I would LOVE to see some kind of doctor or medical job at some point.

Currently, a broken arm limits a dwarf tot he bed because they need to rest. What about a splint?

A mangled body is also cured by resting.

What about a doctor that can use cloth and wood to make splints, cloth to make bandages, and needs a "workshop" to do this stuff in, like making medical supplies?

I find it extremely annoying that if someone gets hurt, they are useless for a long while.
Some sort of simple medical guy would be sweet.

Of course, he wouldn't cure or heal anything instantly, only speed up the process, and keep dwarves from being bed ridden.

Crutches, bandages, splints, and the like he could create from his medical workshop.


Thoughts?

[Healthcare Update Thread] Personally, I can't wait for doctors to get possessed and start surgically attaching axes to champion soldier's arms.
