What the hell kind of database doesn't use an internally generated unique ID to reference user data? It shouldn't matter that there is duplicate data. But like you said, it's hospital systems I guess...

It all started when Bob stated that his nephew could do it for one fifth of the asking price.

I'm probably younger than Bobs nephew and I know to use unique identifiors.

It's probably the people who say "omg, look at our website builder, low code!111!!!11" that made this mistake
