I've currently got a dwarf that's been strangled for a few months now, and I'm getting worried.
I'm new to this, so If anyone could explain how to upload screenshots, I'd be appreciative.

I've currently got a dwarf that's been strangled for a few months now, and I'm getting worried.

What do you mean by "strangled" and "in Stasis"? Is this dwarf critically wounded? Is it frozen in time or otherwise unable to move? Have you built some kind of freezing chamber, and you're not sure how to break Han out of the carbonite? Is said dwarf in a death match with a goblin who is trying to strangle the life out of it, but it somehow can't?

I'm new to this, so If anyone could explain how to upload screenshots, I'd be appreciative.

Hit the Print Screen key on your keyboard ("Prt Scrn" on mine), open a simple image editing program like MSPaint (just called "Paint" in Windows XP, start menu --> Accessories), then hit control-V to paste the screenshot into the program and save the image. Then go to an image-hosting web site (like this one) and upload the image. Copy the URL of the uploaded image and paste it in your post. If you're feeling fancy, you can use the img tags on the URL for the image itself, like I did here for my iron earring:

Or, if you're on a Mac, you use command-shift-3 and your picture will show up on the desktop. If you want to crop it, just drag a box around the area you want in Preview and press Command-K.

Started on the fifteenth of slate, still in progress on the 24th of Galena. Therefore, logically, The dwarf was put into stasis, as nobody has come to help him, and he hasn't starved, nor gotten the slightest bit thirsty during the strangling.

Do you have people set to recover the wounded?

Are they allowed to go outside to look for people?

Someone definitely should have carried that dwarf to an available bed, their room or the hospital by now. It's possible he will never wake up.....cause that's a lot of harpy strangles.

Check the dwarf's detailed view (u --> select dwarf --> v --> Enter). If he has brain or spinal damage....yeah. He might be toast.

I'm pretty sure people that are unconscious don't deal with hunger and thirst issues. Probably because there's no way to force feed unconscious people. Yet.

In terms of the time scale though, a dwarf being out of commission for one reason or another, for a year or more, is not uncommon.

This bug pops up every now and again. It happens when two creatures are wrestling and one falls unconscious; the one that's still awake just keeps whaling on them forever, and for some reason the unconscious one never dies. As soon as that harpy stops attacking, the dwarf will die.
