Dear Hand Surgeons' Office

Never in my life have I seen so many forms in a medical office. Family medical history, insurance details, personal habits and the beginning of a litany of blame. Clearly they expect workman's compensation to be on the mind of every patient and they are assembling fodder for the ambulance chasers.

BUT the majority of the patients walked in with casts, bandages and useless hands, so since one can logically expect 50% of them to have injured the hand with which they write, couldn't there have been some indication of how they were supposed to complete their forms? Just asking.
