Hi Carlos,

> I send you current dump
I like that !  Looks like what I can give to my colleagues and
have them make sense out of it. Nice.

Now it's easier to discuss some of the finer points:

Eventually using "value objects" may make it more convenient to
do all this: The object will know how to output itself in text
format. It should provide a __str__ and a __repr__ method as
well as eventually various dump(verbosity=0) methods.

Perfect for a dump, IMHO. It may be worth to provide a short
tree listing issues -> episodes -> encounter *range* at the
top. This would allow for quicker reference by a clinician.

Personally, as a doc, I would opt for a tree that lets me
search issue -> episode -> encounter(s) and then lists items
by timestamp.

I wonder if eventually it'd be possible to turn this into a
"table" like this:

indication tetanus
 #1 date, vaccine, batch_no
 #2 ...
indication ...
 ...
indication ...
 ...

due:
 ...

overdue:

Can we put this into the Wiki linked to ASCII export ?
