Smart Hospital Patient Management System

A Python-based simulation of a hospital patient management system that prioritizes emergency cases over normal cases using Stack and Queue data structures.

---

🚀 Overview

In real hospitals, patients are treated based on urgency.

This system simulates that logic:

• ⚡ Emergency Patients → handled using Stack (LIFO)
• 🧾 Normal Patients → handled using Queue (FIFO)

The system ensures emergency cases are always treated first.

🧠 Key Concepts

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
  • Inheritance
  • Polymorphism
• Data Structures
  • Stack
  • Queue
• System Design Basics

---

⚙️ How It Works

1. Patients are added to the system:

   • Emergency patients → go to Stack
   • Normal patients → go to Queue

2. Treatment order:

   • Emergency patients are treated first
   • Then normal patients are treated

---

🏗️ System Design

• Patient → Base class (name, age)
• EmergencyPatient → High priority patient
• NormalPatient → Regular patient
• Stack → Handles emergency patients (LIFO)
• Queue → Handles normal patients (FIFO)
• Hospital → Controls overall workflow

🧪 Example Output

Pushed Alice onto stack. Enqueued Charlie to queue. Pushed Bob onto stack. Enqueued David to queue.

=== Treating patients === Treating emergency patient: Bob Treating emergency patient: Alice Treating normal patient: Charlie Treating normal patient: David

✨ Features

✔ Priority-based patient handling
✔ Real-world hospital simulation
✔ Clean OOP design
✔ Easy to extend

🔮 Future Improvements

• Replace Stack with Priority Queue
• Add GUI (Tkinter / Web interface)
• Store patient data in database
• Add scheduling system based on time/condition
