You don't show enough code to be sure, but passing
this.selectClinicSuccess to doSomething is almost certainly wrong.
doSomething probably call calls its argument, in which case 'this' will
be undefined inside selectClinicSuccess.  You might want

  this.otherClass.doSomething( this.selectClinicSuccess.bind(this) );
