My nephew was getting married to a doctor's daughter.
At the wedding reception, the father of the bride stood to read his
toast, which he had scribbled on a piece of scrap paper. Several
times during his speech, he halted, overcome with what I assumed was
a moment of deep emotion.
But after a particularly long pause, he explained, "I'm sorry. I
can't seem to make out what I've written down."
Looking out into the audience, he asked, "Is there a pharmacist in the house?"
As a pharmacist, now retired, I was asked on several occasions to decipher notes. As part of our final exam, we were asked to read difficult scripts that had been kept for that purpose. The pharmacists of today get it easy with computer written scripts. A friend of mine maintained that doctors spent 6 weeks of their course learning to write poorly.
as a retired pharmacist you will have worked with doctors from the pre-Whitlam free university education era, where medicine was an option for those who failed first year science :rolleyes:
