Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts or insight on Chris's questions. This is in relation to the hospital booking kiosks that he posted about yesterday. I'd be particularly interested in your suggestions as I've been helping Chris on the Node.js side of things, and I'm keen that such a cool healthcare-related application for Node.js goes smoothly into the future.
