it basically means that he has very sensitive sense of touch. so this allows him to feel if an area is inflamed ect. Not how it works in the real world but here it fits
Mirror-touch synesthesia is real, but it doesn’t give psychic abilities. For Peter to have felt the pain of Rufus’s ankle or of Walt’s knee, Peter would have had to have perceived something, such as the patient limping, that told him that is where the patient was hurting.
Mirror-touch synesthesia is a rare condition which causes individuals to experience a similar sensation in the same part of the body (such as touch) that another person feels. For example, if someone with this condition were to observe someone touching their cheek, they would feel the same sensation on their own cheek.

If Peter touched me right now, he’d be annoyed.

After going through all the mirror-themed gags all these comic strips have done this week and last week, I’m feeling less reflected.

If I could have another gift, I would want the gift of healing others. How about you?

I think I get it, but two more weeks of explanation would probably be a prudent idea. And don’t forget to give his full name every day, just in case!
