Medical droid

A medical droid is any mechanical whose primary function is to diagnose or treat illness and injury, perform or assist with surgical procedures, or provide care for the infirm. Medical droids are common fixtures in hospitals and clinics throughout the galaxy. Many models are non-mobile, tethered to huge diagnostic and treatment analysis computers.

The MD series of medical droids are the models that have seen the widest service. From the MD-O's, diagnostic droids who assist physicians with patient examinations, to the MD-5's, general-practitioner droids who are considered the "country doctors" of space, the MD series is versatile, competent, and affordable.

The older 2-1B and FX series droids can still be found among the Alliance and on frontier worlds.
