He just went rambo and took out an entire ambush on his own with very little armour on.  He created a blood bath, killing 1 of the attackers and choping the limbs off of several others.  He also cut open a few arteries.  I think only 1 of the attackers managed to retreat without sustaining a major injurie.  However due to his own injuries my commander has lost the ability to stand (sencorie nerve damage to his left foot, several nevers severed?) and also has an infection (left foot?).  However, he's listed as "no job" rather than "resting" and no's going to pick him up and drag him to the hospital so my doctors can fix him up.  Can i force him to rest?  What can i do to fix this?

and Not Much

Medical issues are taken care of whenever dwarves damn well feel like it, including hauling the injured. I've had a badly injured dwarf (from a cave-in) lie on the floor with complete access and 25 idlers for a week before someone decided to haul his ass to the hospital.

If he's lost the ability to stand, he is no longer a useful member of society, all he can really do take up booze and food.

ok so he pretty much just walked his injuries off...or should i say "sat there like an idiot".  He now only has a dented foot.  One of my guys finaly decided to drag his sorry ass to the hospital, and m guy also seems to have regained the ability to walk...im not sure why i even keep my doctors around if my guys can just heal anything off by sitting there twiddling their thumbs for a week....oh well...im just gonna hope the docs can fix the infection and mild foot injurie so he can get back to partolling.....thanks dwarf fortres for your unter randomness and inpredictability -.-'

Well good, apparently he had superior healing or something. Watch out for that infection though. Even after your doctors "clean" it, it can kill the dwarf several months later.

dude, your milta commander is bad-ass!

 I had related experience recently when a soldier had his foot cut open twice. The first time was early on, and there being no doctor around to mend him, he laid about for a couple of weeks and then one day got up and went on with his business. The second time, however,  he was hauled off to the hospital where he received medical aid, and was apparently prescribed three years of bed rest, which lasted until a criminally insane cohort entered in room and beat him to death with a wooden axe. I've read about the bug with dwarves not leaving the hospital when their wounds have healed, but this was not the case. His wee little injury had persisted, uninfected, after all that time.

Sometimes I wonder if you're better off without a hospital.

I as well wonder if you're better off without a chief medical dwarf. I once had someone beat up pretty bad and had the hospital set up and stocked already and lots of different specialized doctors from huge migrant waves forgot to appoint the noble though. One of the diagnosers however went in diagnosed very fast and then all the doctors would come and treat everything that was pending. After appointing the noble treatment was pretty much as good but diagnosing would take a lot longer to actually begin and also to finish.
