There's something like this in the bloats (I think it's prosthetic limbs), but I'm always annoyed when my dorfs sit in bed for months, and this could even let people with spinal injuries be marginally useful. I propose the ability to construct a wheelchair at certain workshops (forge/carpenter's?), using wood/metal and a few mechanisms. It works, essentially, like a chain. You can assign dwarves to it, you can build it somewhere (though it can then be moved once occupied), and it is stored with furniture. Once a dwarf is moved into a wheelchair, he would be able to perform whatever seems reasonable - perhaps hauling tasks, maybe workshop stuff.

I think wheelchairs are a tad too futuristic for this game... but then again, these are dwarves we're talking about. Personally, I would prefer crutches to give to our wounded. Seems much more fitting to me.

anything to keep dwarfs with a bruised wrist from dying of dehydration

I would prefer some kind of alcohol IV, you can't have too much blood in your alcohol stream, that's just plain unhealthy.

Or some kind of dwarven Darth Vader life support suit that stops working if it's damaged too badly.

I like the crutch idea.  Also basic prosthetics- The cyberfist can wait for the future, but peg legs and hooks would be cool.
I bet they'd be a bitch to implement, though.

Wheelchairs have been around since the middle ages. Also, some Romans let themselves be pushed around in 'em.

Actually, I have suggested a doctor job, which can both heal dwarves and create crutches, casts, slings, etc to help dwarves heal faster and not be as hindered by their wounds.
