Nurses and pharmacist have to read doctors' handwriting all the time-including prescriptions. Yes, the handwriting is pretty desperate and sometimes leads to mistakes. I know some retail pharmacies get prescriptions electronically these days from some docs. Hospitals are moving toward a electronic order process where the MD types in what they want. It solves a lot of problems. It creates some current ones as well as the human factor is always a variable.
Sure. However sometimes the handwriting may build it difficult. Source(s): PA
