There's a clear difference between defense, mission critical software, and slip. Medical cannot tolerate bugs of this nature (it's literally illegal in many a jurisdiction), which accounts for part of the cost, the approach, and testing cycles.
Can we get there in the future - perhaps. But the accuracy needs to be much higher. I remember in the 90s when my father's clinic tried both Softvoice and Dragon. Comparing it to his receptionist typing out his notes, the accuracy was in the 80s - hence rejected. Just last week an AI startup here in Israel was kicked out of their HMO partner for having a transcription accuracy of only 92% in a mixed mode these where a doctor, patient, and caregiver are all in the room (think doctor + mom + kid)
For the curious - trained medical receptions have and maintain accuracy rates when measures of 97%. This is just transcription.
Hallucinating entire events is another, far worse thing.
