Patient Class implementation in Python

Question

Am trying to implement a patient class in python. The class has the following properties:

-first name of the patient
-last name of the patient
-year of birth of the patient
-unique ID number of the patient
-patient email address
-patient phone number

The class should be able to printout/display each of the mentioned properties above.

The patient class will have to inherit from a generic person class. I have to determine which of one of the properties stated above should be declared within the person class and which ones should be specifically declared within the patient class.

Am a novice and trying to learn these things on my own. Can someone help?

Answer 1

Seems like the person class should naturally include the name, surname and yob (inherently linked to a person), while the contact details and id should only be in the patients class (those are being assigned by the clinic/outpatient office).
