Welcome to the forum @luisangelmartineztor,

Try using the str() method on the medical_records array to see the error message in the console:

medical_records = str([<array objects>])

Happy coding

you can do it in any way you want, the only requirement is that medical_records needs to become a string. You can delete the current assigned, you can reassign, you can do it in any way.

Add “”" before the first and last ]
