🐛 Bug Report

Describe the bug

When creating a new doctor using the POST /api/v1/doctors/ endpoint, the doctor_age field provided in the request body is not saved to the database. The response returns doctor_age: null even when a valid integer is provided.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Make a POST request to /api/v1/doctors/ with the following payload:

    {

    "doctor_name": "Dr. Test",

    "doctor_age": 45,

    "doctor_sex": "male",

    "specialization": "General",

    "doctor_email": "[email protected]",

    "doctor_phone_no": "1234567890",

    "doctor_availability": true,

    "license_number": "LIC123"

    }

  2. See error: JSON response shows "doctor_age": null.

Expected behavior

The doctor_age should be saved to the database and returned in the response as 45.

Environment

  • OS: Linux
  • Browser: HTTP Client
  • Version: Current

Additional context

The issue is located in app/services/doctor_service.py. The create_doctor function creates a User instance but fails to include the user_age field from the doctor_age input.
