Why Doctors Have Illegible Handwriting

Doctors have atrocious penmanship because nobody will notice when they misspell the very long names of generic prescriptions. The brand name prescriptions are much easier to spell, yet nobody can afford them. Insurance companies rarely pay for a brand name drug when a generic alternative is available. You might think you have excellent health insurance coverage, until you have to use it. People have health insurance to protect themselves, but insurance is big business. Bean-counting fools that aren't even doctors are making life-altering decisions. When choosing your health insurance, be afraid. Be very afraid.
