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: cancer, terminal illness, graphic descriptions of the same
Age (of physical body): Ariane's physical body is approximately 30 years old, developmentally. It has been held in stasis for centuries - approximately 700-1,000 years.
General health: Poor. See below for more details.
Any physical disabilities or medical conditions?: Ariane has suffered from advanced and aggressive cancer caused by long-term radiation poisoning. Visually, this has caused weight loss, hair thinning, tooth loss, and lesions on her skin. Ariane experiences chronic pain and muscle weakness/atrophy from both the cancer and the experience of existing in cryogenic suspension for centuries. While she no longer has active cancer, she still currently experiences the after-effects from having cancer and being unable to move for a long period of time - namely, the chronic pain, weakness, and visual symptoms noted above.
Anything about their physiology that would be considered unusual by someone with a knowledge of human anatomy?: Ariane is simultaneously 30 years old and hundreds-to-thousands of years old.
Would you prefer to play out or hand wave the examination? Play out!
Anything else I should know?: Nothing at the moment, but I'll be sure to reach out if anything comes up.
