What took them so long?!?!?!
Finally, someone has launched a grassroots campaign that can really change our health system. A story today talks about how people are going to walk into doctor's offices with stickers demanding legible writing on prescriptions. Experts believe it'll reduce medical mistakes -- getting the wrong drugs when a pharmacist misreads the physician's handwriting.
Doctors are notorious for their bad penmanship. Apparently they never practiced it in grade school. While we're at it, I think they should send some old-school nuns to the medical schools. (By the way, are there enough nuns left?) Not only would doctors'penmanship improve, but so would their spelling. I know because I'm a product of Catholic schools and if there was something the nuns hammered into our thick skulls, it was certainly that.

I am sorry to say that this topic is a little bit silly.
I don't care what my doctor's penmanship is like -- as long as the pharmacist can read it -- and if he/she can't -- they can always pick up the phone.
There are more pressing health care issues that we can discuss -- this one is not one of them.
