    ($login, $patient); # get object that holds the database connection
    $login = Hospital->get_login; # Instantiate object representing the
    patient record # that has primary key 1000. Change the record's #
    name_last field. Then save the record. $patient =
    Hospital::Patient->new($login, 1000, fields=>['name_last']);
    $patient->{'f'}->{'name_last'} = 'Smith'; $patient->save;

    # Instantiate object representing a patient record # that doesn't
    exist yet. Set the name_last field, save, # and output the primary
    key of the new record $patient = Hospital::Patient->new($login, -1);
    $patient->{'f'}->{'name_last'} = 'Smith'; $patient->save; print
    'primary key: ', $patient->{'pk'}, "\n";
