I want to model a this scenario in Object Oriented Language

• A hospital has number of patients
• A patient can have zero or more Medical Condition
• A medical condition is identified by name and date

I came up with this basic java code

Please review my code and tell me

1. What can I do to incorporate Object Oriented fundamentals like reuse,extensibility.
2. Do I need to implement equals method in MedicalCondition class?
3. Do I need to initialize all the instance variables in constructor?

import java.text.*;
class Patient
{
    private String name;
    private String streetAdress1;
    private String phoneNumber;
    private String streetAdress2;
    private String zipCode; //I really dont need to preform any numerical operations.
    private List<MedicalCondition> mcList;
    
    public Patient(String name) //Public for constructor.
    {
        this.name = name;
        mcList = new ArrayList<MedicalCondition>();
    }  
    
    public void setName(String name)
    {
        this.name = name;
    }
    
    public String getName()
    {
        return name;
    }

    
    //All setter and getters
    
    public void addMedicalCondition(MedicalCondition mc)
    {
        mcList.add(mc);
    }
    
    public void deleteMedicalCondition(MedicalCondition mc)
    {
        mcList.remove(mc);
    }
    
    public List<MedicalCondition> getMedicalConditions()
    {
        return mcList;

        for(MedicalCondition mc : p1.getMedicalConditions())
        {
            System.out.println(mc);
        }
        
        p1.deleteMedicalCondition(mc1); //Delete the condition
        
         System.out.println(p1);

        {
            System.out.println(mc);
        }
     }
}

         

I want to model this scenario in object oriented language:

• A hospital has number of patients
• A patient can have zero or more medical conditions
• A medical condition is identified by name and date

Please review my code and tell me:

1. What can I do to incorporate object oriented fundamentals like reusability and extensibility?
2. Do I need to implement an equals method in the MedicalCondition class?
3. Do I need to initialize all the instance variables in constructor?
