you are really doing strange stuff here.
1. you need to define functions before you can call them. (i.e. lines starting from 32 should be before you try to call them (i.e. before current line 9)
2. No indentation is needed - I don't know why you indent each of these functions further and further
3. line 29
4. line 30 - except should be at same level as try
5. maybe the biggest problem with your code is repetition. This is indicative you need to refactor your code. Hint: - you can have the patient name as key and their birthday as value in a dictionary. This assume no repeating names. Or you can find more suitable data structures like namedtuple to hold patient information and access it from single function.
