So my chief medical dwarf wont diagnose my patients, he has diagnose enabled as a labor, the patient (one of them at least) is on a bed in the hospital. Also, how do i put someone in the hospital who is wounded?

He will eventually. For some reason, Toady set this really important job to be really low priority and they would rather do a 'Clean' job before a 'Diagnose Patient' when put in a burrow that has nothing but their resting patients in it.

Dwarves usually die of infections from lazy ass doctors in my fortress. You'll have to get over it.

He has no other job. he is doing absoulutely nothing. Do I have to tell hime who to diagnose?

no

by chance, does he have a personality trait of not liking to help people?

[AWdeV]

It may help to assign some extra people to diagnose, but they're all hideously lazy. The best you can do is keep a few people idle to feed and water the patient untill the treatment starts.

Wounded dwarves often manage it back to the hospital by themselves, but if they're unconcious in a field somewhere then it's also probable someone will go and pick them up and haul them to hospital. This seems to have a more acceptable priority level. The latter option creates a happy thought in the wounded dwarf and can cause a happy/unhappy thought in the rescuer.

Try assigning a different chief medical dwarf, exiting the nobles screen, and then assigning the right guy back--remind him of his duties, as such
