I've used doctors consistently because that was what was on Map_features 
when I started (must have been removed along the way sometime) and IIRC 
it was rendered on osmarender at least. doctor wasn't. I'm sure there 
was some logic to it in the mists of time ("going to the doctors"? more 
than one doctor at most practices?

But it's only a name. Now its there, why not just go with the flow?
