I have a simple question:

Why did the doctor dot the “i” in his first name, but not either “i” in his last name?

Physicians often have such irregularities in signatures. It assists with catching forgeries for fraudulent prescriptions, so that might be why. Many people leave off all or some of the tittles in their signatures.

I am not a physician, but I put two dots in my signature where there’s no “i”—it’s a distinctive mark. With a pattern of such “stray” dots, I can demonstrate that if a signature is missing it, then it’s a forgery. (Based on a single copy of my signature, one might think the dots are just a stray mark because they don’t belong; thus, they might not be copied.) No, it’s not perfect, but it did work for me once.

I don’t know but I do the same thing with my full first name Christina? Just a lazy habit I guess?
