They should ask a medical school for help ;)

My family is Ivy-League, all the way, and has the worst goddamn cursive writing I've ever seen. It can take me an hour to read a Christmas card from my sister.

I've always wondered how pharmacists can read those prescriptions. There must be some kind of course in university that they followed.

  • I think with experience they know how each medicine is usually written? It's often easier to listen/read when you already know what it is about.

  • A lot of it is understanding the abbreviations.
