This is cool, but I would like to point out one important thing: The only thing the Chief medical dwarf does is enable the healthcare screen. He is not required to do diagnostic work on patients, and any dwarf with the diagnostician skill enabled will do the job.

So while this is cool, all it does is give you the ability to have the healthcare screen enabled without having a chief medical dwarf.

Isnt he needed for this first diagnostic on a dwarf, before anyone else does anything on him? I am not entirely sure about this, but I think I remember this. It might have changed, or might have been false information all along, but I read it on several occasions. Which might or might not be true, regardless of what I just send smake in a PM, saying that it is true. ^^

My personal favorite twist on healthcare is appointment-as-needed workers who also do [RESPONSIBILITY:BUILD_MORALE] and [RESPONSIBILITY:MEET_WORKERS].

Semantic nit-picking but -- "any dwarf with the diagnostician skill enabled will do the job" is perhaps more accurately, CAN do the job.  WILL do the job if restricted to a  hospital warren.  Probably.  Just sayin'.  It's rather like, any dwarf with item hauling labor enabled CAN carry the leftover stuff to the Atom Smasher, but when he feels like getting around to it seems to be a random event.

This is a very elegant fix. Kudos to you, sir.

I've noticed that enabling diagnosis ability across a large swath of dwarves gets everyone out the hospital door quicker after a siege and the problems with chronic rot and infection have mostly gone away, even without soap.

I especially do that when playing kobold camp. They seem to have a huge number of wounded if so much as a honey badger falls into the cave pit.

Me, too. In a mature fort, I will have 3 to 5 dwarves assigned each of the doctor skills. If, say, you have four dwarves each assigned only the 'diagnostician' skill, you should have no problem with dwarves getting diagnosed quickly.

Very interesting. Going to be playing with the non-standard bureaucracy.
