GNUmed 0.2 can do that.

As long as you can guarantuee that both of you will not edit
the same *patient* concurrently this is quite doable. One
might simply write a "complete-patient" ex-/importer and run
that after the off-site visit to sync the two databases.

In GNUmed I would implement it like this:

The laptop has a synced copy of the database when the
off-site visit starts.

When a patient is edited on the laptop that patient is
marked as changed.

Back in the main clinic I would export all changed patients
and re-import them into the main clinic database
*overwriting* the existing (old) records of those patients.
The same procedure could be done vice-versa.

Others may have better ideas.
