   My doc must’ve slipped under the radar – he’s perfectly legible.

   My doctor’s scrips are legible for the dosage and strength, but the actual drug’s name may as well be written in Farsi.

   I hear they are coming out with the new lightweight microcircuit model; it’s the size of a watch.

   My surgeon uses a preprinted form and just circles what he wants to have happen, then signs.

   The device says Scrambler. So was his legible before?

   Wasn’t sure which way it worked lol … a DEscrambler would be useful too

   This rather obscure topic was used, in another strip, just 2 days ago. Coincidence?

   No written prescrips where I go. It’s all e-mailed to your pharmacy. Go pick it up when you want it.

   The dermatologist that I see is in a group that has prepared a half-sheet of paper with everything they have ever prescribed in the practice with checkboxes.

   That the nurse fills in.

    You think that jokes based on doctors having illegible handwriting are “rather obscure”? Seriously???
    
    Googling “doctor illegible handwriting jokes” comes up with 509,000 hits. Yeah, that’s “rather obscure”…

    I checked with a colleague, a psychiatrist in Rio de Janeiro, he says that stereotype is universal – and frequently true.

    Gee, when I run that, it only says 506,000 — with the quote marks, none. Funny thing is when I Google doctor illegible handwriting, the count is only 204,000. How can the count be lower? If it found all 4 words, it had to find my subset. So much for your Google count example.

    I wonder if they make and sell a de-scramble to read it.
