And that's a very good point.
I sometimes do enter records for the wrong patient accidentally, and only
notice next time I see that patient.
I then manually graft this record by direct database manipulation, because the
user interface doesn't let me, and this is a PITA.
My opinion is that since we cannot reliably prevent anybody from altering
records directly anyway, there is no point in making such alterations
impossible in the user interface.
The altered version should be the displayed one, with the note "Record altered
on <date> by <author>, for previous version click [here]" prepended to the
displayed record. That at least allows for orderly legitimate amendments
