Take it from someone who works with the health care industry very intimately (US Health care that is) - they don't. They want everything to occur with one click, and the easier the better. They don't like complexity and don't care for the ability to do more than one thing at one time - especially when liability is on the line if a mistake is made. I've seen doctors ask for workstations that cost upwards to $30000 and all they do on it is put their coffee cup on the top of it and browse the Wall Street Journal. A machine, whether it be a laptop, desktop or whatever, is just a tool. The simpler and easier it is for them to pick up and use, the better.
Most of the remarks so far have been comparing it to the netbook and laptop replacements, or even desktop replacements. That's a pretty limited and short sighted view as to what this device can do and its potential applications.

1 of the main issues? multitasking, doctors actually run a number of things at a time when they're with a patient
and im pretty sure my dentist cousin doesnt realize how inhibited he'll be due to no flash since most of what he uses comps for is flash oriented
