John Hancock Envelope Signature.jpg

A co-signature is that short blurb written by an attending physician at the end of an intern or resident's note. The most common co-signature usually says something like "I saw and examined the patient with the resident and agree with the findings and plan of care as outlined in the note above." This is boring. Consider adding some flare to the co-signature instead. Something like "I totally disagree with the resident, what a moron! Am I right?!"[1]


Fun Fact


On July 4, 1776, John Hancock's co-signature read, "I saw and examined the Declaration of Independence and agree with the findings and plan of care as noted by the delegates of the Second Continental Congress above" before signing his now famous signature.
