Doctors prioritize wounds illogically.

[Razul Antiwield]

Many times now I have had someone get stabbed, shot, dismembered, infected etc. but the doctors still treat wounds such as bruises and shredding first. Doctors need better prioritization as to what is the most important wound to treat. Sometimes this is an actual issue, too, as a patient might have a whole lot of bruising but also an untreated infection which needs to be treated ASAP or the patient will not be able to develop an immunity fast enough.

This seems like more of a suggestion

Yeah, it is. *Excuse about being tired here*

Seems logical enough that doctors should prioritise treating most serious wounds first. But then again, you can prevent most infections by cleaning all the blood in the room.

I haven't looked into the code, but I don't think there is any sort of prioritization and it just works through the list of injuries in a "top-down" manner (ie, first injury incurred is the first one healed).

Didn't know that. My colony is drenched in blood, and is causing all my colonists to go berserk every few minutes, but I have much more important things for them to do (like treating the wounds that they receive when they go berserk), so they never get around to it.

The Beauty of the spiral. My first case with this was in Sims 3, Had the guy marry a firefighter so he could clean his house and stop being depressed.

I'd make the same suggestion here.

If doctors prioritized most serious wounds first, it would be a boost to better (non-herbal) kinds of medicine. You could allow use of 2 glitterworld meds on a badly wounded colonist.

But how to prioritize ? Most HP lost ? Most severe bleeding ? Infections ? Usually bleeding is most important, I think.
