It's funny that one of the commentors mentioned HL7 interfaces. Protip: if you want to break medical record messaging for yourself or your child put |, &, \ or ^ characters in your or their name. I ran into a case where a registrar typed in a name of O^Malley and had everyone confused.

I read the headline and thought there might be a weird name with "NULL" in it somewhere. Wasn't far off!
