Ok, here is one way to do it:

You iterate over each row whose third cell has a rowspan attribute. This indicates the start of a new appointment. You can get the start time by examining the siblings (sort of) and the end time by getting the row that is rowspan - 1 elements away.

There might be better ways, but this might give you a start.

For example:

var find_closest_hour = function($row) {
    var $cell = $row.children('td:first-child'),
        hour = "";
    // probably add something here
    while($cell.length && !(hour = $.trim($cell.text()))) {
        $cell = $cell.parent().prev().children('td:first-child');
    }
    return hour;
};

var $all_tds = $('#tableAppointment tr td:nth-child(3)'),
    $tds = $all_tds.filter('[rowspan]'); 

// will contain a list of objects [{patient: name, start: time, end: time},...]
var appointments = $tds.map(function() {
    var $this = $(this),
        $row = $this.parent(),
        $cells =  $row.children('td'),
        patient = $.trim($this.text()),
        start = find_closest_hour($row).split(':', 1) + ":" + $.trim($cells.eq(1).text()),
        $end_row, end;

    if(this.rowspan == 1) {
        end = start;
    }
    else {
        $end_row = $all_tds.eq($all_tds.index(this) + this.rowSpan - 1).parent();
        end = find_closest_hour($end_row).split(':', 1) + ":" + $.trim($end_row.children('td').eq(1).text());
    }

    return {patient: patient, start: start, end: end};
}).get();

I will let you figure out how to format the times properly ;)

Note: This very much depends on your current table structure and is likely to break if you change it. To make things more flexible, you could add classes to cells that contain the important information, for example hour to each first cell that contains the hour of the day and appointment_start to the cell of an appointment. Then you could search for/filter by these.
