why is your startingRecNo = 0? and because you set it to zero, this line → [OpenELIS-Global-2/src/main/java/org/openelisglobal/patient/daoimpl/PatientDAOImpl.java at 2b80571a21b95e7b1c561b9b0a5bfc37131ccabd · I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2 · GitHub](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/blob/2b80571a21b95e7b1c561b9b0a5bfc37131ccabd/src/main/java/org/openelisglobal/patient/daoimpl/PatientDAOImpl.java#L130) wil be -1 which is not ideal according to me.

EVen the error logs have this line `Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: first-result value cannot be negative : -1`

use `1` instead of `0` on this line `List<Patient> patientsPage = patientService.getPageOfPatients(1);`
