Mobile Clinic

Mobile Clinic
The Mobile Clinic in Sepang, (Malaysia), after the fatal accident of the italian rider Marco Simoncelli happened in 2011

The Mobile Clinic is a medical emergency, created by Dr. Claudio Costa to rescue the injured pilots during the motorcycle races. In 1976, on the initiative of Claudio Costa (doctor) and with the generous funding of Gino Amisano, founder and owner of the AGV was built the first vehicle specifically designed and equipped to carry out, directly on the competition, rapid medical intervention to injured riders. The mobile clinic begins on the race of the World Championship in Motorcycle Grand Prix of Austria, disputated on the circuit of Salzburg on May 1 in 1977. On that first occasion the disaster and organizational flaws put to a severe test the capacity of intervention of the medical facility. During the race for the Class 350, Patrick Fernandez, Franco Uncini, Hans Stadelmann, Dieter Braun and Johnny Cecotto were the protagonists of a terrible accident at the fast curve Fahrerlager. The relief, promptly intervened, were guilty of incomprehensible delayed intervention of police dogs on the track, which attacked and bit at the rescuers. Nevertheless, the doctors of the mobile clinic, battered and wounded, managed to bring relief to the riders to the ground. The intervention saved the life of Uncini. Unfortunately, Stadelmann had died on the spot and Braun ended his career because of a serious eye injury. The impediment to the relief caused by the inability of the security staff of the circuit caused a vehement protest to the organizers of the pilots who, according to the chronicles of the time, were not limited to verbal or written representations, emphasizing the concepts with some impromptu slap sound . From that day on the mobile clinic has become a veritable institution on the race of the motorcycle, operating thousands of interventions in each season and boasting a long series of bailouts.[1]
