Editing v0.31:Health screen

{{quality|Exceptional|23:31, 17 April 2011 (UTC)}}

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. A subject dwarf'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 dwarf becomes hungry, thirsty, or tired. Doctors will begin treating injured or otherwise unhealthy dwarves only after diagnosis and when proper equipment is available. <br />
