Validate Patient Data Entries | Dataford Interview Questions

Can you write a function to validate patient data entries and handle invalid inputs? The function receives a list containing patient dictionaries or invalid values. A valid patient has a non-empty string patient_id, a non-empty string name, and an integer age from 0 through 120. Return a dictionary containing the valid entries and indexed validation errors for invalid entries.

Each element is either a dictionary or an arbitrary invalid value.
Valid dictionaries require patient_id, name, and age.
patient_id and name must be non-empty strings after trimming whitespace.
