WHY do the vast majority of doctors sign their signatures in unreadable childish scrawl?
The most ridiculous one I ever saw was just a half inch straight line.
No doubt they have an armful of reasons and excuses as to why they do it. Two spring to mind: that they sign hundreds every day and it saves their precious time just doing a scribble, or by doing a quick scrawl their signature would be harder to forge – although that’s not the case in the half inch straight line signature mentioned above.
Doctors are by no means the only offenders who do this, but they are the most prolific.
It is silly, stupid, childish and irresponsible and is perpetrated by people who are snobs.
