Master head `rake ..` tasks infinitely recurse on `require 'fhir_client'`. (synthea.rb:12)

When running rake <anything> off master as noted in the instructions, a gnarly recursive stack overflow is emitted. This happens on rake, rake -T, bundle exec rake synthea:generate etc when synthea.rb requires 'fhir_client' on line 12.

(additional recursive calls omitted)

I found an issue with fhir_client related to rest-client. Fixing that with https://github.com/fhir-crucible/fhir_client/pull/68 fixes this issue, but the fhir_client gem will need a new release.

There is still an infinitely recursive require, but it is now related to health-data-standards gem which is outside of my control. I submitted an issue to that team: https://github.com/projectcypress/health-data-standards/issues/498. It has to do with some of their outdated dependencies.
