40% of the visit is typing. They need to keep history, write the perscription etc. Nowadays they do that on PCs. Though I used to have a doctor that wrote everything on a typing machine. You'd tell him what's wrong and then he'd write it, often with tons of typos (he wouldn't start over). Obviously meds were always correct, it was just funny seeing a doctor butchering words and being unable to correct himself.

Funny, but also not. Just Googled because I couldn't remember:
"According to the Institute of Medicine, physician's illegible notes lead to approximately 7,000 deaths annually."
Seems unreal. Even if it was half that...that's a lot of people. If I was getting prescribed drugs, I want it LEGIBLE. Typed up would be great. I just don't trust that shit, and neither should any of you.
some said i was destined to be a doctor with my handwriting and family. i decided to break the cycle and become a videographer that barely scrapes by. my family is... they like the videos i make of our get togethers...
at least i haven't accidentally killed anyone.

Meanwhile, here in Sweden, when I get a perscription, my doctor types on his computer for five min, I then walk to any pharmacy, hand them my ID, of they have it they will offer a cheaper alternative, if they don't have any of the medicine, they will tell me which pharmacy does, if none has it they will order it for me.
Works for a couple of years in Poland. You give them your personal identity number and a 4 digit number you get from a doctor (or you can go to a government website and get it from your perscriptions directly) and you get your perscription. We also have websites dedicated to finding medication, available to everyone. You can even sometimes reserve it online.
It even works for animal medicine. My cat needed some and the pharmacy just ordered it!
Same here in Italy, but it took COVID to get them off their asses and finish the system for this that was already 90% there
Here in Germany it was introduced last year (I think). Heard it still causes trouble on the organization side, but as a patient it works great.

You don’t need prescription for paracetamol afaik, could be prescription strength I guess
If you need more than I think it's about 16 in a single transaction you do in the UK I think.
If it's in a hospital setting any medication given likely needs an MD order.
Or that you want to be able to put it through insurance / benefits.
Might not be a prescription, could be release forms or something like that
Or that, for sure
Decided to test a former pharm tech.
how
i guess the p and l are the important bits and the rest can just be inferred, since paracetamol is very commonly used and they'd get tired writing it in detail every time. other more specialized drugs with p___l (or close to it) as its name would have more squiggles i assume.
I get the L, but how did you get the P? At best it's an O, at worst it's a D.
The rest is just cursive shit idk
Ignore the left side of the oval, then you get a lower case p with a looong stroke down and a teeny tiny )-shape.
