Build a Medical Data Validator - Step 15

Python

Tell us what’s happening:

I can’t seem to figure out step 15 at all. I have no idea if it’s my lack of understanding of the instructions or my misunderstanding of the material or what I’m supposed to do. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Your code so far

medical_records = [
    {
        'patient_id': 'P1001',
        'age': 34,
        'gender': 'Female',
        'diagnosis': 'Hypertension',
        'medications': ['Lisinopril'],
        'last_visit_id': 'V2301',
    },
    {
        'patient_id': 'P1002',
        'age': 47,
        'gender': 'Male',
        'diagnosis': 'Type 2 Diabetes',
        'medications': ['Metformin', 'Insulin'],
        'last_visit_id': 'V2302',
    },
    {
        'patient_id': 'P1003',
        'age': 29,
        'gender': 'Female',
        'diagnosis': 'Asthma',
        'medications': ['Albuterol'],

        'age': 56,
        'gender': 'Male',
        'diagnosis': 'Chronic Back Pain',

Just add a string or an array or anything that is not a dictionary object. You are just testing to see if validation messages are printed to the console. You will remove them later.

I actually figured it out shortly after I posted this, but thank you!
