One word: MIND
Your mind would drain so fast, it's best to have a separate doctor.The buffs from doctor allow you to max out every mind stat (why do you need 1000 health when you can buff it to 2000 from 600?). This plus the fact that you can heal away all of the damage done to your health and action with a single heal allows you to have less mind drain than a lot of other people.
While it is true mind would still be your weakest point, it is much less so than a lot of other characters who are not able to sacrifice their other stats to the same extent you would be able to.
Then my theory still holds, MIND. You can buff your HA stats out the wazoo, but when that mob starts hitting your mind you can't be healed.
Master TKA, Master CH, Medic 4/3/4/0 here....
I think this setup works fine. If someone is kitin me... well let him kite my Pet... i watch at safe distance 
i think its better to pay a doctor to do all this crap to you.that way you can spend your skill points on something else.besides money talks and you flash a cool 5-10k in front of a master doctors face.you will get buffed even if your oposing faction.i have seen it.
besides i dont doubt they nerf the time doctor buffs stay up.seems like anything fun or decent they decide is too unbalancing.
i also think you should be under the effect of food for as long as it is in your system.give the poor chefs some love.
why bother having doc at 0-0-4-0. You can't buff yourself unless you get 0-2-0-0?
Wow Xcizor,
May I speak on behalf of the TK community when I say that that was perhaps one of the best compliments I've ever heard. How often do you come across someone from another class that comes to our forums and posts something GOOD? Let alone flattering. Thanks man. I'll head over to the commando and post how even when I'm buffed, a couple flames make my long HAM stats look like a red/black/blue/green flag from a foreign country...even if he's dead...nasty stuff napalm.
TKA + Doctor != ownage. Still will die if any range person decides to kite you and shoot at your mind bar. Any class can benefit from doctor buffs...they just don't come cheap.
Because fully maxed out meds require a high medicine knowledge level, I like using Enhance D's, and all the other high level items.
so go get some scout too, and only master medic instead of master doctor?

Without experimenting, my Ds are only need a med use of 54. Being 0-0-4-0 would give you 90 med use skill. Way more then needed for enhance D. Not to mention it doesn't matter squat how much med use skill you have since you can't even enhance until Advanced Wound Treatment. At best without experimenting down the med usage (waste of experiment points) you'd have to be 0-2-2-0.
As a Master Doc, and TK 0/1/1/1 and Pistoleer 0/0/0/0 w/ a tinge of scout (explore 3) I do pretty dang good w/ buffs.
*I* can't tell how good i am in PVP because once it goes to my typing a /tell to someone and it pops up 5 minutes later its fairly useless to try to actually USE a special move on someone. (Ie kd to be able to get a few hits in on em before they burst like a cat w/ its tail on fire)
Also am Zabrak w/ 1000/500/900 mind stats... i USUALLY don't even notice my mind going down =) Let alone if i've watched a master musician/dancer and popped that up to 1500/500/1300 or whatever it buffs to. =) I can't imaging having access to long lasting food buffs... and i've gone off spice due to my Spice Anonymous (SA) fellowship. <rofl> (I hate puking) Spamming TK moves is FUN after having to watch my HAM after every strike w/ a VK... (kd/diz/lung/blind/stun - ok i can hit cha normal now...rofl)
Either way - people are suprised on what i can actually "tank" <eg> and how good a "distraction" I am PvE =)

Heh..
Teras Kasi Master / Doctor ( 0/0/4/0 [I buy my meds and all other things] 
) / Master Brawler / Novice Pike here.
Yes its a beautiful combo, you can spam your specials all day long (as a 1000, 500, 900 mind zabrak my specials cost nothing with a little food) and then heal when you are low ( I eat stimpacks like a mofo tho ), you are pretty rad. for those who say mind is our biggest flaw, might be true I guess, not really for me; if I am buffed in Health and Action + Strength and Quickness I will have tons of both and not be taking any damage, when my mind gets really low I equilibrium and normally once I do that my mind is full again and I put on the finishing touches and own.
As for anyone kiting me, lunge 2 + intimidate 2 makes that fairly impossible; longer range + longer lasting + longer range intim + longer lasting + better effect = if you wanna run, go right ahead, ill sit down in a cantina and wait for you to come back (this is for those rangers who get sneaky and burstrun away like im gonna chase them) but if its just an average joe, slap the lunge2 on and then knock them the f' down with KD2, and blast either unarmed hit 3 or head hit 1 and they will be toast within seconds.
