There are just distinct smells you start to pick up on as you treat a variety of illnesses. There is no superpower to it. Scents tend to form a long memory, so if you catch a good whiff of a suppurative exudate you'll never forget it. For many of us we probably pick up on some VOCs emitted by various bacteria and it can give us the strong intuition the poster above describes.

Yes, kinda assumed that a bit, since illness do give out a certain smell,,was just wondering what else blossomed from that. Maybe the only superpower is having awareness,,
