---

2. REMAINING ISSUES

2.1 Mixins.py Debug Code ✅ FIXED

Location: appointments/mixins.py

Status: ✅ RESOLVED

Previous Issue:

• Debug print statements on lines 23 and 33
• Performance overhead and cluttered logs

Current State:

• ✅ All print statements removed
• ✅ Clean, professional code
• ✅ Ready for production

---

2.2 Commented URL Patterns ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY

Location: appointments/urls.py

Found 3 commented patterns:

1. Line ~1847:

# path('calendar/appointments/', views.calendar_appointments, name='calendar_appointments'),

2. Line ~1849:

# path('queue/', views.QueueManagementView.as_view(), name='queue_management'),

3. Line ~end:

# path('get_doctor_schedule/', views.get_provider_schedule, name='get_doctor_schedule')

Recommendation:

• If views are truly deprecated, remove commented lines
• If views might be needed, document why they're commented
• Consider creating a deprecated_urls.py for reference

---

2.3 Template Path Inconsistency ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY

Issue: Inconsistent template paths in AppointmentTemplateUpdateView

Found in views.py:

# AppointmentTemplateCreateView
template_name = 'appointments/templates/appointment_template_form.html'  # Correct

# AppointmentTemplateUpdateView  
template_name = 'appointments/appointment_template_form.html'  # Inconsistent

# AppointmentTemplateDeleteView
template_name = 'appointments/appointment_template_confirm_delete.html'  # Inconsistent

Recommendation: Standardize to use appointments/templates/ prefix

logger.debug(f"Patient resolved from URL kwarg: {patient.id}")
logger.debug(f"Patient resolved from query param: {patient.id}")

Impact: Cleaner logs, better debugging, professional code

---

Priority 2: Clean Up Commented URL Patterns (30 minutes)
