The 'Original' Bug
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
Unable to add doctor as patient
Given that Doctors are humans as well, they might also be patients at the same hospital that they work in, as such when adding the doctor as a patient, we expect to be able to add them so we can keep track of them as well.
Example: adddoctor n/Amy Smith i/S8054321B p/87654321 d/1980-12-05
However the doctor is not able to be a patient in the same hospital. This might cause issue when managing all patients and might consider differentiating contacts with respect to roles as well.

:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
- [ ] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
## :question: Issue severity Team chose [`severity.Low`] Originally [`severity.Medium`] - [x] I disagree **Reason for disagreement:** It seems that the team has not provided a response as to why the severity should be lowered (perhaps a CATcher issue?) But to further elaborate - there are hundreds of staff in each hospital. As a trained medic who worked in a medical center as well as multiple hospitals, I can say from experience that it is extremely common behaviour for doctors to make appointments as patients in their workplace. This feature flaw would cause frequent, and considerable inconvenience to a large and important subset of the users - doctors.
It is possible and common for doctors to schedule appointments at the hospital they work at, and this system does not allow a doctor to make an appointment as a patient
