 Which file am i supposed to post? World.sav?

Edit: after unretiring the fort, the injured dwarf wasn't in the hospital anymore, but a FB I had walled in the caverns ended up in the middle of my fortress.

If the dwarf who underwent diagnosis several times is still in the fortress, it should be visible in his medical history tab.

I've got what I think is the same problem.
A dwarf in need of councelling went if front of a train and got injured and hauled to the hospital. As per usual, the doctors decided to eat, drink, not performing any job at all, and harvest (which is otherwise only rarely done by adults) before starting to treat the patient, who got infected. They started treatment, with frequent breaks, by diagnosing, cleaning, setting, and putting in traction (I think there was another Diagnosis in there as well, and I may have missed some treatment steps). Eventually the patient was treated and immobilized, with no Diagnosis requirement, but a bit later the Diagnosis requirement showed up again (when due to be released from traction, but not relesed due to infection?). The patient has been under Diagnosis since well before the beginning of the month, and the doctor's diagnosis skill has risen considerably, but it never ends. Now, the mayor is idle waiting for the patient to actually come to the councelling meeting, and the liason is waiting for that to end... I was able to break the waiting to trade with the caravan, though (the trader happened to be elected mayor).

Save uploaded to http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=10067.

I'm using PyLNP with DF Announcement Filter 1.1, DwarfTherapist, and DFHack Pure Bugfixes+Performance Tweaks. The DF version is 0.40.15, as PyLNP hasn't quite caught up.

Additional info: The accident victim has finally recovered and left the hospital (15 opal), but one of the doctors has become Master diagonstician, while the other is Legendary+5. The dwarf is no longer marked as needing diagnostics on the Health screen.

 I have the same problem. The save is above, but that was when the problem was way smaller. The injured soldier is now in traction and has been diagnosed by the same dwarf OVER FOUR THOUSAND TIMES. All those diagnosings have been done by the SAME DWARF who is now LEGENDARY +18 DIAGNOSER. Could someone please increase the priority? This is not only a massive pain in the ass, but it also clutters up the history list, and possibly consumes large amounts of disk space when done for a long time, even though the flags for the history are small. The diagnoser did each evaluation at a rate of 3 JOBS PER SECOND. I also disabled the diagnosing labor on him. The "diagnosis request" status is NOT GOING AWAY.

That's a great way to train diagnosticians, but it just occupies the jobs needed for REAL treatments. Please increase the priority.

(Sorry for the caps everywhere, but I just noticed how severe this problem is in my case and I am quite pissed. If you need the updated save, please ask.)

Edit: The affected dwarf is now fully healed, but still has an infection on two body parts, and still has a "Diagnosis required" tag in his treatment tab.

Looking at Patrick Lundell's save, i can confirm that the tractioned dwarf was clearly getting over-diagnosed. While constant re-evaluation was always the norm while in traction (presumably to see if the patient is ready for release), six to fifteen diagnoses in a single day feel off.

I'm not too sure about the severity: while one tractioned (infected?) dwarf can occupy a diagnoser full-time, it probably shouldn't disrupt other healthcare efforts too badly if you have more than one diagnoser.

I can confirm that this still exists in .40.21. The chief medical dwarf diagnoses a dwarf in traction, starts to walk away, takes one step, and then turns back to diagnose the dwarf again.
I have a save, if another one is needed. I would have uploaded it already, but DFFD is giving me 503 errors.

 I also had this in a 42.03 save game with a traction bench.

Notes etc need updating so it reflects that it *can* be reproduced, and that it affects the current version.

When googling to find this report again, I turned up this: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=4350

In that report, Toady claims that a diagnosis is required to get a dwarf out of traction once a compound fracture heals, but he "might reduce the frequency." So many diagnoses of an immobilized dwarf, such as what I have in my save, is expected.

For now I'm going to take advantage of my traction victim and train up diagnosis on multiple dwarves.

Can confirm on 0.42.04 -- dwarves in traction still get diagnosed like 20 times a day. My doctor walks back and forth to the hospital and does little else.

It seems, though I'm not 100% sure of this, that the cause of this may be when the diagnosis job is picked up by someone other than the chief medical dwarf. I observed in a recent fort that a injured dwarf was being repeatedly diagnosed by one of my two medidwarves, until he went on break. Then he was diagnosed by the chief medical dwarf, and that diagnosis worked.

reporter   ~0034827

Button, I just got my first dwarf in traction and the chief medical dwarf keeps diagnosing him, so that is not the cause. So far it's only 6 diagnoses, but he keeps walking away and turning back to diagnose again so it looks like he is going to be pretty good at diagnosing very soon at this rate.

reporter   ~0034840

Same thing here. When it started I did not yet have more than one dwarf with diagnosis enabled, so it's not that. It either has to do with being in traction, or with needing a crutch, or a combination of both. It happened to me before, I think in DF2014, and now it happens in 42.06 (world generated in 42.05).
Here's a save. Look for the hospital on zoom F4, or find a dwarf named Agate in the unit list.

