The wiki pages for healthcare=clinic and amenity=clinic don't seem to explicitly state that these tags are appropriate for units/departments/centres of hospitals. I agree with your view. The value "clinic" may not have been the best we could have chosen but there doesn't seem to be any other value to use for the X-ray department, diabetes centre, renal dialysis unit, etc. of a hospital. Before the current crisis I was mapping my nearest general hospital and using amenity=clinic + healthcare=clinic in this way. The only reason to think otherwise is that the wiki page on healthcare lists only two specialities for clinics: abortion and fertility, indicating that at least one person considered clinics to be standalone and not normally part of hospitals. So what's the consensus on clinics? If there is a consenus (rather than the usual bunfight) I'll amend the wiki pages to make it explicit that clinic can be used for units/departments/centres in hospitals. -- Paul
