Aaah, the days. Well, yeah, precisely ! There's not a hint
of doubt an encounter worthy of note is taking place here.

Those are "user stories" (potential use cases) which have a
place in guiding functional development. They could be
collected on the wiki. Eg. the above gives plenty of hints
on what a Patient Overview Widget should contain:
- previous history
- known aneurysma ?
- previous headaches ?
- most recent lab
for easy access to INR trend
- active medication
for easy access to warfarin schedule
- primary address w/ phone number
for sending ambulance
- abbreviated docs listing
- previously had cephalic MRI ?
