Our doctors are spoon fed. We call them on the phone and clarify if we can't figure it out, and then we re-write it for them. ! They are spoiled.When they write so that I can't read it I ring them and demand that they return and rewrite it so I can read it, as nothing will be done until it is legible. When they return I sit beside them and tell them how offended I am. I also tell them that if they can't operate a pen its difficult to imagine that they can operate a needle or a scalpel. I tell them I mastered the art of writing before I was 7, everything I wrote then was legible.
After that, I have no problem.
I loved it when one wrote digesic illegibly, I rang him and suggested that the doses for the digoxin he ordered were wrong. He was there beside me rapidly, collecting his serve. "Have we saved a life?" I asked him. How lucky it was he didn't have to write Dextropropoxyphene hydrochloride 32.5mg/paracetamol 325mg.
