Her friend was flabbergasted, "It is something personal. You should read it yourself." "I can’t make out his handwriting," replied the girl. "He is a doctor."
According to a report, doctors’ illegible writing causes 7,000 deaths in US every year, and many patients can get even sicker due to the wrong medication. Not that Indian doctors have very good handwriting. On the contrary, if doctor has good handwriting, people start doubting his/her competency. I know a quack who took a month’s crash course in writing illegibly to look like a genuine doctor. In India, a movement has begun asking doctors to write prescriptions in separate capital letters. A patient said to a doctor, "Sir, if you don’t mind, please write the prescription in capital letters." The doctor said, "If you don’t mind, you also write your cheque in capital letters. Last time your cheque bounced back." The patient replied, "So did my disease!!!"

A girl, accompanied by
her close friend, went to a chemist shop. The chemist asked,
"Which medicine do you want, madam?" The girl took out her
fiancé’s letter from her purse and asked, "Could you do me a
favour by reading out this love letter for me?"
There’s not much risk
involved in having your letter read out by a chemist but there’s
much risk involved when a chemist grapples with an illegible
prescription of a doctor.
