For the end users they suggested, they do wear the same
style garment every day (uniform/lab coat/scrubs/etc.).

Oh, come on now.  The holder could be designed
as a sleeve attached to the inside of the garment sleeve,
ending in the area shown by the plastic window.  So the
user just slides the display down it in the morning, then
pulls it out by the cable after taking the garment off.
Maybe it is secured by snaps or velcro, and requires two
hands to secure or unsecure it.

Or maybe the hospital has some of their low-cost workers
insert and remove the displays so the doctors don't have
to, just as they don't have to clean their scrubs.

My doc uses a Fujitsu P1??? with touchscreen and wireless
card to fill out paperwork.  Security issues aside, if
someone who has been practicing for decades can get used
to that, surely medical workers can handle this.
