[Talk-us] When is your doctor a clinic?

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

hunting down spam in OSM I often stumble over medical establishments in
the US that have maximum-length description tags exhorting just how
beatiful your smile will be after your visit to that dentist, etc.; I
also find many objects that sound like a simple doctor's practice but
are entered as "amenity=clinic", e.g.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4574659098

Especially in the US, when do you use amenity=doctors and when
amenity=clinic - is this essentially self-determined by the business, or
are there criteria that you as a mapper apply to select which to use?

Bye
Frederik
