Ambulance <br /> Services are concentrated on emergency medical services (Race Doctor, Medical <br /> Motorcycle, Ambulances) as well as preventive medical issues (Medical Sag Vehicle). <br /> Athletes sometime receive treatment out of the Race Doctor's car for conditions such as <br /> bee stings, upset stomach or recurring injuries. This treatment is often accomplished"on <br /> the go" in the race caravan. <br /> In the case of a severe accident the Race Doctor works with the race EMS crews to <br /> provide treatment and/or arrange transport. <br /> Caravan Medical units also coordinate with local EMS jurisdictions to provide additional <br /> support and response. <br /> Start/Finish Line Medical <br /> Based at race finish,these staff members provide immediate care to athletes and staff <br /> before, during and after the race finish. Examples of treatments include: athlete <br /> hydration, wound care, follow up on previous treatment. <br /> The staff at the finish line will often treat injuries that athletes received during the race <br /> but were not severe to cause the athlete to drop out. Examples include "road rash" from <br /> crashes or exposure to extreme weather conditions. <br /> The finish line medical staff will send more serious cases to the medical suite after initial <br /> treatment. <br /> Staffing <br /> Number of Physicians <br /> Minimum two physicians.
