Let's face it, dwarves are stubborn ass hats that were never meant to be doctors. That's why so many starve to death because they are crippled in bed.

My solution?

A command under the V menu that says "bring this guy food and water."

I have had a peasant with only the health care job activated, and while 5 people were starving and dehydrated he had no job. Either fix the doctoring system, or add this feature, I hate watching my guys starve.

The only problem I've ever had is that if you have no water to bring them, they won't get food brought either. they will only do it in order, drink then food.

If I have water and food available, I've never had a dwarf not bring some - even without setting up special 'health care' dwarves.

I've never had a *civilian* starve, but it appears that ordinary working-class dwarves don't appreciate the military, and will happily let them perish.

If I take the injured dwarf out of the military, food and drink arrive in short order.

I lost a good dwarf that way recently.  Had plump helmets, water, buckets, plenty of dwarves with the health care labor, and the wounded guy was "resting".  And, no, he wasn't in the military even.  I just don't know what happened, and that ticks me off.

The way the first post was formulated gave me an idea; couldn't that option aply also to healthy dwarves so your [dwarf doing something very important and time critical] don't have to run across the map to eat and drink
