medical treatment?
« on: June 30, 2011, 03:52:17 am »

I've fallen off cliffs, been beaten by bandits, and mauled by bogeymen.  But my adventurer has become a great swordmaster in the process so I am lothe to let him simply retire.  He has several smashed fingers, multiple infections, a broken nose, and a punctured lung.  Obviously I need to get him to a doctor. . . but how?

Ya can't. But I've had adventurers who were simply... broken and they were still successful. If the adventurer has a working heart, lungs and isn't bleeding out he should heal in time. The infections could be a problem however.

Everything else has fixed itself with travel time. . . .but the infections are still there. . . .maybe if I go for a swim in a river it'll clean it out. . . .

More likely you'll start to rot. I've gotta test if infections are contagious, and if they are I'll get an infection and throw pus at people!!!

Even if you will see a creature with the doctor profession , it won't be able to help you , not yet , maybe in a future version you will have the ability to cure yourself , like a adventurer medic...

you can get a appointment with doctor badger or doctor bandit

EDIT just so you both are only interns and aren't very skilled so you might lose a leg finger and the face

they might burst into flames and freeze to death.
you guys could just plop your adventurer on to a fort with a working hospital and get that infection work on.
Though this means retiring, placing a fort nearby, trek over and retire in the fort, or if lucky flip over to fort mode and remove the is resident tag on the doctors and hope the adventurer will be operated long before they die from the wound.

I've been hoping to get fixed up by a doctor in town, but I couldn't. I was mad. I had been smashed by a war hammer, shot multiple times with a (cross)bow, whipped by a whip, hacked on with an axe, and slashed and poked with a sword. I managed to limp my way back to a town in hopes of finding a doctor, and when I talked to one about his profession, he said "I am a doctor". Nothing else.

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.

Where are the infections? Your best bet might be to retire your adventurer and have another one bite off the infected bits.
