Patient can only be a doctor or a patient

[Goh-Li-Ting]

While it is stated in your UG that a person can only be either a patient or a doctor, it is possible in the real world for a doctor to also be a patient, such as when the doctor falls sick.

Team's Response

I understand where you are coming from but this was intentional on our part. If we allowed person to be both patient and doctor it would create more bugs such as

• for the edit command: doctors and patients have different fields. Changing blood type of someone registered as a doctor could be problematic.
• creating an appointment between the same person (both doctor and patient)
• delete: are u trying to delete the doctor version of this guy or the patient version of the guy

Maybe this is something that can be a future extension, where we can have additional delete commands like delete d IC and delete p IC, which deletes the patients/doctors record of the same NRIC.
