Well our story starts off with me not paying attention to what my dwarves are doing and suddenly having a badly injured farmer.

We drag his unconscious body to a bed and leave him to rest, no problem, right?

Well, he decides that as soon as his external wounds are gone, that he's good to go again and hops out of bed to go back to the fields. If he can't see any injuries then he must not be injured, right?

Well the fool still has a SEVERELY INJURED LUNG! One might think that the constant breathing issues associated with such an injury and the spontaneous passing out might tip him off that he needs to crawl back into bed for a while longer, but no.

His spine is still a little injured as well, but I don't think spine injuries go away

My question is will his lung ever heal now that he's decided to stop resting?

[Tradanbattlan]

I dont think internal organs heal.

[milaga]

I don't think so. I had a soldier get a mangled lung from an arrow hit ... she never went to bed to rest, she's just constantly winded. She's been that way for about seven years now.

[Tradanbattlan]

Yeah, now that I think about it, I've had a Ranger with a broken arm which never healed and a mangled leg which also never healed.
So I dumped lava into the room he was in.

[Grendus]

Internal organs heal at the same rate as limbs according to the wiki. Severe wounds like that just take a while. The only wounds that won't heal are spinal wounds or when a limb is severed or completely destroyed.

PS: Tradan, you wasted a perfectly good ranger. Not that they're particularly valuable, but broken and mangled limbs do eventually heal.

[Rashilul]

They would have if you had waited ten years

It could be worse. I had a champion with a missing eye, moderate brain damage, and a broken head from an arrow hit.
I thought he was a goner, but he was dragged to bed.
A while later, he woke up and pottered around, still sans an eye. So I named him 'Blinky', changed his rank to 'wounded champion', and left it at that. High master axedwarf isn't so bad to stick on, after all.

Did you check to see if there were any stuckins? Those prevent the wound from healing, or at least slow it way down.

[Porpoisepower]

you can try disabling the room they own... wounds heal much faster in a hospital/barracks than bedroom. 

[Tradanbattlan]

One Ranger isnt too bad, because I just got a wave of migrants with 2 Rangers in it. And yes, he did have a few stuckins that he never pulled out.
You know, being unconsious all the time and all.

[Slogo]

Trappers are nice if you have a magma vent and sand for vials. Otherwise they make good markdwarves.

If you mark stuck arrows and bolts for dumping someone else will come along and remove them.

[Tradanbattlan]

Hey- uh. I know you are unconcious and all, but...
*rrrrrrriiiiiip*
No offense, you know.


Urist McDerp, Ranger has bled to death.

Internal organs heal at the same rate as limbs according to the wiki.

Brains are internal and don't have a [NERVOUS] tag, but injuries there are forever.

Has anybody ever had a dwarf heal a lung? If not, it seems that 'organ function' tags beyond [THOUGHT] can prevent healing.

I had a dwarf guardsman called something Okilzas. He was retired as head of the guard, but still stayed around as a normal guard. he shoots further, more accurately, and with more damage than any other dwar, runs faster and has taken more hits than any other dwarf but he just won't go down. He is as a GOD
