Cedric, Many, like my mum's eye specialist have middle-aged dragons at the front desk who don't want anything more to do with computers either. Someone must do their BAS statements, bill their patients and type their reports, however. If most specialists have enough income to be inefficient in how they do these things, there isn't much hope. There are other examples, as I've said, but it sounds like you need to find other things to focus on over your way. Except, I've just remembered that Medemail is supposed to have GPs and specialists over Woolahra way. That hasn't spread to SESDGP?
