Summary	0004782: Reasonably healthy dwarf stuck "in traction" for impossibly long time
Description	Poor Udib Akrulfath has the following medical stats: Status: In Traction, Thirsty Wounds: right foot, skin right foot, fat --- right foot, skin right foot, fat Has been sutured (Note the duplicate... relevant?) Treatment: no treatment scheduled History: 26th Felsite, 12: Brought to rest in Bed 19th Hematite, 12: Evaluated 19th Hematite, 12: Cleaned with sheep soap 20st Hematite, 12: Evaluated 21nd Hematite, 12: Received pig tail fiber sutures on left elbow 16th Malachite, 12: Evaluated 17th Malachite, 12: Cleaned with goose soap 18th Malachite, 12: Received pig tail fiber sutures on right foot 21nd Malachite, 12: Evaluated 23th Malachite, 12: Cleaned with cougar soap 9th Galena, 12: Evaluated 11th Galena, 12: Received pig tail fiber sutures on right lower arm 13th Galena, 12: Evaluated 14th Galena, 12: Cleaned with horse soap 16th Galena, 12: Received llama wool dressing on left elbow 18th Galena, 12: Evaluated 20st Galena, 12: Received llama wool dressing on left lower arm 23th Galena, 12: Evaluated 25th Galena, 12: Received llama wool dressing on right foot 11th Limestone, 12: Evaluated 11th Limestone, 12: Cleaned with horse soap 12th Limestone, 12: Evaluated 14th Limestone, 12: Received rope reed fiber dressing on right lower arm 15th Limestone, 12: Evaluated 15th Limestone, 12: Placed in traction in Traction Bench <--- ! 16th Limestone, 12: Evaluated 18th Limestone, 12: Received gypsum plaster right foot cast 19th Limestone, 12: Evaluated 21nd Limestone, 12: Received gypsum plaster left lower arm cast 23th Limestone, 12: Received gypsum plaster right lower arm cast It is currently 13th Obsidian, 13. I'm aware of the dating bug, but haven't heard of it applying to the month or year. But even if it does (i.e. Udib was actually placed in traction on 16th Sandstone, 13), then he's been in traction for 4 months with (as far as I can tell) just a slightly banged-up foot (not even any broken bones). If not, then it's been over a year (yeah, I could definitely lose track of a dwarf for that long... sigh). Surely if there were a reason for this extended stay, he would at least have been evaluated again in the mean time?
Steps To Reproduce	Injure a dwarf twice in the same extremity and get unlucky... ? Or maybe there's something preventing casts from being removed? There is no cast in his inventory, though.
Additional Information	Udib heals at an average rate (no mention of the stat in his "thoughts and preferences"). There doesn't seem to ever have been anything wrong with his legs or upper arms, so I'm not really sure why traction was necessary in the first place. I assume the fact that he's currently waiting for someone to bring water isn't really important, as that would have happened a few times already in the past few months.
