Whenever you perform surgery or otherwise must deal damage to remove a condition or affliction, you roll the damage but use the minimum result unless you rolled the maximum result. The amount of hit points or points of ability damage restored each day when you provide long-term care is increased by 1.
can anyone tell me when you must deal damage to remove a condition or affliction.
I feel like it's probably lycanthropy or some other curse but I'm finding it hard to imagine when this even could be triggered - maybe I'm missing something obvious though so I thought i'd ask.

The trait seems to be written rather specifically for stuff in Horror Adventures. Fleshcrafting requires surgery that dels ability score damage, and curing the Promethean corruption requires removing the cyborg parts. I can't think of anything else...

Cybernetics, Shadow Piercings, the above mentioned flesh crafting as well as a few other odds and ends that you will rarely run into.
So yeah it doesn't show up much without the first three I mentioned.

I think the real value of the trait is that it increases the HP or ability damage from long term care. The heal skill does not go into a lot of details on how it works. In real life there are a lot of times where healing someone requires you to do damage to them. Surgery for the most part is not really detailed in the game.

Thanks folks. All good responses
Stopping rot grubs or death scarabs. Also those worms that jump from undead and try to unkill their new host.
