[Talk-ko] a dozen hospitals in every street does that make sense?

Yes, these are all clinics of some kind (plastic surgery, skin clinic, eye 
clinic, etc.).  They are not hospitals, but they have been incorrectly 
classed as amenity=hospital during the import process.

I can see two solutions.  One is to manually inspect each 'hospital' and  
change the tags to the correct values.  The other is to ask the original 
importer (cyana) to fix them with a bulk operation (somehow).

Here is one that has been changed, but I don't know if it was manual, or done 
by a program:

In the example street you have given, can you suggest the correct tags for 
each of the 'hospitals'?  I haven't looked, but does the wiki have a 
definition for 'clinic' or 'plastic surgeon'?  What do you think we should 
use?

Best wishes,
