Sample Solution:

SQL Code(MySQL):

CREATE TABLE patient(
patient_id integer NOT NULL UNIQUE,
patient_name varchar(25));


INSERT INTO patient VALUES(1001,'Gilbart Kane   ');
INSERT INTO patient VALUES(1002,'Thomas Richi   ');
INSERT INTO patient VALUES(1003,'Ricardo Grance ');
INSERT INTO patient VALUES(1004,'Vanio Tishuma  ');
INSERT INTO patient VALUES(1005,'Charls Brown   ');


CREATE TABLE speciality(
specialist varchar(25));

INSERT INTO speciality VALUES('medicine   ');
INSERT INTO speciality VALUES('cardiology ');
INSERT INTO speciality VALUES('neurology  ');
INSERT INTO speciality VALUES('hematology ');


CREATE TABLE treatment(
patient_id integer ,
specialist_call varchar(25),
foreign key (patient_id) references patient(patient_id));


INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1001,'medicine   ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1003,'medicine   ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1002,'cardiology ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1001,'hematology ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1004,'medicine   ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1003,'cardiology ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1005,'neurology  ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1002,'neurology  ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1001,'cardiology ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1005,'cardiology ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1003,'cardiology ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1005,'hematology ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1004,'hematology ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1005,'neurology  ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1002,'neurology  ');
INSERT INTO treatment VALUES(1001,'hematology ');



SELECT s.patient_id, patient_name, sub.specialist , COUNT(e.specialist_call) AS "Specialist Attended"
FROM patient AS s
CROSS JOIN speciality AS sub
LEFT JOIN treatment AS e
ON s.patient_id = e.patient_id
AND sub.specialist = e.specialist_call
GROUP BY s.patient_id, patient_name, sub.specialist
ORDER BY patient_id, patient_name, specialist;

Sample Output:
