I was struggling on regex for a long time, then check the answer to get an idea.

Trickier than it seemed at first . . .

For every fields, I parsed them by Regex Expression

 

However, the solution seems to be more logical and easier

 

Thanks for the challenge #40

My solution is very inefficient but at least I had fun, which is really the most important thing right?

This was a great challenge - love REGEX for this (and everything truth be told).  I also discovered the error with row 649 being parsed in correctly.

Kept the errors on 374 and 649 which the output solution had... I don't even know if 374 counts as an error - perhaps Dr. Harken transcends concepts of location and medical specialization - the information isn't included in the original text.
