Editing v0.34:Health screen

{{quality|Exceptional|23:31, 17 April 2011 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
In the status menu (accessed using the {{k|z}}-status key), one of the sub-menus is '''Health'''. This sub-menu becomes available when a dwarf is appointed to the [[Chief medical dwarf]] position. <br />
The z-health menu is used to monitor the health of friendly dwarves and livestock. A subject's status effects and injuries are cataloged in the health menu by [[Healthcare|hospital staff]] upon diagnosis. Some basic needs are automatically shown in the menu whenever a patient becomes hungry, thirsty, or tired. Doctors will begin treating injured or otherwise unhealthy patients only after diagnosis and when proper equipment is available. <br />
<sub>Note: The screen is entirely mouse enabled.</sub> <br />

Listed below are all of the conditions displayed in the z-health screen:

=== Mouse controls ===

This screen is (usually) controllable with a mouse (if it doesn't work in windowed mode, try resizing the window).

* To select a patient, click on their name or row in the chart
* To select a key page, click on the key numbers (below the chart on the left side) to move to the left, or right-click to move to the right
* The options at the bottom of the screen are also clickable, although {{k|r}}ecentering requires the keyboard to return to the health screen
* A patient's individual health screen ({{k|Enter}}) is also mouse-enabled (even the tabs, although clicking the green {{DFtext|46|2:1}} uses right/left-clicking to cycle through the tabs
* There is currently no way to scroll pages (vertically) in the main health screen with the mouse.
