Claims
-
A comparison of 140 right-handed participants from seven occupations (accountant, attorney, automobile technician, builder, engineer, doctor, scientist) writing a cursive sentence in under 17 seconds found no significant difference in legibility between doctors and the other occupations.
"Our study agrees with Berwick and Winikoff that doctors' handwriting is no less legible than that of other occupations"
