Hi,
I must admit that for a long time I haven't used buffs much - I kept on hunting with my scout character with no buffs. I now understand SWG is clearly created to make you use buffs, or you would progress too slowly in most professions.
So, I started using buffs. Everytime I log in, I must go to a doctor, pay 8k-10k credits, get my six HA pools buffed; then, I must do the same with mind, even if I am a Master Dancer. This won't be too painful if it wasn't that sometimes doctors ask too much credits, and if it wasn't that Entertainers aren't always easy to find. So I must always travel back to Coronet, on Corellia. This means that everytime I log into the game, I lose at least one hour to get buffed.
This is my question: is there a way, a technique, you use to buff yourself faster, even if you are not a doctor or a medic? Are there droids able to buff your character like a medic? Any other trick?
Thank you!

The way I do it, is to have two other accounts.
One is a Master Doc, the other is a Master Dancer/Master Musician.
I log on may main, then log the other two on, buff my main and log them off again, then head off.
You could try using chef buffs instead, but they aren't as good as a Doc Buffs... you end up spending more money on food, drink and stims than you would have on a buff.
If you want to buff yourself, you could get 0/4/0/0 Doc and buy some buffpacks, you could then give yourself some quite useful buffs, or just go for Master Doctor and make your own buffs.
It is a shame Master Dancers and Master Musicians cant buff themselves, not much you can do about that... you'll have to find one to buff you everytime, or... and I'll get lynched for typing this, go to an AFK buffbot.

There are other alternatives to buffs, but they don't work quite at well.
I find that a breath of heaven / vercupti, a brandy, a canape and a TK power boost is fine against anything except high-level enemies as long as i don't spam the specials.
You will have enough mind to heal yourself if you get hurt during combat too.
Muon + pixie is a great panic button in case you bump into anything very nasty.
You will get through quite a lot of food in 3 hours like this, so it is not really a proper alternative to a buff, but i find it useful if i'm only on for half an hour or an hour or so and i don't want to bother going to coro and getting buffed
