The American Medical Association and other healthcare-related
organizations do feel increasing concern over the notorious badness of
most doctors' handwriting - which has actually killed people, led to
"death-by-handwriting" malpractice-suits, imperiled the accreditation
of certain hospitals, etc. (The Joint Commission on the Accreditation
of Healthcare Organizations [JCAHO] has - and increasingly exercises -
the power to "prescribe" better-handwriting classes for MDs whose
handwritings and/or signatures prevent easy decipherment. More and
more, JCAHO makes this a condition for accrediting or re-accrediting a
hospital.] In fact, I get about 90% of my income from hospitals that
hire me to teach the MDs how to write legibly (and how to keep their
writing legible at emergency-room speed: a lot of
handwriting-instruction fails when the student gets out of the
classroom and faces the high-speed, high-stress demands of "life after
school.").
