...I've had surgery and even traction bench-use go off without hitches (the traction bench must also be bed-adjacent)...

Diagonal counts as adjacent, right?  I have a cluster of furniture in my hospital set up like:
Code: [Select]
BTB
BRB
BTB

Bed, Table, tRaction bench

Will this configuration work?

now my cmd is standing with a palm bucket peering into the depths of a well, contemplating applying a cast, but not actually doing it. D:<

after removing him from the position, forbidding his bucket a few times, and removing the labor, he finally is applying the cast...not quite what i expected, but acceptable

I prefer BTR surrounded by empty space. I have seen a dwarf moving from bed to (adjacent) bed.

It's just a bug.  You've managed to figure out the workaround on your own, or you can just not get any gypsum plaster and bone doctors will use splints instead.

Cage/Chain/Pit Large Animal is another labor that cannot be disabled by dwarves. You would think it'd be tied to Animal Hauling but it most definitely is not.

For me I manage the hospital by having a squad of six to seven dwarves with a custom profession and then using dwarf therapist to disable all of their non hospital labors when people are hospitalized. It takes some micro, but it avoids having all of your hospital workers permanently idling.

Can you just create a burrow over the hospital and the basic necessities (food, booze, beds) for your doctors and thus have them ignore ponding and animals and trade depot tasks (at least most of the time)? They won't run out and drag back the wounded then, but other dwarves can be allowed to do that for them.
