> I was just looking over some notes doctors have written and noticed that they all have very bad handwriting.

Yes. They do.

>I can barely make out what it is they have written...

I have wondered if maybe that is the point...
To make precription forgery harder...
OTOH maybe it is to disguise their bad spelling ;-)

>Why are doctors able to get away with this?

I had wondered whether it may be expected...

>Maybe doctors have a certain personality that gives this this trait? I think it is more likely they had to learn to write extremely fast during medical school. :-P Just a wild guess.

Hmm. Nobody writes faster than me. Well... Not many people anyway. I would be willing to bet on that.

> It's not fair...I wanna use illegable handwriting...but I can't, my work won't be graded if the TA's can't read it. :-P

Heh heh. Yeah. I have learned to write both fast and legibly.
