I need to see if a patient has appointments with a
psychotherapist and a physician on the same day.

I request the schedule of each therapist and each physician as
arrays of arrays:
time, patient_number, duration (note, the therapist/physician id
is not in the array)
They are non-associative arrays (numeric keys)
I might have 1..n physicians and 1..n therapists
I can generate arrays of physicians and arrays of therapists

Option 1 is a nightmare of nested foreachs

I am sure there must be an array function that will permit this
check. AFAIK, the _intersect functions require the same date in
all, when what I want is "any".

my current thought is to create arrays of just pt_number, merge
the physician arrays, merge the therapist arrays, array_flip to
move the values to keys and then array_intersect.

But, before I try that I welcome any suggestions.
