Overlapping appointments

We want to start using the Outlook calendar to book doctor appintments in our
office.
However, we have two docs and they overlap an hour from 12:00 to 1:00.
Is there a way to have their appointments both at 12:00 and know which patient
is for which doc.?  Appointments are booked at 15 min. intervals.
Basically, have two 12:00 - 1:00 areas on the page.
We use Outlook 2003.

The easiest approach would be to put the patient and doctor names both in the Subject field.

Thanks.  I did suggest this to the person who would be using it the majority
of the time but she didn't like that.  Oh, well, she'll just have to do
without.

Maybe this would work better -- put the patient's name as the subject and the doctor's name as the location. That will make it easy to group by doctor/location in a table view, as well as show both pieces of information in day/week/month views. Plus, she'll be able to pick from the Location dropdown list, which remembers previous values.
