38. “Where are those three letters with my test results that I need to take to my hospital appointment today?”
39. Need 1.1 As someone with condition X, I need to tell my patient story when I have an appointment, so that the person treating me knows if the treatment is suitable.
40. Need 1.2 As a healthcare professional, I need to know a patient’s full history, so that I can give them the best possible treatment at the right time.
42. Knowledge over assumptions.
43. We can go from a hypothesis to having something to test in a web browser within a sprint.
 (If not sooner.)
