Notes

  • This operation is permanent and cannot be undone
  • Returns 404 if no patient exists with the provided CPF
  • Due to cascade delete settings, this will also remove all consultations associated with the patient
  • Consider implementing soft delete for production use to maintain data history
  • Ensure proper authorization is implemented before allowing patient deletion
This is a destructive operation. All patient data and associated consultations will be permanently removed from the system.
