While studying to be a doctor , Kimble encountered a fellow student with notoriously poor medical skills and intelligence , though the man ' s family wealth prevented him from being kicked out . Kimble began to specialize in xenopathology while also learning the skills of combat medicine , orthodontia , and other medical disciplines , and his classmates often complained that Kimble received favorable treatment from his female instructors .

Doc ' s romantic relationship with Djannis ended quickly , and another relationship with a woman named Lynlee on the planet Malastare ended when Doc left her behind without leaving her any credits to purchase passage on a shuttle off - planet . Doc soon became known for selling medical items ranging from trauma kit s to entire hospitals , and a gang of criminals nicknamed him " Doc Operator , " though he earned their ire when he scammed them out of a large sum of credits and failed to deliver a promised shipment of spice . When Doc learned of a powerful Hutt who was hoarding medpacs after a powerful groundquake , Doc forged a death mark signed by the Hutt against a clan of Mandalorian warriors and helped the clan discover the false death mark . The Mandalorians promptly attacked the Hutt ' s palace , and Doc managed to recover the medpacs and a few rare gems from the palace in the chaos . Doc donated the medpacs to all of the hospitals in the disaster zone , an action that saved thousands of lives .

Doc also worked with the organization known as the Red Band Rebels on the planet Cadinth for a time . In 3644 BBY , Doc encountered a Twi ' lek doctor named Prudy on the planet Ord Mantell , and the two began a romantic relationship that soon resulted in their engagement . Doc even used the credits from his spice scam to purchase Prudy a hospital on the planet Alderaan , but Prudy ' s rushing of their wedding gave Doc cold feet and he left her at the altar . Around the same time , a trio of jealous crime lords on Ord Mantell supposedly placed a bounty on Doc , which some believed was the reason for his departure . However , Doc ' s adventuring and his obsession with undermining tyrants and despots across the galaxy came to end on the planet Little Kessel , where he crossed the Kaleesh warlord Xim ' tahal the Defaced and was nearly killed as a result . After that encounter , Doc joined up with the Balmorran resistance on the planet Balmorra , where he aided the resistance fighters unofficially as a doctor in their fight against the Sith Empire .

Doc continued his efforts to heal the wounded , aiding resistance members , civilians , and soldiers , though he was the only trained doctor at the facility . However , the hospital ' s operations were disrupted when Imperial forces intercepted a shipment of trauma kits en route to the facility . Not long afterwards , the facility came under attack by a swarm of insectoid Colicoids , forcing Doc to send out a distress signal that was answered by the Jedi Knight known as the Hero of Tython , who was responding to the signal in order to gain the trust of the resistance and therefore further the Jedi ' s own mission on Balmorra . The Jedi and a companion cut a path through the attacking Colicoids , but Doc alerted the pair to an incoming nest of Colicoids and warned the Jedi to close the insectoids ' tunnels before racing to the secure area in order to protect his patients .
