handwritten

I think the first post regarding this said they needed to be "handwritten letters..." -- (did I imagine this?)...I can't tell you how much I am avoiding doing this because these days, if I can't type it, it won't get done. The idea of writing out pages of text with a pen is less than appetizing.

If I can send something typed (I will hand-sign it, though!) I'll be more likely to get off my butt about this.

not sure about handwritten but...
I know some of the hospitals that people I know work for, they use all computerized "forms" basically... it seems pretty generic to me but I guess that's fine for some places.
Do most companies require you to keep a handwritten log?

Transcribing from handwritten notes
Just wondering if anyone has every transcribed from a doctor's handwritten notes? If so, how did this work out? If the doctor's handwriting is legible, does this compare, time-wise, to transcribing from dictated files? Anyone ever do this?

Thanks in advance.
I have transcribed from handwritten notes
and it was a nightmare.  Sometimes the info was missing and my neck hurt like heck looking down and up, down and up.  I charged per page.  This dr went from dictating to these 5 page forms that he would fill out when he saw the patient.  He scribbled and it was horrible.  It wrecked my neck, so I gave it up.  I was better off straight transcribing at lower pay than when I had to keep looking up and down from a page and no a stand for the forms didn't help because my eyes kept leaving the monitor, so it was hard to get back in gear only to have to take my eyes back to the handwritten form. 
you get irritated because you can't spell check your handwritten letters
