This story is a first (and easy) step to #23. It may be enough, so let's try it.
The @hospital.smoketest decorator marks objects as is_healthcheck and is_smoketest. So it will be possible to collect and run only smoketests.
import hospital
@hospital.smoketest
def test_http_200():
hospital.assert_http_response('http://example.com', status_code=200, timeout=1)
