How do we use Traction Bench? What does it do?

[Laurin]

It is needed in the hospital to immobilise a dwarf for treatment.

Specifically, it's needed for dwarves that get overlapping fractures - most broken bones can be treated (using a cast or splint) without needing traction.

lLike tables, Do they need to be next to beds ? Or is it more likely that my docs are too inexperienced, (60). it's been cleaned and diagnosed.

I've never gotten a "Urist McBoneguy cancels Traction: Patient not resting" error, but i'd build them next to beds just out of principle.

Like a row of beds with a space inbetween, traction benches between and tables out at the ends of each bed

Most of my Traction requests come from broken hands and fingers

I have gotten the "Cancels Traction: Patient not resting" error, so it's definitely possible under certain conditions.

However, I've gone several forts (dedicated to building a military, no less) without even needing the bench at all. Only in my latest fort did an injury warrant my very first construction of one.

I just use this layout to be on the safe side:

BTBTB
R+R+R
BTBTB(B = bed, T = table, R = Traction Bench, + = Floor (could be bed too))
