Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend 1 minute. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
