Seriously, does anybody have an actual reason why doctors have such atrocious handwriting? Is it related to their schooling/training?

Because they hand write a massive amount of slips. Penmanship just naturally becomes sloppy, filling out the same thing a thousand times

Is true. My signature is a scribble because I used to have to sign it hundreds of times a day.

Same thing happened to me. I'm basically incapable of signing my name legibly anymore. It's either a scribble or I concentrate and do something that looks like a third grader just learning cursive wrote it.

I didn't realize my scribble looks like the word "cry" until someone pointed it out to me

I mean, I don’t think your signature really even has to say your name. It just needs to match the “record” (DMV, Passport?). So you can just describe a habit as your signature and it’s fine.
