Deconstruct their bed.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Hi!

Whoa! Did you get this just once or twice, or does it come more often?

You see, this is a normal cancellation caused by the patient at that moment receiving food or water. The doctor will try again later and hopefully not encounter that problem.

But if it happens constantly, then something is amiss indeed.

I have only got this once.  The patient (my expedition leader who met a troll) had got up and gone for a drink.  The other dwarfs in need of medical care (wounds received while overpowering the troll) are all in the militia, and don't seem to have any desire to visit the hospital to be diagnosed.

The trouble is with wounds that heal before your lazy ass doc gets to them. They will then idefinetly try to surgery/suture them and never finish.

Welcome to Murdermachines. Try the gecko sauce; it's delectable and delightful, a wonderful blend of savory and spicy that makes any dish delicious without being too overwhelming.

Solution: More doctors than patients! Eliminate wait times.
