Fix repeat medicine consultation and prescription UI flow

Damanagari Sathwika requested to merge fix/repeat-medicines into develop

Overview

This MR updates the frontend repeat medicine flow to reuse the existing consultation and prescription UI without requiring a real doctor assignment.

Repeat medicine patients now follow the same consultation and prescription experience as normal patients while displaying "Repeat Medicine" instead of a doctor name.

What does this MR do and why?

Previously, repeat medicine patients showed invalid/empty consultation states such as:

  • No consultations found
  • Invalid consultation ID format
  • Missing prescription flow

The frontend expected a normal doctor consultation flow with a valid doctor reference.

This MR updates the frontend logic to:

  • Support repeat medicine consultation flow
  • Reuse the existing prescription UI
  • Display "Repeat Medicine" as the consultation card title
  • Handle repeat medicine consultation rendering properly

Changes Made

Frontend Changes

  • Added repeat medicine conditional rendering logic
  • Updated consultation card title handling
  • Reused existing consultation and prescription UI for repeat medicine patients
  • Added repeat medicine fallback handling for consultation rendering
  • Prevented invalid consultation state in prescription flow
  • Maintained same click behavior and prescription modal flow

Technical Details

Root Cause

Frontend consultation flow depended on:

  • valid doctor data
  • normal consultation mapping

For repeat medicine patients:

  • no real doctor existed
  • consultation rendering failed
  • prescription flow showed invalid consultation errors

Fix Implemented

title = visit.is_repeat_medicine
  ? "Repeat Medicine"
  : doctor.name;

Also updated consultation rendering flow to support repeat medicine consultations without requiring a real doctor.

Type of Change

  • 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • 🎨 UI/UX improvement
  • ✨ New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
