Either repetition or intensity of experience leads to clear recollection of someone's chakra, especially for sensors. Orochimaru and Sasuke recognized Naruto's chakra in chapter 616. Orochimaru actually says, none of us are sensors, but points out this is Naruto's chakra.

Am I supposed to believe Minato, who's a ninja that's been in war and on multiple missions, never went to the hospital enough or worked alongside them in the field to recognize the chakra of at least a few medical nins? He somehow can't replicate what Orochimaru, who met Naruto only a few times, could do?

Lol what? Dude, Orochimaru has seen Naruto and witnessed his chakra. And Naruto's chakra was massive at the time he sensed it away from the battlefield, that's very different. This "we're not sensors but we can sense Naruto" is only a comment on the fact that Naruto was handling huge amounts of chakra.

That's like Orochimaru noticing Naruto screaming while in a crowd of people and recognizing his voice, and you thinking Minato should be able listen to the multitude of voices going off at the same time and be able to recognize things in a timely manner.

Plus, Minato died like 17 years earlier. Most medical nin may have been retired, and he was dealing with the ENTIRE Shinobi alliance; he has no idea who the medical nin of other countries are, and sifting through every single one of their chakras is a ridiculous thing to expect of any sensor short of a sage. And half of the Shinobi Alliance or more were dead at that point too, again decreasing the probability of him meeting a med he knew in life.
