Notdienst
/ˈnoːtˌdiːnst/· noun· Pl. die Notdienste
emergency (call-out) service; on-call duty
Der Notdienst helps at night and at weekends: doctors, dentists and chemists have one, and so do many Handwerksbetriebe — no power, no heating in winter, a burst pipe. It costs more than a normal appointment, and the team takes turns (Notdienst haben).
