Care Hospital wants to know the medical speciality visited by the maximum number of patients. Assume that the Patient id of the patient along with the medical speciality visited by the patient is stored in a list. The details of the medical specialities are stored in a dictionary as follows:

{  
   "P":"Pediatrics",    "O":"Orthopedics",    "E":"ENT"
}

Write a function to find the medical speciality visited
by the maximum number of
patients and return the name of the speciality.
Note: Assume that there is always only one medical
speciality which is visited by the maximum number 
of patients.

Sample Input	Expected Output
[101,P,102,O,302,P,305,P]	Pediatrics
[101,O,102,O,302,P,305,E,401,O,656,O]	Orthopedics
[101,P,102,E,302,P,305,P,401,E,656,O,987,E]	ENT
