I also remember not too long ago when doctors did this anyway, without any assistance from robots.

Or with assistance from other humans.

The last time I had surgery, every time I met with the surgeon (about six times), he had an intern following him around with a Thinkpad, typing in everything said.

The intern has the ability to understand context, idiomatic expressions, emotion, and a dozen other important and useful things that an AI transcription will never capture.

That’s probably not an intern. Doctors with enough pull can get dedicated scribes like this, but they aren’t cheap, which is why most doctors don’t get them.
