This is horrible. What happened to our modular design? What is this nonsense 
about not being able to access demographics without creating an entry in the 
clinical database?

Once again for all contributors:
1.) The gnumed client as such is foremost a GUI framework for pluggable 
modules
2.) Module design aims for independent functionality; in fact, most modules 
should run as standalone programs with few dependencies if invoked outside 
the gnumed client framework
3.) The concept of "Services" only makes sense if these are really totally 
independent; this is especially valid for the "demographic" service for which 
we must not assume the same confidentiality constraint as for the other 
services.
