agree  Ingeborg Gowans (X): this could be it; meager context, bulimic?
43 mins
  -> thanks Ingeborg ... would be fairly logical I would say :)

disagree  Steffen Walter: The fact that a date of birth is mentioned in the next line points to "test patient".
53 mins
  -> I agree Steffen, now this makes sense :)
