    Still ready to treat patients 35 years later!

    Written by (Parent , bronze-rated reviewer) in United States,

    I recently pulled this set out to play with my own children after 35 years. I remember really liking this set when I received it as a child. The pieces are surprisingly robust, and it was easy to put together even though no one had played with it in 30 years. Some of the white bricks have yellowed a bit more than others. However, surprisingly, even the stickers on the windows are still perfectly intact. This set is very fun both to look at and to play with. The building has two floors with two rooms on the ground floor and one room on the upper floor. It has many cool details. There are two stretchers which have legs with (non-rolling) wheels that fold up so it can go in the back of the ambulance and then fold down when the stretcher is pulled out and rolled into the treatment bay. The treatment bay has a cool arm that swings out with a green lamp to illuminate the patient. There is a computer and an oxygen tank (although this is the same double tank as for the space or scuba sets and thus doesn't look too much like the typical single tanks in health care settings, yes I became a doctor years after first playing with this set). The really dated part of the set is the style of telephone, although hospitals still have landlines. I also switched the hair before I gave it to my kid so that the woman with brown hair is the doctor. I like the road baseplate as the ambulance is well balanced and rolls very nicely on the drive. It's also big enough that the hospital could be expanded with additional pieces from other sets. The ambulance top opens up to get the driver in and out and the back opens up to get the patient in and out. There is also a cool little yellow mailbox that I like to think is a box for submitting lab send outs. The patients and family waiting room appears to be in the front lawn, but given the nice spring weather, that likely suits. We used some pieces from another set to put a bed and dresser in the upstairs room at the hospital so it is possible to be an inpatient. When I looked in the set today I saw that the princess from our 1990 castle set was an inpatient at the treatment centre and one of the knights was on the stretcher in the treatment bay being examined by the doctor and nurse.

    Emergency Treatment Center Review

    Written by (AFOL , rhodium-rated reviewer) in United States,

    I remember getting this for a birthday from my Aunt, same birthday that I got the Pirates' Forbidden Island set. It was unexpected to get two "large" sets like that for a birthday. Usually something like that happened when Christmas came.

    And wow, like Lego Banks, Lego Hospitals are fairly rare and hard to come by. There's an older set in the archives and a more newer recent one from about 2007. Looking between them both, I am happy to have this one in my collection. Most other stuff for the Medical theme have been just an ambulance or Doctor with patient deal.

    The base plate is wonderful, far different then any others I've seen, aside from being the base for MOC houses, it's seen a lot of use as the Hospital set it's meant for. And now that I'm older, I find building this set comes fast and quickly, though still enjoyable.

    5 Minifigures fill this set out, 2 Doctors, Ambulance Driver and 2 patients. There's plenty of little details inside and out from hospital room, stretchers, water cooler, main desk, chairs, foliage, trash can. It's just a wonderful set and great addition to a Lego City or Town. My Doctor from the Town Minifigure set naturally found a home here.

    Finally a Real Treatment Centre for Lego Town

    Written by (Unspecified , silver-rated reviewer) in Netherlands,

    The biggest release in the town Medical series this set is a must have for your Lego town. It comes with an Ambulance and 5 minifig. It has stretchers, desk with phone, computer, cool water cooler, greenery and lots of glasses... (do they hang around and drink coffee allday?)

    I especially like the carport for the ambulance, and the hight of the model. All in all a must have for any self respecting Lego Town.

    Very nice building!

    Written by (Unspecified , bronze-rated reviewer) in Poland,

    My favourite hospital is 363. After decade lego produced the second hospital - 6380. But saying the truth it is not a hospital. Who saw a hospital with only 1 doctor? Of course there's a nice operation room, but why there's only 1 bed for patients? If only they gave 2 or 4 beds...

    The set 363 has no inside, but thank to this, playing with the older set, I could imagine how big it was inside, how many doctors there were working inside, how many beds there were.

    I like very much the set 6380 - It is much more beautiful, than nowadays lego buildings. I only wanted to point, that now lego wants to contain everything in every set. They developed cars with 6, 8 entities wide and more. But hey forgot, that a good set should have some place for the imagination of young person, who wants to play with it.

    And lego city shouldn't contain only fire station and police buildings.

    Still I'm giving 5 to the set! It is beautiful and matches very good to other buildings from the golden eighties era!

    A very nice hospital

    Written by (Unspecified , gold-rated reviewer) in Russian Federation,

    I bought this set only a few days ago. When I was little I wanted it very much, one of the reasons was that this set was shown in a very cool way in a Lego catalog of those times, where one could see this hospital and the street full of Lego people watching the night sky as the rescue helicopter was passing by.

    This set includes a wonderful car, several doctors and 2 patients. It also has several good details, like chairs, cups and medical accessories, not to mention interesting windows and flowers.

    I actually received this set with an additional female doctor, with black hair, that wasn't originally in 6380.

    Oh, did I say, that there is a girl with a rare pigtails hair?
