The electronic records don’t know whether this patient has been discharged, but they have specifically consented to being contacted by their former clinicians. (Also: {% include "contact_after_discharge_permission_phrase.html" %} ) So you may proceed as long as you are a former clinician of theirs.

Discharged? The electronic records don’t know whether this patient has been discharged. {% include "contact_after_discharge_permission_phrase.html" %} If you know the patient has been discharged longer ago than this, please say no to this request (giving “discharged long ago” as your reason).

The patient is listed as having been discharged, but they have specifically consented to being contacted by their former clinicians, so you may proceed as long as you are a former clinician of theirs.
{% elif patient_lookup.days_since_discharge != None and patient_lookup.days_since_discharge <= permitted_to_contact_discharged_patients_for_n_days %}
The patient is listed as having been discharged {{ patient_lookup.days_since_discharge }} days ago. {% include "contact_after_discharge_permission_phrase.html" %} So this is OK. You may proceed as long as you are a former clinician of theirs.

Bug. The patient is listed as having been discharged {{ patient_lookup.days_since_discharge }} days ago. {% include "contact_after_discharge_permission_phrase.html" %} So, the patient was discharged too long ago. They have not given their specific consent to contact after discharge. This e-mail should not have come to you; we are sorry. This is a bug. Please say no to the request and tell the Research Database Manager (details below) of the bug.

Dead? The electronic records won’t know if the patient has died very recently, so please veto any such inadvertent requests.
