I do know where and when the doctors acquired ......................................................

 

It started when they stopped teaching penmanship in schools.  From first grade on, in this area, we were taught "penmanship", using the Reinhart Method until we got into high school.  I think it was a scheme hatched by forgers so that all handwriting was the same.
