When the rescue sets came out several month ago I was quite happy that PM mordernized this theme pretty well. I also welcomed the fact, that they created an organization-independent health care logo (not referring to the Rotes Kreuz/Red Cross, the Johanniter Unfallhilfe, or Arbeiter-Samariter, just to mention a few well-known ones from Germany). Nevertheless there was a point that disturbs me a little bit: the fixed imprints "Rescue" and "Ambulance" -- I would have liked better either no text at all or even better -- like in the firefighter theme -- some stickers (in this case transparent with white) to localize your team according to your country.
But anyway, most times in the past the same statement might be raised from people living in other countries than Germany, when PM just focused on "German aspects" or in some rare cases just on the generalized "international" market, i.e. offering e.g. the police theme with "Police" imprints. So this time I have to adapt it (back) to my location
The rescue imprints have been removed from the jackets with high-grade steel polishing paste and instead I added some decals with the text "Emergency Doctor" (a male and female variant) and "Baby Doctor" (all in German), like it is quite common in Germany. Also the ambulance men would have such an imprint on their back, but unfortunately I forgot to order this text at my decals provider, so I have to wait and add this with my next order
).
I also introduced a "dress code": the ambulance men wear white clothes (trousers, shirts) and an orange jacket. The doctors wear orange trousers, white shirts and an orange vest. Females get the same vest/jacket than their male counterparts, but for them I have to "adapt" the piece a little bit with the hot airgun because of their little anatomical differencies
Males are wearing T-shirts, the femaly doctors a white blouse (from the
4623 Pediatrician special) and the ambulance women a blouse which has been made from the
3206 laundry room set (by removing unnecessary imprints).
I noticed that although the rescue equipment in general is quite varied, the different units -- emergency car, ambulance, and helicopter -- are exquiped slightly different. Especially at the helicopter I was a little bit disappointed about the nearly completely missing tools and accessories for treatment of injured klickies. So I equiped each unit with the union of all available pieces: the silver suitcase with drugs, the white suitcase with the dressing material, the oxygene cylinder, the drip tube with hand adapter and mask, the blue and red infusion bottle, and finally the mobile "medical apparatus" (not required for ambulance car). Additionally each unit got a metal box from the forrest theme house (animal "shelter") with some surgical instruments, a salve tube and a stethoscope.
The photos below are showing the figures only with the additional equipment which is not already provided by their standard vehicle (car, ambulance, or helicopter). The vehicles are not adapted so far (according to their imprints), but will also be presented when happened.
