Which GUI control is suitable for this purpose?

I'm using winforms of .NET & C#. I'm developing a medical software. I need to implement "Patient History". When doctor enters the PatientID. All the previous appointment dates will be displayed in a side panel. These entries will dynamically fetched from the database. Interface will be more or less similar to Histroy in web browser. Except that I'm not going to use tree control and categorize entries into 'today' 'yesterday' 'older than 7 days' 'last week' etc..

What controls do I need to use. I'm not clear about this. If you have any better idea. Please mention.

It looks like there's a few different ideas given so far. How about mocking out each the ideas (on paper, or code if you've got time) and try to get a feel for which works best for you.
