## Overview

This is a small, menu-driven Alberta Hospital management program. Users choose doctor or patient operations; the corresponding manager handles records and persists changes in text files. The README describes the doctor and patient classes/managers and a management board. The sampled source confirms menu dispatch and file-backed managers; omitted code limits certainty about the details of some manager operations.

Main entry points: [`manage_system.py`](https://github.com/kwanhochan/oop-project/blob/main/manage_system.py) (Management menus), [`Project Data/doctors.txt`](https://github.com/kwanhochan/oop-project/blob/main/Project%20Data/doctors.txt) (Doctor data), [`Project Data/patients.txt`](https://github.com/kwanhochan/oop-project/blob/main/Project%20Data/patients.txt) (Patient data)
