No trouble, just an opportunity for improvement :-)

By the way, it is clear to me from

        "So I would ask the other 2 doctors..."

that you did not wish to limit this reply to me. The GNUmed list by  
default replies to "sender" not to list, you would need to "reply  
all" to make sure the list gets included.

When you say "we are discussing save" there are some dependencies  
which are part of the problem. Maybe they can be "unpacked":

1. The enablement of "caching" or "two-stage saves" of progress  
notes, so that a visit can be "paused" and permit work on other  
patients to be done before coming back to the "paused" patient.

2. The ability to correct something (whether this is a typo or  
anything more significant) after a note had been written / saved /  
signed.

Hopefully the above are enough detail of examples?

In GNUmed it is AFAIK only possible to emulate #1 by leaving one  
instance of the client in memory and minimizing or docking it, while  
opening and working from a second instance of the client in which  
other patients could be worked on. I will stop here until other parts  
of the discussion catch up.
