ABCinChina Posted November 14, 2008 at 07:45 AM Report Posted November 14, 2008 at 07:45 AM That must be a doctor's handwriting for some medicine prescription. (Am I right?) Quote

imron Posted November 14, 2008 at 07:58 AM Report Posted November 14, 2008 at 07:58 AM Initially I could only make out: 乳* * * * * * * *(黄色) * * 无 * *(过*) * * * * * 一 * * * * Quote
chenpv Posted November 14, 2008 at 08:05 AM Report Posted November 14, 2008 at 08:05 AM I'd say it is all about familiarity. The more you read Chinese in its cursive form, the better you will make out these characters. Grab a Chinese student and let him deciper any personal signatures you guys produce, I am sure you will feel much better after that. Quote
rezaf Posted November 14, 2008 at 09:16 AM Author Report Posted November 14, 2008 at 09:16 AM Thanks, doctors have the worst handwritings in all the languages that I know, but combined with hanzi it reaches a new level of disaster. Quote
AxelManbow Posted November 15, 2008 at 02:30 PM Report Posted November 15, 2008 at 02:30 PM A friend recently returned to Ireland. He'd been treated in China for a serious medical condition, took his medicine and medical records with him. Not one Chinese doctor or medical student in the university could even understand a few characters to eek out meaning. Get important stuff typed. Quote
chenpv Posted November 15, 2008 at 02:38 PM Report Posted November 15, 2008 at 02:38 PM For clarification, those characters were written in good cursive condition. Quote
xiaocai Posted November 16, 2008 at 11:05 AM Report Posted November 16, 2008 at 11:05 AM Not one Chinese doctor or medical student in the university could even understand a few characters to eek out meaning. Really? Even I who has almost no medical science background could figure out almost all three items (without knowing what exactly they are though). Well, I said almost because I didn't know the existence of the character "吖"... And same as chenpv, I'd say this is considered good hand writing. If you go to the hospital more often, which I hope you won't have to, you will see much more terrible ones compared to this. But I agree that all the scripts should at least have a computerized duplicate just in case of, you know, Murphy's law. Quote
