City commuting times and Medical consultation times

Medi-Pod in the City

Medi-Pod is a mobile medical apparatus or facility for medical procedures. My first perception of this concept was that these Medi-Pods were "Docked" at Public transport nodes/centres such as train stations. There mobility was only required for emergences or month to month redistribution in response to demand. I questioned this premise while commuting to work, we waste a lot of time commuting, in Sydney, for example, the average worker spends more time commuting then on holidays each year.
Therefore I had to ask the question, could this Medi-Pod provide a service for commuters, the biggest challenge would be time constraints.

From the data below, it is possible to provide quite a few services "on the go", however there is still a requirement to have a docked Medi-Pod for longer and more complicated consultations and procedures. And therefore at two part system will be proposed: Docked Medi-Pod and the Commuting Medi-Pod
