Starfield - Deal Damage to Yourself and Get Healed by a Doctor

Jump From the Ramp near Reliant Medical to Take Fall Damage

There's a ramp near Reliant Medical in New Atlantis that you can jump from to take fall damage.

Another option is to sprint until it starts to reduce your health. The more encumbered you are, the quicker your O2 and health will be drained.

Get Yourself Healed by Dr. Alexei

You can have your health restored in the nearby Reliant Medical for 400 Credits to complete the challenge.

This is also an excellent way to complete the challenges for the Rejuvenation, Gymnastics, and Cellular Regeneration skills.

Alternatively, you can play the game regularly and heal yourself with Aid items. Using healing items also completes the Medicine skill rank challenge.
