[Serio]

For the past two years, my Captain of the Guard has been walking around with a broken hand, fractured rib, and fractured liver. Despite the (presumably) excruciating pain, he still hasn't visited the doctor despite the visit for evaluation and cleaning. Since then, he has taken down four forgotten beasts, and gained a title but he still seems to be afraid of doctors. There's no problem with the rest of the fortress. The doctors were even able to fix up a dwarf that had most of his bones shattered after an accident with a trap, but the captain seems to be afraid and wont go anywhere near the hospital.

Is this a bug, or is my captain truly more worried about protecting the booze than his own health?

do any of your other militia go to the doctor, because if it's him then demote him out of the military

He ain't got time to bleed.

strip his armor, or some of it, and make him pull a lever connected to spike traps at the end of a hallway.  This should give him a minor injury and cause him to get reevaluated at the hospital.

Plaster is needed in order to set broken bones, right? That might be the explanation then. There's no sedimentary layer on the map, so I have no method of obtaining the materials needed for plaster powder at the moment. Assuming I can get the next caravan to bring me some, he should only have to suffer another year or two.

Having plaster or not does not dictate whether he visits the doctor or not. What does his health screen say? I mean not his wounds, what did the doctor evaluate about them?

[Serio]

"Right hand, bone
Needs setting
Smashed apart"

That's all it says about the right hand. The rest is just the wounds, no evaluation apparently done on them. The wounds don't seem to impede his military career, though, so I'm in no rush to fix it.
