You select two different appointments that have the same date:

SELECT s1.patient_number AS pn, s1.time AS t1, s2.time AS t2,
s1.duration AS d1, s2.duration AS d2
FROM schedule s1, schedule s2
WHERE s1.time=s2.time AND s1.time=<today's date>
AND s1.patient_number=s2.patient_number
AND s1.patient_number=<ID of patient of interest>
AND s1.id!=s2.id
AND s1.doctor_number!=s2.doctor_number

Of course, those times don't work that way, b/c they have date *and* time,
and you want to deal with date only. I'm not into advanced SQL, perhaps there
is an SQL function to only extract and use the date part.

You then would need to PHP-fiddle the time and duration together for only
those appointments that are today in a nested for-loop.
