How would one print the information in a table without having to view it as
a table? I have a dataframe with about 30 columns and 50 rows. About 7 rows
contain human subjects where something is just not right and I need to
manually work out what is going on with them and maybe even call them to
ensure we have the data correct. It is really inconvenient to view the 7
patients in a table. Instead, I would want to print the information so that
it looks like this. I guess what I am asking is how does one use print() or
cat() to create a form letter.
data frame column names are dob, date.of.dx, registration.nr, first.name,
last.name, human.contact, comment...

Human subject 1
dob=5/5/2003, date.of.dx=5/8/2003, registration.nr=568956TJGH,
first.name=Farrel,
last.name=Buchinsky, human.contact=yes, comment=Spoke with human subject on
Tuesday December 27, 2008. They asked questions about the study and wanted
to enroll. I told them I would get back to them within a week,
date.enrolled=01/05/2009, wt=20 ...

Human Subject 2
dob=5/8/2006, date.of.dx=7/72007, registration.nr=579293TGGG,
first.name=Marmeduk,

meeting and had lots of questions, we spoke for 2 hours, they lived in
Norway until 2  years ago, date.enrolled=01/23/2009, wt=10 ...
