Thinking this through I come to the same conclusion and fail to see the benefit 
of having the wainting list duplicated in the "patient"-overview widget.

However as time passes I can imagine that GNUmed will eventually a "doctor"-
overview widget. This widget might be made with wxAUI and allow each GNUmed 
user to arrange a set of widgetlets into an overview widget which serves as a 
reminder for the doctor rather then giving an overview over a patient.

This doctor-overview might house the waiting list, todo (recalls), open 
appointments and more.
