Zip Question

Whoops! You're absolutely right. I totally flipped the options to zip in my
head when eyeing it. I suppose I'm suffering from late-onset dyslexia. Ahem.

Yeah, I think the arguments to zip() were probably just flipped in Victor's
code. Unless he wants a result different then what I assume is expected. I
assume he's expecting {"doctors": "prescriptions", "patient":
"prescriptions"}. If instead its something more like {"prescriptions":
["doctors", "patient"]} then zip() isn't how to accomplish it.
