Description
In the mimic dataset, the "datetimeevents" table anonymizes records by shifting the time period of events. See here for complete explanation.
This causes an issue for pandas timestamp since the new timestamps exist in a time period that exceeds the upper bound limit of the package. The error accompanied by this issue is pandas._libs.tslibs.np_datetime.OutOfBoundsDatetime: Out of bounds nanosecond timestamp: 2275-12-21 16:00:00.

Research direction
The issue names the MIMIC datetimeevents table and the pandas OutOfBoundsDatetime error but no files or tests. Start by locating the code that reads or transforms this table and reproduce the reported timestamp failure; done means the datetimeevents data can be processed without that error.
