You all know "Doctor Helicopter"!He became famous through the drama "Code Blue".Then, how about "Doctor Car"? "Doctor's car"...?It may be a lot of people who don't come with a lot of pins.
A doctor car is a vehicle that carries a medical team.The goal is to provide medical care to the injured as soon as possible.Among the injured and sick, there are those who compete for treatment every minute and seconds, and the difference in treatment results in different treatment effects, and their lives are greatly affected.Some people suddenly become ill in the ambulance on their way from the ambulance to the hospital.In a major traffic accident, it takes time to rescue people from the scene of the accident, and it is not possible to get on an ambulance immediately.In such a situation, a doctor car is a special vehicle that provides medical care before arriving at the hospital.Although it has a red light, it looks just like a normal passenger car.
Our doctor's car has one doctor and one nurse, loaded with medical equipment for the doctor's car, and is driven by a dedicated driver.In ambulances on the way to hospitals, in some cases, doctor cars are dispatched to the site of the occurrence of the injured and sick, and medical care is provided by doctors and nurses.
The meeting of the ambulance and doctor car on the way to the hospital is called "docking".In order for the ambulance and doctor's car to dock safely, we have chosen a location that is reasonably large and easy to find each other, such as a convenience store, a supermarket parking lot, or a gas station.Unlike the doctor helicopter, the doctor car is running in a familiar place.When it is not dispatched, it stops at the rotary in front of the entrance of the hospital, so please take a look.
*Our hospital has been operating a doctor car system since December 2009, 12.
Doctor car cooperation shop
The greatest feature of a doctor car that can rush to a patient as quickly as one minute and one second is its mobility.It is no exaggeration to say that convenience stores, supermarkets, gas stations, restaurants, etc., which cooperate as docking points for ambulances, support this mobility.
Therefore, we are promoting activities to issue registration certificates to cooperating stores in Tsukuba City and post stickers at the entrance.The purpose is to let citizens who have never seen a doctor car know about this mechanism.
If you see a doctor's car or an ambulance on the move, please give way.Thank you for your cooperation.

Bits of knowledge (about medical expenses...)
When doctors and nurses are dispatched in a doctor's car and provide medical care at the site or in an ambulance, expenses such as consultation fees, examination/treatment fees, and home visit fees will be incurred.These are covered by health insurance as medical expenses, so you will be asked to pay a portion of the costs according to the insurance coverage ratio of the patient.
