It was difficult for me to read what is written in the prescription of a doctor, previously. Now i am able to read it, thanks to medical transcription training i had. How about you? Does your doctor's writing legible or difficult to read?

I think that those doctors need to learn how to write well that can be read and understood. I don't understand most of their handwriting and most of the time, I needed an interpreter to be able to understand. I don't find a good logic why most of those doctors don't know how to write legibly when in fact, we learn in grade 1 to write properly where it is clear and easily understood by those who read. It might be a code for them for us not to understand, but I just don't like it that way and prefer for them to improve it!lol

I bet almost everyone that never have being trained about this, cannot read a doctor's prescription. I have being studying pharmacy technician for a year now and I still got lots of problem with these reading. almost half is guessing what they wrote lol XD I do think the doctors should use computer to print it or learn how to write better as well... not like it take much more time to write proberly.

hello snake queen,
well the doctors prescriptions are sometimes the most difficult thing to read on ...... the pace with which they write and the handwriting that put on sometimes are either annoying and sometimes very confusing.
but the real problem is that they sometimes can lead to getting the wrong kind of drugs if they are wrongly read. and it may lead to more problems than they can solve.
but some of the doctors have a very good handwriting.

anyways have a very good day.
