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 />

Doctors will begin treating injured or otherwise unhealthy dwarves only after diagnosis and when proper equipment is available. <br />
