::Other dwarves with the Diagnose labor enabled can diagnose successfully.  I usually have several dwarves with diagnosis enabled, and as my Chief Medical Dwarf also has the other doctoring labors enabled, the Chief is rarely the one actually doing the diagnosis and instead is typically performing treatment on someone.  I've actually been kinda curious where the "only the chief medical dwarf can diagnose" idea came from, as it's all over the healthcare page and the forums, but completely counter to my own experience. --

:::I can confirm other dwarves can diagnose. The chief medical dwarf however gives more detailed health screen information if his skill is higher. A novice will tell you who has broken tissue or is starving/dehydrated, for instance, but one with a higher skill level will even tell you if a dwarf is feeling peckish (chef medical dwarf?).

::: I think speed is the major factor with the skill level. I can confirm too that the chief doesn't have to be the one to diagnose; I have one that's fairly useless, and the other doctors get the job done. In fact, they've all been useless, and I hesitate to promote the one ace doctor who handles it all while everyone else is standing around picking their asses because he may become useless, too.
