[Tenderroast]

I got sick and tired of my dwarves sitting in the hospital, starving to death, due to lazy chief medical dwarves not even bothering to look at them, and saying "Yup, you cant walk for shit. Here, have a crutch." I couldn't find any kind of mod, or fix, or idea to make the useless maggots medics do their jobs. So, i decided to make my own mod to do it. I couldnt figure out a way to mod the job priority of the chief medic, so I found a work around.... make it so that MORE maggots medics could check out patients to start the treatment plans.

The following is a mod that adds a new noble position. Intern Medics! You can have as many as you want, as long as you have a chief medic

Intern Medic

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

[POSITION:INTERN_MEDICAL_DWARF]
[NAME:intern medical dwarf:intern medical dwarves]
[SITE]
[NUMBER:AS_NEEDED]
[RESPONSIBILITY:HEALTH_MANAGEMENT]
[APPOINTED_BY:CHIEF_MEDICAL_DWARF]
[PRECEDENCE:165]
[DO_NOT_CULL]
[COLOR:5:0:0]
[DUTY_BOUND]

Add that to entity_default.txt (I don't know if placement matters, as long as its in the dwarf area or not, but for neatness sake, i put mine right under neath the chief medic's noble tag)

p.s. Works really great if you use any of the mods that put in training workshops so you can force your medics to learn to diagnose problems.
Also, if any other modder wants to us this in any way, shape, or form in their mod, feel free.

I am now slamming my head against the wall because WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS

Does the chief medical dwarf have to see every patient before they get diagnosed, or is that just another fancy word for diagnostician?

I've been furiously trying to figure out why my injured dwarves are dealing with so many untreated injuries.

[D_E]

I believe by default only the chief medical dwarf can diagnose patients, yes. He does use the diagnostician skill to do so, but even if other doctors have the skill they won't use it.

No. Friggin. Way.

You made my day, thank you. For too long, I was just adding extra people to the job of diagnostician until someone came up and actually did the job.

Code: [Select]

[RESPONSIBILITY:HEALTH_MANAGEMENT]
that is what makes them go do the diagnosis, and since only nobles can have that tag....

Likewise . An elegant fix, sir!

Valikdu has been ecstatic lately. He had witnessed an amazing discovery.

[MaximumZero]

Awesome. Will be applying, and I hope the Toady One takes notice of this.

[smakemupagus]

I'm pretty sure Toady knows, since he is the one who created the code that make RESPONSIBILITY:HEALTH_MANAGEMENT token do stuff

I mean that I hope he realizes that there's a way to fix it that isn't terribly difficult, apparently.

[Meph]

Thank you Tenderroast, seems MasterworkDF gets a new noble. 

[Undeadlord]

I am know waiting for Urist's Anatomy to premiere on a TV station near me! The trials and tribulations of a Fortress full of interns!

[zubb2]

I'm gonna use this, might change the name from intern to medic, but maby not.

[Splint]

Great, this makes me feel incredibly unoriginal with my assistant medical dwarf position.
