i think<br>
<pre wrap=""> amenity=clinic
medical=<servicelist>
emergency=yes|no</pre>
would work great, <br>
here in spain we have "centro de salud" (=health center)<br>
wich is public health care.<br>
there is one in each village or suburb.<br>
they are meant to liberate mayor hospitals of 1st aid <br>
and not so important/critical doctor care.<br>
<br>
they differ a bit on medical=<servicelist><br>
so specifing that list would be ok.<br>
they are also emergency=yes
<br>
<pre wrap=""> i would add
operator=public or
operator=goverment
</pre>
to differentiate them from private clinics.<br>
<br>
opticians are understood the same way as uk<br>
they graduate your eyes to make glasses.<br>
if you have an illness of that kind then you go to an <br>
<span onclick="dr4sdgryt2(event)" style="cursor: pointer;">ophthalmologist</span><br>
<br>
</blockquote>
and as regards with the general classification i would distigish 3 types<br>
<br>
amenity=hospital <br>
big and with a great list of medical=<servicelist>
<br>
it has mayor sugery facilities, they open your body with a knife<br>
has emergency care<br>
actual icon is good for me

<br>
<br>
amenity=clinic<br>
many general practitioner<br>
no mayor surgery, thet dont open your body with a knife<br>
small emergency (broken bones casts, sewing wounds...)<br>
the icon can be the same as hospital with the red cross outlined
instead of filled.<br>
<br>
amenity=general_practitioner<br>
just that<br>
the icon can be the one proposed for gp_sugery
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:Doctors_small.png">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:Doctors_small.png</a><br>
looks fine and clearly differentiates from hospital/clinic<br>
<br>
-----<br>
a forth one can be hospitals/clinics maybe with no emergency<br>
that cover the mental illness, physical therapy, any long term care<br>
this ones can be green icon ??<br>
<br>
<br>
please, excuse my english<br>
<br>
cheers <br>

<pre wrap=""><!---->
And physical rehabilitation, dementia care, psychiatric counseling...
the list might be quite a long one.
I'm coming round to the opinion that the different kinds of surgeries
are all just really kinds of what's being proposed in the rather
stronger Clinic_(Medical) proposal. But it is probably wise to
distinguish a dentist from a chiropodist somehow if they might be the
only ones occupying their respective buildings.
I think we should merge everything into Clinic_(Medical), either before
it gets accepted or after. Make that mean anything from a huge
polyclinic covering many disciplines to small doctors' surgeries and
dental practices.
So how to distinguish one sort of treatment or care from another?
Perhaps a merged proposal for "small to medium medical facilities"
should be something like:
amenity=clinic
medical=<servicelist>
emergency=yes|no
where <servicelist> is a semicolon-separated list of values from
{dentist, doctor, chiropodist, physiotherapy, minor_surgery, ...}.
Opticians in the UK are more like high-street shops than medical
facilities. It would feel strange to call an optician a clinic too, even
if the upstairs consulting rooms are all separate and have something of
the doctor's surgery nature. Hmm.
