test: improve API route coverage
🚀 Merge Request
Overview
Improved unit test coverage for medicine, patient, and user route modules to ensure reliable API behavior across all scenarios.
What does this MR do and why?
- Increased test coverage for critical API routes
- Added missing test cases for edge cases and error handling
- Covered all logical branches (success, failure, exceptions)
- Improves backend stability and reduces regression risks
Changes Made
