Summary0002919: Doctor stuck trying to treat caged patient, who dies of thirst
DescriptionFirst off, I'd like to apologize for the lack of certainty or detail in this report. This happened a few days ago before I knew this bug tracker existed.

One of my soldiers must have fractured a bone in combat and needed treatment. My chief medical dwarf, who was an inexperienced bone setter but I enabled the labor, took him down to one of the animal stockpiles and placed this hurt dwarf in a cage. The doctor proceeded to try and set the bone, but I had no plaster anywhere in my fortress and no progress was made. Eventually, the dwarf died of thirst, sitting in a cage in my butchering room with the doctor still standing over him.

 Generally, dwarves only get put in cages as a result of dwarven justice. Did you fail any mandates recently?

 The caged dwarf was a full-time soldier, which makes him pretty immune to failing mandates, and he did have wounds that needed treating. I did not see the doctor take the dwarf down to the cage, just him standing over it trying to apply a cast.

Also, I am fairly certain that I had a traction bench in my hospital, but it would make sense to cage the dwarf if a traction bench could not be found.

What makes you sure? 0001521 involved a soldier failing a mandate. Please check your z -> Justice screen and look through the soldier's combat logs to find out how he got the broken bone.

Also, I am fairly certain that I had a traction bench in my hospital, but it would make sense to cage the dwarf if a traction bench could not be found.

I don't think that would make sense at all, as cages don't immobilize, and in any event Toady has never mentioned using cages (or restraints) for medical purposes.

 I just had this happen again. I believe it is caused by a hurt dwarf setting off a cage trap, and was just complicated by the doctor trying to treat the hurt dwarf. Close the issue if possible.

 I'll close it for now, but if you or any other reporter encounters this issue with more to add, please reopen the report with your new findings.
