There's quite a few date fields. I'd like a dropdown for them, where the used can scroll and click on a date. This seems like a ridiculously common thing. Is it an available 'thing' on Acrobat? Where would I find it?

It seems like a common enough requirement for forms that it would be something preset and 'plonkable'.

Notes
The two things that are going to help the community of anesthesiologists adopt ultrasound this way are its “plunkability” and the “knobology.” They are going to demand a plunkable device, meaning that you put the probe on, turn on the machine, and you’re good to go. And it has to be simple — the less “knobology” [buttons and knobs] the anesthesiologist has to learn, know or master, the better.
