Hey, I'm a pretty new player, I was wondering if it's possible to tell the dwarves to diagnose a dwarf. Is this possible, and if so how would I do it?

[Darkmere]

On the [ N ] obles screen, select a chief medical dwarf (preferably with high diagnosis skill) and remove all other labors. As soon as an injured dwarf is dragged somewhere your chief of medicine should show up and prod him with a stick until the problem is determined.

Having a hospital zone helps speed things along by having materials readily available in a single location.

Also it would help if your medical staff were more than just the chief, as many diagnoses must be made over the course of treatment, and diagnose, treat, diagnose, treat, diagnose, treat.. all on one dwarf is time-consuming.

I've got all that, but I've got a dwarf who's just loitering around and generating alerts because he can't grab hold of things due to nerve damage. The doctors refuse to see him, I was wondering if I could tell them to.

[Marthnn]

Nerve damage is permanent anyway, the doctors probably don't diagnose anything because it would be useless.

Consider removing labors from the wounded dwarf.

[Taneb]

Ah, thanks.

In 31.25 I burrowed Chief Medical Dwarf in hospital, and got "cannot store item in a bin: unreacvhable destination" spam. Temporarliy disabling hauling worked, tough. I chose a Dwarf with high empathy after all.

Another problem, I run into was that a lvl 10 bone doctor and wound dresser was hospitalized, and my CMD with 1 in wound dressing wouldn't dress his wounds. Disabling wound dressing on wounded dwarf seemed to work, tough.

I have a wounded Dwarf with spine injury, who was healed, but walks very slowly. I checked his equipment, and he wasn't even assigned crutches. Oh well, I suppose, I'll just let him be.

Overall my hospital seems to work okayish. Dwarves even sometimes carry surplus cloth and thread from hospital to stockpiles, after some of it was used on a patient.

I had one of them once.

I starved him to death for being different.

Was there need for that? I mean, if he couldn't grab things he would be unable to feed himself? Or were other dwarves feeding him?

[Taneb]

Is there any way to at least stop the alerts?

a magma chamber burrow works quite nicely. Just try not to stop alerts from too many dwarves in a short time or your other dwarves may begin generating unwanted alerts as well.

I actually locked him in his room because he was causing job cancellation spam. I don't think I left him long enough to see if he could get food on his own.

Anyway, 'need' is a dirty word on this forum.
