# Patient Doctor QA Raw Dataset (ZoneTwelve/patient_doctor_qa_rawdata)

⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: All files in this dataset use Big5 encoding, as they originate from public e-hospital. Make sure your system is configured to handle Big5 encoded files properly.

## Overview
This dataset (`ZoneTwelve/patient_doctor_qa_rawdata`) contains patient-related Question-Answer pairs derived from Taiwan's e-Hospital system. The data is sourced from the Taiwan e-Hospital platform (https://sp1.hso.mohw.gov.tw/), providing valuable healthcare-related QA information.

## Dataset Structure
The dataset is stored in Hugging Face's blob format for efficient storage and access. It includes:
- Question-answer pairs related to patient care
- Medical terminology and procedures
- Healthcare facility information
- Patient care guidelines

## Data Source
- **Origin**: Taiwan e-Hospital Platform
- **URL**: https://sp1.hso.mohw.gov.tw/
- **Format**: Processed and stored in blob format

## Tools and Utilities

### 1. Viewer Tool (`viewer.py`)
A Python script to preview the contents of blob files.

#### Features:
- List all files in the blob storage
- Preview specific file contents
- Support for both text and binary files
- Configurable preview size

#### Usage:
```bash
# List all files
python viewer.py /path/to/ZoneTwelve/patient_docker_qa_data --list

# Preview specific file
python viewer.py /path/to/ZoneTwelve/patient_docker_qa_data --file 999

# Preview with custom size limit
python viewer.py /path/to/ZoneTwelve/patient_docker_qa_data --file 999 --size 2048
```

### 2. Export Tool (`export.py`)
A Python script to extract files from the blob storage.

#### Features:
- Extract specific files from blobs
- Maintain original file structure
- Custom output path support
- File listing capability

#### Usage:
```bash
# List available files
python export.py /path/to/ZoneTwelve/patient_docker_qa_data --list

# Extract specific file
python export.py /path/to/ZoneTwelve/patient_docker_qa_data --file 999 --output /path/to/save/999.html

# Extract to default location
python export.py /path/to/ZoneTwelve/patient_docker_qa_data --file 999
```
