Document 72 Hours - Season 4 Episode 9 The Endless Battle for Nighttime Emergency Medical Services
Saitama Prefecture has recently experienced another fatal case due to a case of “tarai” (a kind of “double death”). An emergency clinic specializing in weekend and nighttime care was established in Kawagoe. Volunteer doctors and nurses gathered to improve the current state of medical care. Emergency patients who were refused by other medical facilities are brought in one after another. The film was shot during a major holiday weekend in May. For the patients, there was no other place they could turn to. The staff takes turns taking breaks and tries to hold on through the stormy days. The reality of medical care is a conflict between a sense of mission and a breaking point.
