Do they have wounds requiring medical attention, or just old injuries?

They require immidiate attention by a doctor. They poor dwarf with no legs arrived on the map unconscious. Then he had to be transported to the hospital by the dwarfs, where he got diagnosed by a doc and given a crutch.

 (50.12) I just got a visitor, not a migrant, who had lost a foot. There didn't seem to be an open wound or any blood, but the human had the status "seriously injured" and "diagnosis required" (and "crutch required"). Still arrived with no crutch and no crutch skill, and clothes for the missing foot fell to the ground.

The point made by the duplicate 0005655 about being treated as fresh also applies to thoughts; this human "felt hopeless after suffering a major injury" as though she had just received it. (She was also "content after putting on a well-crafted item" that she had presumably donned quite some time ago.) I would expect these thoughts to be so old as to be forgotten.

I get that treating the injury as fresh allows the person to receive a crutch from the hospital (if nothing goes wrong), but it would be better to have one already if they need it, along with skill in its use. It would be more realistic, and not consume fort effort and resources.
