I know this is an old topic but I want to point out that cursive writing costs lives. At least 26% of pharmacists reported illegible prescriptions as a common cause of medication dispensing errors

Can I have a show of hands from my fellow health care workers on the danger and illegibility of handwritten doctor prescriptions and medication charts?

Yes? Hello? Anyone else there?

Anyway, seeing as my full-time job is to decrypt the handwriting of the professionals whose terrible penmanship is so legendary it's practically illegal to write any other way, I think I can safely vouch for supporting clear print and typed documents.

Of course one of the secrets they don't want you knowing is that the terrible handwriting is really just a way to avoid showing they can't actually spell half the drugs they prescribe.
Holy thread necro batman!

Also, self-quotes FTW.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

All I'm saying is that you need good secretaries with cursive to stop bad doctors with cursive
