See some reactions below:

@hadro20: “If I work we with this person for one week, his handwriting go improve by force.”

@dearest_hanny: “Most groups are filled with…”please who can see the 3rd drug” Wo, back to sender, please.”

@chi_quiero: “This isn’t a baby scribbling?! It’s an actual prescription?!!!”

@DiekololaOlabi1: “I use to send patients back tho sometimes because why will you be writing like you are being chased. For Christ sake, I have seen prescriptions that are legibly written, why do you want me to strain my eyes and brain before understanding?”

@JardaniJovonovv: “Anyone that writes like this isn’t sure of the treatment, it’s plausible deniability in case anything goes wrong.”

@Talk2meeh: “I still don’t want to believe a doctor wrote this as medicine prescriptions.”

@Contrarianviewz: “I once asked a doctor friend why doctors’ handwriting is often illegible. His response was that if patients could easily read their prescriptions, they might bypass consulting a doctor to get the medications themselves.”

@Oslabies: “I use to doubt this until I experienced it myself, to my amazement the pharmacist understood what was written.”
