The thing about VDI is that you can't underprovision the client, but you can underprovision the server to a resonable extent. I've seen deployments who decide that it's a great idea to give Windows 10 VMs 2GB of RAM and 1vCPU, which turns the instance into a swapping mess. However if you give the users suitably sized VMs (e.g. 8G/4vCPU) then they will have the burst capacity for faster application loads and such while the server can remain overcommitted (it's rare that all users will need to use up all their vCPUs and memory at a given time).
However for doctors there may be another option aside from VDI, which is RDS or similar where a single Windows Server instance handles multiple remote desktops. Sort of like multiple users using SSH to connect into a shared Linux server. Unlike devs they can rely on a fixed image and don't need to make global changes, making a shared instance viable. This would allow the users to make better use of the compute resources on the server.
