Many people run Alt Toons to buff/heal or act as merchant for their primary toon. I happen to be one of those people. For my alt I decided to create a Doctor so I could buff at will and also buff my guild mates and others I befriend in-game. Please understand that I do not work in the starports and if I have meds on hand I will buff anyone that asks.

I ran my character to Master Doctor and created a Macro to buff a character that I have targeted. Be sure to eat Bivoli Tempari and have Bio Enhancing clothing plus a Medical Droid (the best Med Droids I have seen give you a 10% boost to the buffing level – any good Droidsmith should have them – on Bloodfin they usually go for 70-90k but also have other features such as storage or crafting abilities.)

Buffing Macro:

/say Buff Starting Now;
/say Buffing Health;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/pause 16;
/say Buffing Strength;
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/pause 16;
/say Buffing Constitution;
/ui action toolbarSlot07;
/pause 16;
/say Buffing Action;
/ui action toolbarSlot08;
/pause 16;
/say Buffing Quickness;
/ui action toolbarSlot09;
/pause 16;
/say Buffing Stamina;
/ui action toolbarSlot10;
/say Buff Complete;

This takes care of the Doc Buffs.

I also wanted this Toon to be able to buff the mind stats. I decided to use the remaining Skill Points to make this a Dancer and Musician. I won't bore you with the details of leveling either as there are guides a plenty on that topic. I took my Doc to Music Techniques IV and Dancing Techniques IV in each profession. This allows my Doc to also buff Mind, Focus and Willpower to 175% of their base stats for up to 2 hours.

I had a hard time finding macros to help with the mind buff. I did discover through trial and error that flourishes are the key to a quick mind buff. This Macro will allow you to buff the 3 mind stats for any character watching you, grouped or not, in just over 6 minutes.
Make sure everyone that wishes to be buffed is within hearing and watching range. You can Dance or Play first. I Dance first as it buffs the stats in the order they are listed. Make sure your instrument is equipped first. Buff your Action, Quickness and Stamina stats or eat something that does it for you (though as a Doc you can easily buff yourself with those failed med packs).

Main Buff Macro:

/say Starting Mind/Focus/Willpower buff in 30 seconds;
/pause 15;
/startdance popular;
/pause 5;
/say /Watch me now;
/pause 5;
/macro qflo; (This is the flourish macro listed below)
/pause 150;
/say Mind buff almost done... be prepared to /stopwatch to get the buff;
/pause 40;
/stopdance;
/say /stopwatch now and prepare to listen;
/pause 10;
/startmusic starwars3;
/pause 5;
/say /Listen to me now for the Focus/Willpower buffs;
/pause 150;
/say Almost done... prepare to /stoplisten;
/pause 40;
/say /stopwatch now to get the buff;
/pause 5;
/say Have Fun!;
/dump;

Flourish Macro:

name this qflo so it will work with previous Macro.

/flo 1;
/flo 2;
/flo 3;
/macro qflo;

That's all there is to it. Using this you can quickly buff all the stats of any character. Set up in a personal home and advertise the buff service if you want to run this as a business.

Hope this helps and this is not all my original work... I got many a tip from performers and docs and people on this forum.
