about a year ago, a friend who works from Singapore now, was seeing if a 
handwriting detection paper notebook clipboard would
go down well in Australia.  you would still need a computer near the 
device to pickup what it was capturing from the paper pad.
The paper pad was about half A4 size. It was supposed to cost about $300 
, which is better than the +1000 I think it costs
for a tablet pc vs a notebook, but not sure about durability.

You could also get a camera and ask the secretary to photograph and 
upload the paper notes after each consultation.
That's a good way to get popular with the office staff  , not ;)
