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!

Age (of physical body): It seems like centaurs age a bit faster than humans soooo I'm going to say 16, but he looks older.
General health: Pretty good, bro. Look how swole he is!
Any physical disabilities or medical conditions?: Light asthma.
Anything about their physiology that would be considered unusual by someone with a knowledge of human anatomy?: very yes he is half honse, he has four kidneys, I imagine his lungs and heart are also interesting. Can't vomit. He's got a valve in his esophagus that he can consciously toggle to send food to one of two parallel digestive tracts that recombine at the end - one's quick and pretty humanlike, the other is slower and while not actually a horse stomach and set of intestines is set up to more efficiently digest grains and plants.
There's also probably some kind of nerve bundle thing going on in his lower body that means it's not as fully under his conscious control as humans generally are over their legs. If he's worked up he'll fidget, dance, kick out and has to work hard to suppress that. If he's depressed he may just stand in place even if he wants to start moving and it can actually be necessary to beat his own ass to get going.
Would you prefer to play out or hand wave the examination? either, could be funny but I don't think much would come of it.
Anything else I should know?: please tell him he's good bro
