Basic, obvious things, like if you're missing a limb (and don't have a prosthetic) or something.
If you are in pain or have an abnormal gait for some other reason, they can tell by how you walk or how you stand.
If you are really pale you may have anemia/iron deficiency.
If you are obviously overweight.
Skin problems- everything from acne to rosacea to dandruff.
Doctors can usually tell if you've been using illicit drugs for a while or if you have an eating disorder- your hair, skin, and fingernails change with these things.
If you have a liver problem, the whites of your eyes will be yellowish.
If you have allergies or are on pot or something, your eyes may be reddish.
Usually a doctor can kind of tell what mood you're in by your expression, or if you are in major pain.
