nsr Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yes, it's in their contract. It's also the law that doctors have to drink to excess and use unsafe amount of recreational drugs. Surgeons are exempt from this, though they are required to shoot endangered animals at weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Why do all doctors have terrible handwriting? Shit stand-up comedians need something to riff on. Same reason that all airlines are duty-bound to serve atrocious cuisine, and people who work in an administrative capacity for the local council are legally required to be lobotomised before commencing their employment.

Albino Rover Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Why do all doctors have terrible handwriting? There are strict guidelines on this. All doctors must write in one of three styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Craig Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 There are strict guidelines on this. All doctors must write in one of three styles. Working in a hospital, I can vouch for the fact that some folks writing (my own included) is shocking. Even worse is I can read all three examples.

Tommy Nooka Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I know 4 Doctors and all of them have terrible handwriting, you can barely read their Christmas cards! I put it down to the fact they have to write a lot usually in a very short time. I know the faster I write the less legible it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock001 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Why do all doctors have terrible handwriting? Doctors are clever. They use their brains efficiently. To be perfectly efficient they'd use the minimum amount of concentration and brain power in writing, making it as illegible as possible while still readable to the people who need to. If your pharmacist can read your prescription, does it matter if you can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 It's actually poor practice for doctors to have shite/illegible handwriting. They are encouraged to write clearly or in block capitals. However putting that in practice isn't feasible when you consider the time restraints doctors are often under.

jmothecat Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 No. My girlfriend is a nurse and is surprised by how many nurses she knows who do smoke though. She can't believe they smoke considering they probably see more than most how much of an impact it has on one's health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
