Re: [HAPI-devel] [External] Unable to inspect gender and birthdate in Patient

[Russell B. <ru...@wi...>]

Yeah, sorry. It's been a very long time since I posted a question on 
HAPI FHIR and I couldn't find the forum. Then, there's the fact that I 
discovered that I had put totally bogus values into those fields which 
HAPI FHIR didn't catch in its parse, but refused to give them back when 
I asked for them. So, I fixed that and I'm working.

Again, sorry for the multiple screw-ups.