43.03 : Got myself a goblin noble (for some reason...) in the traction bench and went over 2-3 months of being diagnosed without anything to happen.

Removed all my benches he left to eat/drink nothing else was being taking care of. (sutures/clean)

Constructed the benches back, the same thing rehappened with the same goblin. Diagnose looping in the traction bench.

Game loads on Z with the hospital

Doctor is checking multiple times a day, can only walk away at most 6 steps before he is called back to diagnose again.

I can confirm as of 43.03 as well that this glitch is still active, but I have a workaround. If deconstruct the traction benches underneath the dwarf needing diagnosis, the job will eventually get done.

While I have no evidence that dwarves have preferred sleeping positions (back, side, etc.) with the level of detail this game goes into, why wouldn't they? I thought, what if the dwarf is laying on the side/body part that needs to be diagnosed and can't be moved because they are immobile? In this case, the diagnoser comes to the dwarf with the diagnosis request, views the parts of the dwarf visible to the diagnoser, sees nothing wrong, completes a diagnosis and leaves. The injured dwarf then generates another diagnosis request since the problem was not actually diagnosed, bringing back the diagnoser. The problematic diagnoses seem to be in specific areas (for me it was left true ribs, left hip, left upper leg) that get fixed together when moving. The ribs were taken care of after the first deconstruct, the hip and leg after the second.

 I can confirm the bug still exists. Using a claystone traction bench.
Deconstructing the traction bench doesn't seem to help, the dwarf hauls himself to a bed and then just sits there and doesn't get diagnosed at all.

Oh, and there's the occasional "Clean" in the middle of diagnosing in the treatment history.

 Present in 0.44.04 - same as Paralyzoid says. Dwarf stuck in traction bench with no medical care planned (just evaluation spam, hundreds of it), and when deconstructing bench he goes to a bed to do nothing.

 New dwarf ended up in traction bench - diagnose spam started again. Also just like Paralyzoid says, there will be a random "Clean" job with soap, but then the diagnose spam continues.

Here's the save, this time in 0.44.05: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13473

Edit: Right after I loaded back ingame, the dwarf healed. Either really bad save timing on my part or the save+load somehow did it.

0.44.05. In my case the elven citizen finally ended up in a traction bench with 4 infections and was subjected to constant diagnose jobs for 2-4 months, after which he finally got up from the traction bench (still infected, of course).
I'm not sure if my playing with military squads had some effect, as I put his squad on training for a month, tried to replace the squad training with another one, but ended up retaining his squad on training. After unpausing he got up. I suspect it's rather a matter of recuperation, so eventually they may heal and get up, cutting the "intense training session" off.

I've got a save where the diagnosis repeat is ongoing, shortly after putting the victim in the traction bench, if that's of interest. Unfortunately, it weight in at just short of 500 MB (zipped, just the region folder), which is above the DFFD limit.

I've fixed the traction version of this for 47.03. There are several other ways diagnosis begins, so I'm hesitant to mark it off. There could still be a crutch-only case, though the only versions I could find of that were also related to traction.

Posted by anonymous:

I am having this problem in 50.11. I run the Linux steam client, no mods or DF hack except a sprite mod and a music mod.

Problem goes like this: Dwarf gets diagnosis, dwarf needs bone setting, bone setting fails silently, dwarf needs diagnosis, repeat.

Here's my save file:

https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=16902

This is what I wrote on my file upload:

This is a fortress with a dwarf named Injured Forever, who requires some sort of treatment. This dwarf keeps needing diagnosis. She receives diagnosis successfully, but treatment is never completed. A bone doctor tries to set her injury, but it seems to fail. Then she is re-diagnosed, and the process repeats.

I have deleted and recreated the hospital in a slightly different location to try to see if the bug would fix itself, no luck. The hospital should have all necessary doctors and supplies to treat this dwarf. Other dwarves have been treated in this fortress without issue.

Version info:

    v50.11 Steam
    Linux Client (Debian 12 Stable, Bookworm)
    Two (irrelevant) workshop mods are installed, one that changes the Unicorn sprite and one that adds game music, otherwise the game is vanilla.
