sorry for the millionth post in one day

I just have to take a moment to marvel at my job's medical record system, because I was going through my census to check everyone's appointments with people who are not me, and saw that two people had the same medical record number and birthdate. Obviously this was not right (I am not the one who inputs the data onto this spreadsheet, I just use it all the time), so I had to track down which one was wrong.

Well.

If Patient #1 had the MRN of 1234, patient #2's was 1324.

Their birthdates were correct - the same. My census is organized in order of people signing up to the program, and these two just happened to land next to each other. With the exact same DOB and MRNs one digit off.

What are the odds.
