Tell us what’s happening:
How can an item not be a dictionary? I’ve been looking back on the theory readings on items and dictionaries, and all I know so far would be adding ‘Something’: ‘Someone,’ and if I were to add this code to the medical_records list, it would be valid syntax but not following step 15. I’m confused.
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'],
'last_visit_id': 'V2303',
},
{
'patient_id': 'P1004',
'age': 56,
'gender': 'Male',
'diagnosis': 'Chronic Back Pain',
'medications': ['Ibuprofen', 'Physical Therapy'],
'last_visit_id': 'V2304',
},
