Why do doctors and pharmacist write so terrible?

In case they make a mistake nobody would be able to prove it in court

They dont want you to be able to read what they said about you

(Actually even the pharmacist cant read it! The doctor just fakes you out with some scribbles, then calls the pharmacy and tells stories about you behind your back)

It comes from having to take so many notes while being bombarded with information that they have to write down. They write fast because they don't have a choice, that blackboard-- or white board these days, is filled with notes and information at the end of the class period, and the students are expected to have all of it written down.

to become a doctor or a pharmacist, you have to have 100 volts of constantly running electric current on your perky nipples

Most men in general write terrible. I've had female doctors who write very clearly.

Because they are real doctors and pharmacists and they don't care about neat handwriting, they care about SAVING LIVES.

If memory serves me correct, they are taught to write quickly, which thus inflicts on the appearance of their writing.

Because they don't know how to write - they fail their grade 1

Not all of them write terribly.

I thought they wrote in latin, and have to write sloppy so its harder to forge a prescription.
