Like the title says, I am unsure whether or not this is a bug, but it is actually quite annoying.
If I have an available Hospital bed, a colonist that is going to receive a Prosthetic immediately goes to one to rest and wait for the operation, but no matter what I do, no Doctor goes to operate or provide the Anesthetic.
Only after I de-select all the free Hospital beds to normal ones, and have the colonist wait on a Medical bed, they finally get operated on. The same thing happens with prisoners I believe, since I was forced to do the same thing in order to harvest some organs or to install a peg leg.
The weird thing is that they provide medical care to colonists that are injured and waiting on H.Beds, but limb replacements and operations seem to be restrictive to have the colonist wait on either medical or normal beds.

As you can see in the picture, I had to mess with the other beds in order to get Ida to wait in that specific one.
I was having the same problem. I had beds with potted plants next to them.
Then I thought - "I wonder?" - and I removed the potted plants by the medical beds.
And bam, organ transplant is a go!
Apparently, the doctor stands by the head of the bed to do the transplant.
not sure if this is a bug or intentional but,
you have to have the top(pillow side) open to preform surgery
you can feed/give medicine with only the bottom tho
nice to know im not the only one who thought potted plants look nice at the top of medical beds
