He's been in the hospital for days, starving and dehydrated. Nobody will bring him water. Finally, all the other patients are gone, and the guy who is helping all the patients? He has no other labors assigned except the doctor/medical labors, and he goes off to pen and pasture an animal? My chief medical dwarf goes to give water, and I think, yes, finally. He walks to the stairs and gives it to someone else. -_-" Anyone know any possible fixes for this? I tried burrowing, but no luck. They have access to water and buckets, so I don't know what the problem is.

Feeding/giving water are very low priority jobs. Get rid of any jobs which could be impeding your healthcare, like the animals.

Burrow your CMD in a space containing only a path connecting buckets, a water source, and the patient. If he doesn't do his job, he dies. Oh well. Incidentally, doesn't having good mental attributes (focus, hardworking, etc.) make a medical dwarf more likely to do their job properly?

[Icefire2314]

The problem is,nobody will tend to him. They don't have any jobs, I have a bunch of idlers. Nobody will do anything now with him. :/

If you didn't already remove all the burrows, you should, but that doesn't seem to be the problem since other dwarfs get water. Make sure that you have enough buckets and that they are not filled with lye because of some bug.
Try deconstructing your militia commander's bed. Maybe that'll get their attention.

If nothing helps, do a little cave-in next to (not on!) the MC to injure him further. That could put him higher on the waiting list.

High empathy is most important for a chief medical dwarf or the only thing he'll do is taking breaks. Seriously, make sure that he likes people or fire him.

It may be a good idea to upload save of this game to bugtracker: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=94 (it may help Toady in fixing this bug + increases change that he will fix this in current bugfixing round)
