The following is a copy of two doctors’ explanations of the scrawled handwriting. I hope it will be helpful to you: 1. Because in the experience of medical practice, doctors write a huge amount. Before the popularization of electronic medical records, resident doctors had to write 5 or 6 minutes of medical records every day. Each case was about 3,000 words long. If they couldn't finish writing at work, they would have to work overtime. If they couldn't finish writing today, they would have to write tomorrow. There will be so much waiting to be written tomorrow. , and besides writing cases, there are a lot of other things to do every day... Most of the content in the cases is indispensable and repetitive content. I always write the same words and sentences. If I write too much, I will only have myself. I understand. Therefore, doctors’ cursive handwriting and weird self-created abbreviations are many because they write the same thing too much. My handwriting was originally very good, but one day my family looked at what I had written and asked: What is this all about? can't read! It suddenly dawned on me that I had been assimilated... Doctors should not change their handwriting if it doesn't look good. This phenomenon will be improved step by step with social progress. As for saying it is a "code word", saying that doctors "deliberately write unclear words for fear of taking medical responsibility", and "fearing patients to buy medicines themselves" are all unfounded speculations by ordinary people. I had similar thoughts when I was a child. When I study medicine, Only then did I know the secret... 2. Let me talk about why doctors’ handwriting is so hard to read. In fact, I am a doctor. My handwriting has always been good. I once participated in a calligraphy competition and won an award. But I also have the same problem, that is, the handwriting on the prescription is too hard to read. In fact, it’s not common for people. As mentioned, for confidentiality reasons, etc., the main reason is that when I write, my thoughts are mainly on the patient's condition, and my hands follow my thoughts very quickly when writing. Another point is that most of what we write are medical terms, and most people don't If you don’t understand it, you can’t “guess” it. If we doctors write a letter, even if it’s very sloppy, I think most people can still recognize it.
