I can only imagine the malpractice suit that would happen if your best medical dwarf had a Fell mood in the middle of a procedure.

something like this?:

If you hit a dwarf with moving water with sufficient strength it will knock the baby out of the mother's arms.  The water can then be used to sweep the baby into a well or cistern for drowning.  The device which does this can also double as a mist generator.

I personally ascribe to the idea that nobles should be treated as nicely as possible, because they're nobles.  The peasantry may resent them, but what do I care for peasants.  The nobility are my main concern.  After all, the entire reason they're in the game is to provide a challenge, and I like to think that if you're in a position to make demands and enforce your decisions, then you deserve whatever you want.  Plus, I like to view myself as the divinity of a divine right monarchy, and I want the dwarves to know that their betters are better because I believe they are.

So yeah, I'm definitely ok with the idea of nobles being able to say that they get treated before lesser dwarves.

This does lead to an interesting way of killing nobles though...

Shady Dwarf:The dwarves I work for want this operation to go...not so well, if you get my meaning.
Doctor:And the payment?
Shady Dwarf:The booze will be delivered after the "accident".

You would of course have to kill the doctor to get rid of all the evidence, but that parts easier.

Every Dwarf has a price. Remember that. From a dozen cases of Sunshine on the doorstep of a Noble in the Mountainhomes to a cup of Gutter Cruor held above the head of a desperate and sober dredge, every Dwarf has a price. And as long as you can pay that price?  Then everyone in the world can be wrapped around your beard.

I fear that this thread may have descended more into a thread about how we need a dwarven mafia.

And by fear I mean love...a lot.

For those that missed it: OP was a large, mangy, cave-dwelling creature with an unnatural affinity for regenerating limbs.

He would therefore have no need what-so-ever for a healthcare system. Don't be so silly!
