i think
amenity=clinic
medical=<servicelist>
emergency=yes|no
would work great,
here in spain we have "centro de salud" (=health center)
wich is public health care.
there is one in each village or suburb.
they are meant to liberate mayor hospitals of 1st aid
and not so important/critical doctor care.
they differ a bit on medical=<servicelist>
so specifing that list would be ok.
they are also emergency=yes
i would add
operator=public or
operator=goverment
to differentiate them from private clinics.
opticians are understood the same way as uk
they graduate your eyes to make glasses.
if you have an illness of that kind then you go to an
ophthalmologist
and as regards with the general classification i would distigish 3 types
amenity=hospital
big and with a great list of medical=<servicelist>
it has mayor sugery facilities, they open your body with a knife
has emergency care
actual icon is good for me
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:Rendering-amenity_hospital.png
amenity=clinic
many general practitioner
no mayor surgery, thet dont open your body with a knife
small emergency (broken bones casts, sewing wounds...)
the icon can be the same as hospital with the red cross outlined instead
of filled.
amenity=general_practitioner
just that
the icon can be the one proposed for gp_sugery
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:Doctors_small.png
looks fine and clearly differentiates from hospital/clinic
-----
a forth one can be hospitals/clinics maybe with no emergency
that cover the mental illness, physical therapy, any long term care
this ones can be green icon ??
please, excuse my english
cheers

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.
