This is the stupidest thing in the game. I got a disease from fighting a panther last nite, and today Ive spent a hr looking for some1 to healme and out of the 20 master doctors I asked they all said they cant. So how long does a disease last, or is it thier to the impossable happens and u find some doctor that can fix it?

I think it depends on the creature and how many times you were deseased. I once timed the medium disease I got from a Seething Bol Crusher on Dant. It lasted 55 minutes and blackened all my HAM bars. The reason the doctors could not help you is that it requires a seperate pack to cure disease and another to cure poison. Most doctors do not carry them because of low demand. By the time we get involved the disease is gone and we cure the wounds.

In My experience it seems to go on for two hours. I usually either camp or sit in my house and just keep using stims until it subsides. Yeah most Doctors in this game can't do anything but buff.

depends on the disease, it can be up to 15 -30 min.
the docs lied. You are better off asking in mining, or any other crowded place. Many docs don't wear their title and will cure it for you.

It depends on the disease. Some can last for a very long time. Some only a few minutes.
I can't believe that out of 20 docs no one was able/willing to cure you. That's just sad. Of course we all run out of meds sometimes I guess. A guy asked for wound heal from me yesterday since I was moving I had left my med bag at home and could do nothing for him.
I am not sure, but I believe that if you sit in the med center on a bed then the disease will go away faster an your wounds will heal as well. It may take a while, however.

When I make a disease the duration is usually 12-15 minutes.
Some Mob diseases will last over an hour. Ouch!

I can believe that noone was willing and/or able.. I see it all the time.. a med center full of holo[censored] grinding medic away.. several with novice doc tags up and flying all wanting to heal up that tumbler or dancer doing flourishes...
Every time I get really irritated with it I boot up my doc alt and head into that med center and loudly abuse the people grind whilst I heal disease on people... healing gives XP, sit there -at- the keyboard and heal your tumbler, but heal others too ...
Yes, I have healed a tumbler or three in my grind, but I was -always- at the keyboard and whenever someone came in with wounds I would stop grinding and heal the person who NEEDED it.. what irritates me as well is those people who come in and DEMAND healing RIGHT NOW and then have no consideration for the costs of the resources that we put into that wound heal...

You need to find a PvP doctor 
We are never without our poison and disease cure packs.
We are never without our poison and disease cure packs.I see it all the time in cities -- diseased people run up to the buffing doctors outside Coronet starport and none of them have ever owned a cure pack. Meanwhile I'm running around with a crate of each in my backpack, made with the best possible resources, to counteract the strongest PvP poisons/diseases

Tell me about it, got hit by a Disease once when a noob, lasted for 2 and a half hours and no Doc would help (was asking Master Docs), thats what made me go Doc, so i could cure myself and any noobs i saw with a disease they got from a bocatt etc.

Wow, that is sad that out of 20 docs none had cures. I don't PVP much, but I always have disease and poison cures on me. I fight too many nasty critters to not have them with me.
Once I mastered doc my first priority was to craft at least one crate of each kind of medicine to carry with me so that I'd always have what I needed. A doc without meds is pretty useless. I've even got a stack of fire blankets, and I've never used those.

The critter diseases can be nasty. One recommendation (short of getting doctor) is to spend 49 skill points (assuming that you aren't a brawler) to get to TKA 4-0-0-0. Between powerboost and meditate, it's a great investment of skill points for a combat character that mainly does solo PvE. If you are a commando or smuggler, it's only 20 skill points more.
