　　Qiao Wuying introduced that compared with the rescue team, the medical transfer team has its own characteristics. The workplaces of other medical teams are fixed. The medical emergency transport team is both fixed and not fixed. The "fixed" lies in that the medical transport teams all work in the ambulance. "Unfixed" First, the location of diagnosis and treatment is not fixed, and the places and areas for consultation are very extensive, covering community centralized isolation points, shelter hospitals, nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals and more than 20 hospitals in Wuhan; Second, the patient’s condition is not fixed, which may be a patient who takes oxygen or a patient who is on a ventilator; Third, the location of the delivery is not fixed. Maybe this patient will be sent to different designated hospitals such as Raytheon Mountain or Vulcan Mountain, and he will be on duty 24 hours a day, and he will be on call for 45 days without rest. Fourth, the service of patients is not fixed, there are light and heavy patients and uncertain patients. Everything is unknown, and the medical transport team faces a lot of pressure and difficulties. Pushing a stretcher and holding rescue equipment. The space of the medical cabin is very narrow, so you may face the risk that the protective clothing will be hung up at any time when getting on and off the ambulance. Therefore, this team is not only a first-aid worker, but also a stretcher bearer, and also acts as a nurse, psychological counselor and other roles.
