Hullo!
Pal just posted a notice to the bulletin board offering physical medical examinations to anyone who is interested! Between Dax’s death and Jaune’s de-aging, and armed with newly-regained knowledge of human anatomy, he has decided that it would be a very good idea if they all kept better track of their health and what the heck is going on with their insides. This is obviously totally optional, both icly and oocly, but Pal probably will cheerfully and annoyingly ask people if they’ve had their physicals yet until they have.
The nitty-gritty: Though he isn’t a medical professional, not even by the standards of his own universe, in canon Pal has gained pretty advanced knowledge of medicine. Right now, he basically just knows everything there is to know about human anatomy; he can’t really treat or diagnose anything (yet!), but he knows enough to be able to say, for example, “I’m pretty sure your kidneys aren’t supposed to look like that.”
And how does he know what your kidneys look like? In essence, thanks to his necromantic powers, Pal can be a sort of walking MRI machine. He’s also very good at gauging the physical age of things, and at detecting cell death. He achieves all of this by laying his hands on someone. See, not invasive at all! But maybe a little spooky.
Anyway! If your character would be interested, please fill out the following form, just to help me keep track of what Pal knows. Obviously we have varying levels of canon knowledge about our characters’ health, so feel free to be as specific or general as possible.
And let me know if you have any questions!

cw: mentions / descriptions of old injuries
Age (of physical body): 22
General health: Ridiculously healthy. It's absurd.
Any physical disabilities or medical conditions?: He's currently running himself a little ragged. Chronic anxiety & resulting insomnia mean he doesn't get as much sleep as he should, and he has a bad habit of pushing through training injuries when he shouldn't, so he's got some muscle tearing that he really should deal with better. That seems to be an old habit.
Anything about their physiology that would be considered unusual by someone with a knowledge of human anatomy?: Nope! Flynn's a bog-standard human being.
Would you prefer to play out or hand wave the examination? We can handwave it!
Anything else I should know?: Flynn is, 1, absolutely covered in scars, particularly a large nasty one over his heart that looks like a blast wound healed over badly and a lot of smaller ones that look like sword wounds and bite / claw marks,
and 2, as healthy as he is now, it's pretty clear from skeletal stuff that he was a malnourished kid for a while.
