[Hitti-Litti]

A child snatcher managed to somehow slash my engraver's leg off with a single strike of his dagger. Now the engraver is lying on a bed in my hospital. I assigned my expedition leader as the chief medical dwarf and enabled all health care labors as well as disabled all other his labors. But why won't he do anything to the patient, why is he sitting in his room claiming that he doesn't have a job? I have the medical supplies that are in the default embark (splints, crutches etc.), so lack of those can't be the reason for my medic's idleness. Is there some kind of a "DF Hospitals for Dummies" guide out there?

There might actually be nothing wrong with the engraver. If it was just a clean cut to the leg, there will actually be no bleeding, DF doesn't treat the hacking of the leg as nothing more than the limb disappearing, leaving a stump of skin behind.

What is the medical status of your engraver?  Is he showing as 'needs diagnosis'?  If so, your chief medical dwarf should take a look at him.

You might want to take a look at your medical dwarf's personality.  Diagnosing a patient seems to vary in personality depending on the personality of the dwarf.  You want a CMD who really likes to help people and who rushes to act without thinking, not one who hates people and deliberates a long time before doing anything.
