I agree with Hitch.
There used to be a wonderful community on Live Journal (maybe called...Little Details) where you could get "maladies to order". That is, you give the group the problems you want your character to suffer from (ranging from gunshot wounds to other physical problems like being unable to survive for X time period without meds etc) and the group would supply an illness or location of injury that would likely fit.
Having said that, they would encourage further research in detail. Because little details.
It was also handy for random suggestions for google-ness about living conditions for various locations & time periods. Some of the advice was ordinary, but some of the topics and replies were genuinely interesting (think TV Tropes for writers).
