The new way to handle healthcare seems contrary to v50's trend of reducing micromanagement. We now need to open the Location Information menu for each hospital to assign specific dwarves for them. In previous versions, all dwarves with healthcare related jobs would work on all hospitals they could find.

I get the potential advantages (dedicated doctors for each specific hospital you might have), but I'd like to be able to "set and forget" my hospitals when I don't need to be too hands-on with them.

I agrre. I can set work details for doctors, so why do I need to assign them to hospitals too? Maybe it would make sense sometimes though, if two hospitals are very far apart. A compromise might be that if you assign a dwarf to medical labours but not to a hospital then they will work anywhere.

Also, it doesn't seem like medical tasks have any tendency to go to the most skilled doctors the way other tasks do. I have a couple of decent surgeons, but the dabblers do all the surgery in my fort. I can only assume that's what their patients keep yelling at the manager about.

I mean, my personal solution to this is to completely remove the labors, since they're confusing and do literally nothing at the moment
