The Smell of Death & Healthcare Issues.

The legendary monster from the depths left behind a "surprise". It's poison slowly infects & kills dwarfs. Due to a dwarfs tenancy to lay in their own filth chief medical dwarf Mosus Onshenustuth has had a hard time dealing with the infections. Soon the smell of rotting flesh filled the halls of DaggerBell. The stink was horrible. It hung everywhere, the infected dwarves would stagger around leaving a vapor that smelled of death in their wake. Rumors of forced baths floated around & finally the manager, Morul Lolorlogem, commissioned the construction of a Soap Maker. Some new immigrants mentioned this "Soap" thing that helped keep down infection & a couple knew how to make it. Apparently it amounted to rubbing fat all over ones self.

Work was quickly done to get this Soap in use. Some spare animals were killed & their fat was processed with Ash from the Wood Burner's. Doctor Mosus started cleaning all his patients with it. But the layout of the hospital was causing problems. Patients were being disturbed while being transported from their beds to the surgery table. Something about Doc Mosus's cold demeanor appeared to scare them, so they'd wake up & stop resting. The hospital was redesigned so the ol' Doc could surprise ambush the resting dwarves & get them onto his table. Also, the Doc was a bit overwhelmed. So a couple of haulers were assigned his personal Nurses to help him out.
