(Found) Trying to remember a book I read 40 yrs ago about a psychic healer

[BudK]

It was about a galactic empire some hitech worlds some low. Guy was on low tech world running from soldiers and ducked into a cave in which locals claimed that of every 1000 who entered 999 would die. A pod fell on his head and when he woke up he had a second consciousness inside that he referred to as Partner. He basically became immortal and travelled the galaxy with some kind of healing ability. I remember he wore a bloodstone pendant and descendants of people he helped called themselves "Children of the healer". I remember at 1 point his hand got cut off and "Partner" was able to regenerate it but got the pigmentation wrong so it grew back silver.
