Wrong medicine dispensed because of doctor's bad handwriting

WRONG MEDICINE. A housewife is thinking of taking legal action against a drugstore whose salesgirl made a mistake in filling the prescription for a medicine she bought. She said the prescription was for arthritic pain but she was given a medicine for urinary tract infection. "The error was committed because the doctor's handwriting could hardly be read," she said. "Unta wa lang magpataka og hatag sa medisina. Gitawgan unta ang doktor nga naghatag sa resita," the housewife stressed.

BAD HANDWRITING: The same housewife asked: "Tuyoon ba gyud na sa mga doktor nga ngil-aron ang ilang agi?" She said there ought to be a law penalizing doctors who write like chicken scratches on their prescription pad. "Kinabuhi sa pasyente ang nakataya," she said.
