Problem Statement

Develop an algorithm using pseudocode or flowchart that accepts as input relevant information
for an unspecified number of patients. A patient may be from any one of the four parishes.  The
algorithm should determine the total costs incurred by each patient. 
• This includes registration fee, doctor’s fee, insurance fee and subtotal.
• The algorithm should print the total number of patients from each parish.
