Tell us what’s happening:

I have add these two at the end of the list, but still does not work.
{
‘patient_id’: ‘P1005’,
‘age’: 30,
‘gender’: ‘Male’,
‘diagnosis’: ‘Cancer’,
‘Hobbies’: [‘Vipe’],
‘last_visit_id’: ‘V2304’,
},
{
‘patient_id’: ‘P1006’,
‘age’: 60,
‘gender’: ‘Female’,
‘diagnosis’: ‘Diabetes’,
‘siblings’: [‘Angela’],
‘last_visit_id’: ‘V2305’,
}

Your code so far

medical_records = [
    {
        'patient_id': 'P1001',
        'age': 34,
        'gender': 'Female',
        'diagnosis': 'Hypertension',
        'medications': ['Lisinopril'],
        'last_visit_id': 'V2301',

        'age': 47,

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge. How to Help Someone with Their Code Using the Socratic Method

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
