It was not your normal writing. It is part of your professional training which has now become second nature to you. The question is, why must you learn a new way to write in the first place? Why must you abandon your normal handwriting for a new illegible one? Do I have to write in your native language for you to understand?
Did you read the part of my earlier post where I said I changed it to adapt to the rigors of the training, during classes and ward rounds?
Do you experience this lapse in memory everyday or are you getting senile dementia everyday?

Did you read the part where I asked why you had to learn a new form of writing? Why you just had to be taught some new handwriting? To what purpose? While I know it's a deliberate measure to prevent patients from being able to read in order to avoid self medication which obviously have dire consequences, perhaps you don't even know, otherwise you would have included that in your defence. The sarcastic comment about 'docs collecting your money' was what irked you. You never stated the Purpose for your learning a new handwriting. Or you didn't read that part of my comment? You probably forgot. Do you experience this lapse in memory everyday or are you getting senile dementia everyday?

Because , you are not in the medical profession , that is the reason why you think it is very difficult. Secondly, all the medical terminologies on the prescription are use to make it difficult for the quark people to understand the purpose of the treatment.

Lol. I see youre as retarded in everyday convo as well as religious. I have explained why i have this handwriting. And from what I read here, I'm not the only one. You owe docs an apology for your accusation but knowing u, the sun has to turn to ice before you think of it. Good night

Not true. Especially the bolded. If so, we wouldn't be explaining the drugs to patients. If we wanted to hide it from them, why explain?
The terminologies is to make the prescriptions quicker and easier, and to write as many as possible in a short time.

Lol. I see you're as retarded in everyday convo as well as religious. You are even a misfit for your profession. Stating that you learnt the handwriting from med school to re-echo what I already stated did not add any value to the conversation. I even added more value to help you know why you learnt what you learnt, but being a dullard, you didn't seem to grasp anything. I owe docs no apology since you never explained anything. Who doesn't know you learnt it from med school? No one asked you to explain why you have the handwriting, the purpose of the handwriting is the crux of the matter. You're just too dull. You owe me an apology for your insults but knowing u, the sun has to turn to ice before you think of it. Good night.

The writing is quite clear.
Patient has itchy inflamed eyes suspected to be allergy, stomach upset and body/headache.

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?

You still don't understand.
Someone with viral conjunctivitis has hyperlacrimations(excessive eye secretions) and gritty eyes, and thus would rub his eyes to clear them and reduce the pain, itchiness and fluid. Now he'll come to the hospital and open the doors with virus(and bacteria superinfection) laden hands. The next patient with something different like malaria comes, opens the same door and picks up some virus. Then rubs his eyes or nose, few days later gets it. He may also pick it if he borrows a pen or a personal object from the conjunctivitis guy. Would you say the second person(malaria patient) has poor hygiene?
That's why I regularly wipe down my consulting room door handles with spirit swab after I get these cases. To prevent the next patient picking it up

It is down to poor hygiene. The person with excess lacrimation ought to wash their hands with antiseptic soaps or better still catch the liquid with something absorbent and disposable. And people should know by now that there are viruses and bacteria lurking on nearly every surface and wash their hands frequently. By now everyone ought to wear a mask in public and make use of hand sanitizers. It's a hygiene thing.

The person with conjunctivitis is unhygienic to touch everywhere with their effluent. And the person without it is responsible for themselves, to protect themselves from it. I have seen people with the condition and I can only conclude that it is caused by poor hygiene on their part, and ignorance of their poor hygiene by others.

I think it's because they write too much. They no longer care about the legibility as it may slower their writing pace. They write too much. Trust me.

@bolded. You're wrong.

I went to a federal medical center sometime last two years and the doctor prescribed some medications for me. He directed me to a specific pharmacy. On getting there, the quack auxiliary nurse seems not to understand the handwriting. She called the doctor for explanation.

I later found out the doctor is the owner of the pharmacy.

The guy might be right though
May be the said auxiliary nurse is an olodo
I worked at the hospital not as doctor or nurse I can boldly tell you what is written up there from beginning to the end….

Stop abusing me Ok. Medical profession is a noble one and as a professional you don't abuse. As part of the code of conduct , you are supposed to be tolerant. That is my thought and if you are submitting your views, you need to be objective and tolerant. I belong to the profession and I am very humble in my practice. You don't need to impose your write up on me as the right answer. When you were in the college of medicine , do you argue patient case note the same during ward round. When a consultant is doing ward round , during your housemanship, do you expect your colleagues to present their views as yours. What is the reason for MTD meeting. This is a forum that brings diverse professionals together and we are here to share opinions. You behave.

I think the reason is that their brain is working too fast for the normal writing to cope,so in trying to match the processing speed of the brain the writing has to be fast,so you get such
