This should be a quick one to answer. I was kinda looking into the triple threat template, butI'm really hesitant about giving up the abillity to heal with novice medic.
So say if I dropped the Underworld tree for novice medic is it going to hurt my ability to slice at all? I was just wondering because I dont run around buffed all the time, unless I'm going to be taking on really hard stuff.
Also what is a good HAM setup as well?

Master Smugglers do slice better than those with just Slicing 4. It'a about a 5% difference, I think. Don't worry about giving up Novice Medic. I haven't had that since I first started, and haven't missed it. I'll never give up Meditate, though.

I was a doctor for a good while and I was addicted to my stim heals. Smuggler was a profession I did when I was doing the old holocron thing. It was my first one, recentally I decided to take it up again. I really liked it the first time so I started the Triple Threat thing Pistol/TKA/Smuggler but was hesident about dropping Novice Medic. Healing was just part of life everyday. Well I'm a master now of all three and I don't miss medic at all. TKA though makes up for it with the meditation heals.
Yes you do get a hidden 5% increase in master with slices so if your looking for better slices keep the MS.

Just to add on that, most people want a master slice and won't go for less. So unless your slicing for yourself only..it's something to think about

I'm a MAster Smuggler/ Pistoleer with some medic and others. I'm usually using stims all the time but with TKA you can't heal during a fight can you?
Also, I kept medic to be able to heal others just in case there's noone else around.

And why would you consider losing the Master Smuggler title? lol
I've worn it proudly for about 4 months now 
and i think it will stay until i leave the game.

No, Meditate will not heal you during battle, but it handles everything but Battle Fatigue afterwards (gotta have some reason to go watch the dancer-girls, eh?
)If you just can't do without Novice Medic, and want to stay Master Smuggler, maybe take a look at which combat profession you like the best, then see which tree from the other you can dump.

If it's for yourself AND for fighting, don't worry about medic.
I was TKM M. pistoleer, smugger w/ DF and slicer, medic 1040 (for stim D's)
I went cold turkey to pick up master smuggler and haven't missed it once (and this is going from D's to nothing lol)
(and this is going from D's to nothing lol)When I get in trouble I use food/spice to get me through...if I'm unsuccesfull there's always feign death to prevent you from cloning
I'm actually dropping master again to pick up some more combat skills...won't see me waistnig my points on medic again lol
