Why is the handwriting illegible when doctors write medical records?

The following are two doctors' explanations of graffiti that I copied, hoping to help you: 1. Because in the experience of medical practice, the amount of writing by doctors is very huge. Before the popularization of electronic medical records, residents had to write medical records for 5 or 6 minutes every day, each case was about 3,000 words, and they had to work overtime if they couldn't finish it. If they can't finish it today, they have to work tomorrow, and there are many other things to do every day besides writing cases ... Most of the contents in the cases are indispensable repetitions, and they always write many same words and sentences, which only they can understand. Therefore, the doctor's cursive script and his own eccentric abbreviations are mostly because he writes too much about the same thing. I used to write very well, but one day my family looked at my handwriting and said, "What are these written?" ? Don't understand! It suddenly dawned on me that I was assimilated ... if the handwriting is not good, the doctor should not change it. This phenomenon will gradually improve with social progress. As for saying "code words", saying that doctors "deliberately can't write clearly, afraid of taking medical responsibility" and "afraid of patients buying their own medicine" are all unfounded speculations of ordinary people. I had a similar idea when I was a child, and I didn't know the secret until I studied medicine. Let me tell you why the doctor's handwriting is difficult to read. Actually, I'm a doctor. My handwriting has always been very good, and I once won a prize in a calligraphy competition. But I also have the same problem, that is, the handwriting on the prescription is too difficult to read. Actually, it's not what people often say, to keep it secret. Mainly because my thoughts are mainly on the patient's condition when I write, and my hands follow my thoughts very quickly when I write. Another point is that most of what we write is medical terminology, which most people don't understand and can't be helped.
