v0.31:Health screen
In the status menu (accessed using the z-status key), one of the sub-menus is Health. This sub-menu becomes available when a dwarf is appointed to the Template:L position.
The z-health menu is used to monitor the health of friendly dwarves. A subject dwarf's status effects and injuries are cataloged in the health menu by Template:L upon diagnosis. Doctors will begin treating injured or otherwise unhealthy dwarves only after diagnosis and when proper equipment is available.
