Hi Asif,
The best option in your case would be to create  a parameter in Crystal Reports based on the Patients names filed. Now, when you run the report, it will ask you to choose the patients name. Choose the appropriate name and run the report. This will give you the desired information. After this you may print this instance of report accordingly.
To make this parameter, follow these steps:
1) In the Crystal Reports page, open the Field Explorer.
2) Right Click on the Parameter Field in the Field Explorer and choose new.
3) This will open the parameter window.
4) Now give the parameter a name, choose the datatupe in the type dropdown and choose static from the List Of Values Option.
5) In the Value Field dropdown, choose the field for patient name.
6) Now click on Actions and click on Append all database values.
7) Click ok.
This will create the desired parameter.
Now goto the Report Menu and click on Select Expert. Choose the Field for Patients name and click ok.
In the next window, from the first dropdown, choose "is equal to" and from he second dropdown, choose the parameter. click ok and run the report.
Hope this helps you!
