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
[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.
