Got 8 dwarfs permanently stuck in the hospital because they have at least one leg ruined beyond repair (but no spinal damage). No other patient for the time being.
It's time to release a couple war prisoners.
Also worth noting: half the dorfs have some kind of injury, mutilation, or scar. I'm extremely impressed.

toe severed leg motor nerve damage? ^^

Yep, all of them have motor damage. The point is that they're not technically paraplegic, but because crutches are completely bugged, well...
And I didn't have the foresight to implement a massive euthanasia system. Still having trouble getting water where I want because, guess what, when the workforce is not resting, they're taking care of the injured, I'm not mentioning magma, and I didn't think I'd need a cave-in device for that and it'd require way too much work right now. So, it's the caged hostile for now. *facepalms*

Have you tried taking the bed out from under them? I've got a working woodcutter with sensory and motor nerve damage in one of her arms working and being part of society and such.

Arms, yes, but leg? Can they snap out of their resting state and drag themselves on their remaining functioning leg (if they have one) if I take out the beds in their state? Anyway, I'll try, it'll only take a minute or two and I've got nothing to lose...

EDIT: half of them had their bed vanish from under their crippled selves; they're now all jobless and unwilling/unable to move. I knew it.

Watching in horror as my dunk chamber trap floods my fortress.

I just finished testing my euthanasia machine. The hospital has eight rooms, each 2x3. On the back wall, there's a traction bench, a bed and an operating table. By the door, there are two lever-controlled hatches. One leads to my main high-pressure water pipe, the other to my main drain pipe. Got a dwarf with no hope of recovery? Rather than just locking the door and waiting for him to die of thirst, I pull lever A, wait about ten seconds, then pull lever B and bury the corpse.

Yeah, I built one of those back in 40d but the dwarves never got put in those beds.

To test it I ordered a lyemaker test subject into it and then ran the levers. Very effective.

Decked out my queen in all the wearable artifacts. Leather turban, silver low boot, pig tail... chausse?

[Aklyon]

This fort's first artifact has a picture of itself on it.
Oi.

[Lord Braindead]

Just looked through the animal stockpile to see if my cage traps got something useful and found a female giant eagle.

Seems like my warelephants will soon have some flying buddies. 

[Musashi]

Huh... remember my last report?
Well, two patients were enrolled in the army and had gotten injured in duty. I left my able squads right next to the hospital to exterminate the two goblin crossbowmen and the troll once they were done maiming the crippled.
Result:
-nobody got injured.
-because the two crippled soldiers got up and beat the shit out of them.
-one of them is now named "Zefon Boltsflank the Dour Hardiness of Roughness".

... huh
Well
Good to see you
Hey, you can walk again! Isn't that nice?
No, I didn't try to kill you, I... look, let's forget that regrettable accident and go on as a community. Okay?...

EDIT: and now, they stopped moving again. No job, they're hungry and thirsty, but won't move. So what the shit happened? Did they crawl up to the creatures and slice their knees? Whut. 
So, they will keep protecting the hospital to the end, as I can see. Well... I don't see anything wrong with making their wish a reality. I'll keep the hospital open, see how long they last, and make a nice tomb for Lady Zefon. If someone puts them back in bed to rest, well, I'll launch more beasts, but until them, I'll give them some dignity.

Part 17 of my LP is up.

If you're wondering why I focused so much on that trog attack, it's because it makes no damn sense to me. Somehow a trog managed to get through the deep road, barracks, and civilian workshops without hitting a single animal or dwarf. Considering all the training, engraving, building, etc going on down there you'd think someone would encounter it. But no, it just waltzed right up into the meeting hall.

If this had been something like a cave crocodile, Mosus would be a corpse. And that idea bothers me. Even in Townbrush I never had this problem. Beasts from the underground always ran into something on the way up.

Also I didn't mention it, but there's a giant cheetah patrolling the area around Reveredtour. It just keeps walking around the fort, as if it's waiting for a dwarf to go outside. If it's still there when I make the next update, I'm going to introduce it to the Immortal Rags.

After the elephant, is it possible that you have a variant of the old spawning bug? Also, kobolds are more dangerous than you suggest.

I'm not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me. It's made things more interesting, that's for sure.

On the subject of kobolds, off the top of my head they've only been a problem once. A master thief stabbed someone in the hand and crippled it. Though I assumed that had less to do with him being a kobold and more with him being a master thief. After a mason managed to beat a kobold to death once, I can't take them seriously.

its something strange this version .. if you lose but one toe the whole dwarf will very likely lose the whole leg

Finally built a protected surface farm after trolls stomped on all my sunberries three times.

Last thing for today:
three successive very minor cave-ins accident involving deconstructed floor tiles, with one casualty. That is not the important part.
The important part is that, since yesterday, I've started explaining to my mom what actually I had been playing with on my computer for over a month, and she found Dwarf Fortress very complex but interesting according to my descriptions. Tonight, I tell her the news: one idiot must have deconstructed the floor right under his feet or something, and I joked about how that's gonna be one more coffin for me to make. I half-expect her to cringe a bit.
My mother, usually very compassionate and disliker of needless violence, replied this: "a coffin? Are you kidding? Don't waste time with that moron, just incinerate him!"
I reminded her that was actually possible, thanks to magma. She giggled and approved the use of magma as a solution to mostly everything.
That was such unexpected dorfiness I am now morally obligated to speed up the magma garbage dump project and incinerate the next dumbass who manages to fall more than 1 z-level. :,)

LEAVE MY FORT ALONE!  I'M SERIOUS!!
