As a clinical applications developer I couldn't help but notice that
you are using the patient's age in your PatientType structure. This is
generally a bad idea, since the patient age is dynamic. It depends upon
the date/time of its evaluation. A much better idea is to use the birth
date/time and determine age on the fly, referenced against the curent
date/time. That way you're always correct, and don't have to limit the
persistance of your data.
