[Rutilant]

Typical forgotten beast encounter resulted in my dwarf's foot slowly but surely swelling and rotting.  He, after some prodding, went to visit the hospital and after waiting just long enough for three doctors to descend on him at once (desperate for work it seems) to start removing the rotten flesh, cleaning, etc, he gets up and wanders off to the main meeting area to stink up the place with No Job.

I don't quite understand;  Most problems I've read about hospitals involved getting the doctors to start treatment, but i've never heard of this - any ideas?


Edit:  Evidently he's also ignoring burrows.  I made a burrow on the hospital beds and assigned him to them, but he's still sitting out in the dining room.  gah.

Next time he wanders in a hospital room try to lock him in.

Also; burrows don't define where a dwarf goes. It defines what a dwarf will interact with, if a workshop is in his/her burrow only they would use it etc.

Oh, I see.

Yeah, I was going to do that, if he ever wandered into one.  He's just sitting out in the meeting hall (frustratingly close to the hospital filled with bored doctors who WANT to work on him)

He had his wound cleaned and received one dressing and then got up off the table right in the middle of having the rotten flesh removed - does the dressing prevent further work being done to the wound?  I'm thinking it's a bug where he thinks he's been treated already, oblivious to the fact that his foot is rotting off.

I've had similar issues with dwarves getting up before their treatment is finished. This dwarf got his hand split open, stayed to have it cleaned, but got up and left before it was sutured and dressed. A couple others have declined to allow the doctor to apply casts. They just get out of bed and go about their normal business.

I'm not sure if it's a bug, feature, or bug-feature. It certainly feels dwarfy. "Bah. I'll be fine, I don't need any of your namby-pamby 'medicine.'"

It's amusing to me that so many of these guys later die from infection.

Actually I decided to get rough with them.  I put them (there were two, actually - one just didn't show symptoms and others affected accepted treatment) into a solo squad and positioned them into my "extreme danger" hallway not intended for dwarven use.  I usually use it to spike the hell out of unwanted cats, but the dwarves were pissing me off.  So.. sadly the menacing steel spike hit one's brain, but the OTHER only got spleen'd and was K/O'd long enough for the doctors to excise the rot.  He's now back in action!
