Do any of you know some ways to give dwarves injuries that aren't lethal or permanently disabling to train doctors?

[i2amroy]

The methods outlined in this thread work just as well for training doctors as for combating skill rust.

[Skorpion]

Dropping idlers/nobles a few z-levels with a bridge every so often is the gist of it.

Do NOT drop someone repeatedly through Z-levels, they'll break both their legs and get an infection, and leave blood splatter everywhere.

What are you, some kind of elf?

Build some upright spikes scattered around high traffic corridors in your fort and randomly turn them on every couple of weeks.

Or build a timed logic system that turns them on at a set schedule. Or a random one!

How would you build a random one?

Penned animal + pressure plate?  Bigger the pen, more average time between activation.

I just double the XP gain for the medical professions by adding

   [SKILL_LEARN_RATE:DRESS_WOUNDS:200]
   [SKILL_LEARN_RATE:DIAGNOSE:200]
   [SKILL_LEARN_RATE:SURGERY:200]
   [SKILL_LEARN_RATE:SET_BONE:200]
   [SKILL_LEARN_RATE:SUTURE:200]

to dwarves in creature_standard.txt

Yeah it's cheaty as hell but it's not like you can set doctors to train/R all day to get legendary in a year.

I did the bridge drop thing. As an added bonus, the drop ends right next to the dining room, so eating dwarves get to watch the spectacle of their friends and relatives falling several z-levels to fracture important limbs, bleed all over the place and pass out from pain. All with the knowledge that they might be next!
