yeah... i was a medic in the army and spent 6 months of those 30
months in the dispensary...
strangely, all the doctors who came and went (even those on duty
from other units) had pretty horrific handwriting 
i remember one of them could not decipher his own prescription form
(he admitted it in private when chitchatting and said he had to
read the diagnosis
)
which brings me to this: for docs with bad handwriting, since
medication is so important that it could be life or death to a
patient, take 2 seconds more to write properly.. doesn't hurt
right?
