This looks like as good a page as any for this question - what the hell do I have to do to get my dwarves to actually recover a wounded dwarf? I had one dwarf take that job after like a week of the poor guy laying there, but canceled it to sleep when he was 3/4 of the way there. Another week has gone by and still no one has gone out to get him. I've got dwarves sitting around doing nothing with no job but health care active. I even drafted a dwarf, stationed him out there, then undrafted him while right next to the wounded dwarf - he just wandered away with *no job* all the way back to the meeting hall.

This may be a foolish question (especially since you've mentioned someone tried and then headed off to sleep), but do they have somewhere to take him? (As in, is there a free bed somewhere?)
If there is, there may be a problem if the bed is within a room's zone. According to this page, beds not in any defined room are "hospital beds"... You could try building a couple of beds and not designating a room, or maybe designating a bedroom for the poor unfortunate? Emmanovi 18:48, 8 December 2008 (EST)
I've had real problems getting "recover wounded" jobs taken in a timely manner too. The only thing I can think of is that maybe another dwarf has already taken the job... but I think sometimes they just flat out don't do the deed for reasons I can't fathom.--Maximus 23:17, 8 December 2008 (EST)
