Possible reasons:
- Doctors deliberately make their writing difficult to read so that patients can't read the prescription (or their notes) and get silly ideas into their heads about understanding their own case.
- During their schooling they have to write class notes so fast that they tend to develop personal shorthand that can't be read by anyone but themselves.
- Sometimes, doctors are not sure of the spelling and so just write it in a messy way.
- The reason could be any of these - tremendous work pressure at OPDs, especially in government hospitals, exhaustive paperwork or plain carelessness.
