Answer 1

Most answers have something right. I want to add my most important reason (as a doc): Speed and repetition. It might be the most important document for that specific patient’s life, but I have already re-written like 90% of it, another 10 times that day, for months and months. I just don’t finish the word and just scribble due to fatigue of writing the same stuff over and over.
