Relaxing gmCurrentPatient to not be a Singleton does not make
sense. After all that's why it's called as it is. However, if
you forego the comfort gmCurrentPatient offers and start
dealing directly with cPerson you are free to have as many of
them around as your machine affords.

Ian, I also think this is a more suitable place to decrease
find_patient_ids granularity to. Return cPerson instances from
find_patients(), not cDemographicObject ones. We would then
enhance gmCurrentPatient to switch in cPerson instances as well
as primary keys. Would you mind rethinking your patch along
those lines ?
