My only suggestion would be that it would have been great if it popped up with what I had to do for each patient, because it's hard to remember. So if I picked up a yellow patient it would say \"DRIVE SAFE\" or something like that.\n\nAnyway, well done, and keep up the great work. :D","likes":5,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Owen Rees","author_uid":"1121032","time":"2020-04-22T08:11:32Z","epoch":1587543092,"modified":1587543092,"text":"I manange to get a score of 8 on my first try.
