Funny you mention this. A few of us discussed this item during BrickFest 2002,
during my
'old Lego paperwork' session. My understanding is that indeed, these catalog
pictures are supposed to show real sets, and that hospital was planned as a
release, but never happened.
We all agreed it would have been a cool set.
This is not the only time this happened. Recently (1996) a set was pictured in
a catalog but never appeared: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6500
