Most prescriptions in doctors' medical records are in Latin, abbreviated or English, which is impossible for laymen to understand without professional training. But for a trained pharmacist, it seems that it can take a lot less effort. In addition, pharmacists and doctors have been involved for many years, so their familiarity with each other is also very high.
The reasons why doctors can't understand the scrawl are:
1. The biggest reason why doctors scribble is that they are busy. Doctors see patients ranging from dozens to hundreds a day. If every word is carefully written for you, it will take a long time, and the content repetition rate is relatively high. Doctors will lose patience if they write too much. Therefore, in order to catch up with the speed of seeing a doctor, and in order to save more time, the handwriting is more and more scribbled.
2. Repeated fidgety work. The symptoms of patients admitted to each department are not much different, and at most 2 kinds of drugs are often prescribed. So, although the patients are different, there is not much difference in the words that need to be written on the medical record. May I ask, if you write a lot of roughly repeated words for years, will you still write so standard?

4. The doctor's handwriting is not a "patent" in China, and it also exists in foreign doctors. However, medical records are always an important work for patients to see a doctor and hospital management, and doctors' handwriting also has great influence factors. Therefore, in order to reduce medical accidents, China's current "Medical Record Writing Standard" and "Prescription Management Measures" have also made provisions requiring doctors to write neatly, clearly and accurately. Otherwise, the health administrative department can give punishment.
