Reading Poor Handwriting 


Lily: Can you make out what this says? 


Hassan: Geez, who wrote that? 


Lily: My doctor. She wrote down some instructions for me, but I can’t read her handwriting. 


Hassan: I have no idea what that chicken scratch says. 


Lily: I think that’s a “T,” but maybe it’s an “F.” 


Hassan: Face it. Those scribbles 1 are illegible 2. Why don’t you take a photo of that and email it to her nurse? Maybe she can decipher it for you. 


Lily: I feel like if I just keep at it, I’ll be able to work it out. 


Hassan: Patients shouldn’t have to try and read a doctor’s sloppy 3 writing. What if they misinterpret it and do the wrong thing as part of their treatment? 


Lily: This note isn’t that bad. I think I might have the first two words figured out already. 


Hassan: Then you’re better at reading bad penmanship than I am. Maybe you should have a try at these English essays. I have 60 of them to grade. 


Lily: Wow, looking at these, I’d say you have 60 future doctors in the making!
