Carter stares because he steeled himself for this one, thinking he was ready. No, really, he did. Some supernatural cause for the bruises. Even a curse, yeah, maybe her hands were just cursed, sure.
But then it goes into a completely different direction and he's not prepared for the mental whiplash of that one. His mouth opens, closes, as he nods along, then shakes his head, then nods along again, his facial expression having as much of a hard time to keep up as his mind. It feels like Dr. Benton at rounds, rattling down an impossible task with three questions laced into them and then just leaving him with it.
Carter, suppose your patient has alien genes mixed into their DNA. They come in here with multiple fractures, self-inflicted by internal vibrations. How would you proceed?]
Uhhhhh.
[It's a long, strategic sound, trying to buy his mind more time.]

"Inhumans"? That's a bit harsh, don't you think?
