Any Doctor's On Here?

[Alex H]

Do you get a course for that scribbly writing or does it come naturally?

I've just visited the doc's for the first time in a long time and got a 'prescription' for blood tests. I'd seen the normal UK docs bad writing before, but as my doctor is now French AND left-handed............ You ain't seen nothing like this. Amazingly the girl in the blood clinic had no problems reading it, maybe she's been on the course as well

It is ilegible so that if you ever get sued then no-one can disprove what you claim to have written

I have actually been asked by my GP what my consultant wrote in one of his letters to them, that I hand delivered (needed the medication immediately) because the writing was that bad. I only knew because I had been there when he had written it out!

Mine wasn't too bad:



Although I have no idea what I have taken.

A big courgette I think...

I am certain I can see the phrase "courgettes 7.5 x 7.5" in there!

It took 3 members of staff at the local pharmacy to decipher the scrawl on my last prescription. I got it following an outpatient's appointment - I think the introduction of printed prescriptions has been a boon to the poor people who have to give out the correct medication but means they're out of practice when it comes to The Scrawl.

You don't swallow them, they are suppositories

I was a nurse for almost 20 years and have seen some really un-decipherable hand writing in my time!
The only time you really see it handwritten here now is a private prescription, or a prescription from the dentist.
The prescriptions have to be legible or the pharmacist can reject them.

That's it!
All French prescriptions involve a Holy Trinity of:

1. Injections
   
2. Pills
3. Suppositories.

They don't feel cured without all 3.

That's only in Germany if the videos are anything to go by.........

Why is there an apostrophe in the title (Doctor's)? ;-)

Why is there an apostrophe in the title (Doctor's)? ;-)

'Cause I like them and so that people like you don't get left out

Don't forget, he has given you 1 like too so must be a regular facebook type, and you have a Pendant, or is he saying you maybe pedantic...........

The French only use metric, so it'll be 7.5cm x 7.5cm tiddlers, rather than English 7.5 inch x 7.5 inch whoppers.

that was a close quotation mark but I can see what you are getting at. I left before I had chance to say I hope the measurement for the suppository was in mm not cm!
