About This File
Original Description:
This medical mall can treat 4000 patients!
Cori Edit:
The original file was so borked with a mere 5 meter coverage radius that no Sims could receive any health care from it. We've chosen to not keep the old file under the change log.
The stats for this lot have been extensively revised by Cori.
The original used all the same numbers as the Maxis Medical Clinic with the exception that the capacity was increased to 4,000 Sims. This effectively made it a Cheat Lot (and that's fine if properly advertised as such) wherein the cost per Sim was 8 times less than a clinic and all the other attributes were also inconsistent compared to the lot size.
However, I believe we can still maintain @bjdf82's vision while also making it more in harmony with other Maxis content. I've adjusted it to still be somewhat of a cheat, but now with logical reasoning for such.
The idea is that this mini-medical complex doesn't have near the overhead of a hospital with larger rooms and beds for an extended stay. Nor does it have the massive expense of maintaining a helicopter and landing pad.
So the Medical Mall (as they named it) can streamline their operations for better cost management and quicker turnaround per patient. The cost works out to §0.20 per Sim per month. The hospital is §0.33 per Sim per month, but has a larger coverage radius.
Note: Trees seen in the pic started as seedlings so they will need time to grow in your game. Cars in the parking lots fade in and out of view based on the game's 24 hour clock.
Here are the stats now:

Installation:
Remove the old CV4x3_LargeClinic_ec1042d4.SC4Lot file from your plugins. Then drop in the new Medical Mall by bjdf82 and Fixed by Cori v1.1.1.SC4Lot into your plugins. Typically we'd be very concerned about creating a phantom slider bug if we didn't first bulldoze all prior plops of this lot. However, I've used my special method to circumvent that. 
Just be certain you truly understand the method if you plan to edit the file. There are two sets of LotConfig and Building exemplars which are needed for this extra protection. It allows keeping prior plops in your game or bulldozing them at your leisure.
Dependency:
There is one single dependency: bldgprop_vol1.dat , but it's better to use: Maxis Prop Names and Query Fix by T Wrecks.
