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 are illegible.
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 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!
