It is estimated that 7,000 people die yearly due to illegible doctor's writing, so enemyofpeace's question has some validity in it.

Funny enough... another doctors can read it and also pharmacist

BRATISLAVA:
It's pretty clear what is written there. The patient likely has a flu or some other discomfort with allergies. And a big headache.

I noticed the doctor prescribed both Loratadine and Piriton (Chlorpheniramine) at the same time.

What's that scribbled between piriton and tetracycline? Do Piriton and Loratidine work for allergies? I've got very terrible allergies to spores and dust. In full allergy mode, Actifed and Otrivin for me to stand a chance

Not all of them write like that.

Another one said it's flu.. .. When did it change from flu to eye problem?

carlleung:
The patient have eye problem, chloramphenicol eye drops was recommended

Enemyofpeace:
Can you read this handwriting? Does anyone understand what is written on the prescription form? Do they write like this deliberately for patients not to understand what they wrote?

I guess you complained of itchy eyes with pains




Chloramphenicol eye drops 2 drops 3 times daily for 2 weeks


Loratidine Tablet 1 twice daily for 5 days


Piriton tablet 1 daily for 3 days (I wonder why you will be given this with the above since they are both anti-histimines)


Vitamin C twice daily for 2 weeks (this isnt clear enough sha)

500mg Tetracycline twice daily for 5 days



400 mg Ibuprofen tablet twice daily for 5 days

[quote author=Enemyofpeace post=126360896]Can you read this handwriting? Does anyone understand what is written on the prescription form? Do they write like this deliberately for patients not to understand what they wrote?[/quite] I don't know why too

But there's no use writing like that because the prescriptions will still have their names written on them.

ibrocool:
Don't be fooled with the handwriting. It is a way of doing their mago mago so that the patient won't be able to easily decode what is written. Another reason they do it is to avoid people getting the drugs from pharmacy outside the hospital where it will be cheaper. I was given a prescription at General Hospital at General Hospital in Lagos some years ago. The pharmacist could not tell the name of all the drugs. I had to go back to all the hospital to get the remaining drugs.

That prediction is terminologies in medical field,.... medicine, pharmacy and nursing.

If u re not in that field u can't know it even if it's written clearly.

I can see almost all the Dr prescription...

😁😁😁

They attend special course units
for illegible calligraphic🖌️ writing ✍️✍️✍️





Truth though is that for 1st 3 years, the workload in medical school is heavy and
lecturers after lecturers just come and
dictate . If you are not a fast writer, you'll
get left behind in lecture notes & fast
writing sacrifices quality of the writing. That
is how it starts and remains with them.

Well said

make I list m.
chloramphenicol eyedrop
loratidine
piriton
tetracycline
ibuprofen

It is called 'doctor's griffonage.' Applied mostly to avoid people self medicating on their prescriptions.

I'm not a doctor but I understand everything there.



If you're in medical line you will understand them.

For you and everyone saying this is professional, I'm here to inform you that this is peak unprofessionalism.
First, you are not supposed to prescribe an medicine to a patient without discussion the effects, possible side-effects and dosage with them. So how the f**k are you writing sh*t they can't see in prescriptions?
Try that nonsense in any 1st world country and see the outcome.

wittywriter:
IGNORANCE @ it's Peak!
OP got me lol calling it difficult handwriting.

That's part of the professionalism in the medical sector.






Fixed


Wittyness.

1 Chloramphenicol Eye Drop 2 drops

2 Loratadine Tablet (not sure)

You do well. So I should not understand a directive to apply drugs into my own body?

What if he's telling the pharmacist to add 2Miligramme of poison and tear the paper that would have been an only evidence?

Chlorophenicol
Loratadine
Puriton
Tetracycline
Ibuprofen

I wonder too, both are antihistamine

That is how they trained them in the university/ medical school to write

carlleung:
The patient have eye problem, chloramphenicol eye drops was recommended

plus ibuprofen

FreeStuffsNG:
The handwriting is clear and legible to the Pharmacist enough that he can interpret and correct errors and intervene if the treatment goals are not clear or going to counter one another leading to wastage of time and resources. It is also necessary for regulatory filing just in case a case comes up

Most professionals do not have great handwriting. I have met few exceptions though and I still marvel at their beautiful handwriting till date.

In this prescription, there are already errors on it and a Pharmacist must intervene. If not, that patient is just wasting his time and money
Most people are in hospitals to manage the side effects of their medications and that's why you need the Pharmacist to see your prescription first and foremost even before getting and/or taking your medications. Prescription errors are not uncommon.

The only error here is the Anti histamine .
Is either u want to give loratidine or piritin since they are same drug except that piritin as sedative as side effect..

A pharmacist can not just be correcting the drug since he or she did not know d px and the complains or commodity...but can discuss with the doctor to arrive just for the px sake

Enemyofpeace:

Drugs prescribed here are readable:. Priton Tetracycline Ibuprofen,. Chloramphenicol etc
Tds Three times daily
BF breakfast and dinner

nooo,the patient had eye issue

They do it on purpose so you takt ir to the pharmacy direct to avoid self medication.

For example:
The first one is chloramphenicol tablet 2days

ebig21:

I can see those drugs na
Loratidine, cholaramphenical, piriton, ibuprofen

Tetracycline

These are signatures not any particular kind of writings or so I thought.
