The set-up is this: Guy acquires massive trauma to his entire body, including a skull fracture. He wakes up (eventually) with Hollywood-style amnesia. No real medical knowledge needed there; that part's just your usual cliche. But I'm trying to stick in some genuine massive-bodily-injury details along with the made-up crap, adding artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative and all that.
So here's the question- part of the effects of the head injury is that he lost the ability to read and write and has to relearn. Would his handwriting be different as a result? Logic says it would, but since when has logic had anything to do with what really happens?
