Ditto. Ah, the classic era from the late 70s to the late 80s. I must stop
now, otherwise I will go on. (sighs contentedly).

These are all of the Town sets with minifigs that use the red cross. There
are also a few Coast Gaurd sets, or rescue type sets that don't use a cross,
like 6697, 6666, and 1896. AFIK, these were all of the Town medical sets,
with just the two hospitals.
There was one Enviro-Model Hospital, 363 and the US version, 555. Dacta
also had a hospital 9364. This one should have been released as a
mainstream Town set IMHO. It even uses the same ambulance from 6380.
Anyway, that's all I could come up with.

P.S. I like that catalog scan. It's got a great little hospital set that
really should have been released. That's a great looking little set, the
car that comes with it, too. Another thing, did anyone else notice on the
scan around the corner to the left of the hospital a little Fire truck with
a trailer. Not the ladder truck, but a little one that looks like a jeep
with a trailer. It's the first time I've seen a minifig seated off to one
side as opposed to the middle in a 4-wide in an official picture. Also,
does anyone know what set that little fire jeep came from?
