his coat has exterior pockets and it's longer then a sack coat but not quite as long as a frock coat. A coat specific to Hospital service maybe? or just one of the many variants there were on the Sack Coat?

Very typical of the variety of privately purchased blouses avail at the time. Not an issue item nor specific to the hospital service, as images are around showing infantry, artillery, clerks, and others in those types as well. They run from longer to shorter, pockets or none, trim or plain, 4 button or 5,etc. It was up to the individual and the tailor who made them. There was a rather large cottage industry of privately made garments for those who didn't or couldn't wear the as-issued garments, and there is nothing particularly special about this one over another.
