Well, it is for more than one dwarf, but the bed is for major operations (things in the red). The guild hall is a place where dwarves of the same trade can meet and discuss tips (how to hold the pick, where good veins are located, etc.)

Random tidbit: obsidian scalpels are actually sharper and therefore more precise than metal scalpels. Just found This little example after a Google search.

There's a topic on the forum about that actually. It's just that not-well-made scalpels and careless surgeons might leave a fragment or two in there. It's harder to do that with something you forged rather than something you chipped out.

We definitely need some boosts to healthcare, and a hospital would be great. Doctors being able to heal (or at least improve) spinal, brain, and neck injuries would be great.

Guild leader / hall... Not really.

We had guild reps in the 2D version...  All they did was sit around, ask for better lodgings than the other dwarves, and complain about having to work too hard.

Just like real life!

Yes, it would be very useful to have some sort of medical dwarf that could help out the injured and make them take slightly less than two years to heal those ribs up.  However, for a quick fix, it might just be a good idea to make dwarves bring booze instead of water.

It should take a legendary doctor to pull off a surgery on a [NERVOUS] organ with any real degree of success.

Well, the result is either a dead dwarf or a healed dwarf, as opposed to eternally crippled like now, so it's still an improvement.

There were some really good ideas for a dwarven hospital/clinic in this thread:
