Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / February 2007bad handwriting
I know that it is traditionally difficult to read the handwriting of doctors but during the past several months I have been asked to sign stuff written by two different dentists. In the first instance I was able to read what they had written after much difficulty but today I was totally unable to read it but did see something in the first sentence about "pain" - "upper tooth". My problem had nothing to do with my upper teeth. The dentist did not ask me to sign it, the receptionist did when I was making the appointment for my next visit. I told her that I could not read it and she could not read it either and the dentist was already with another patient so I did not sign it. What is going on and why are they doing this?

At least on this side of the Atlantic. I thought the illegible handwriting thingy was reserved for medical doctors. >On Feb 24, 1:48 am, nos...@aol.com wrote: >> I know that it is traditionally difficult to read the handwriting of doctors but [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >print-out?

I'm on the west coast and last week was the first time I was given a computer print out prescription on an 8x10 sheet instead of the little prescription paper of yesteryear, and the only thing illegible was the doctor's signature, as usual. Much better because I could actually read what the prescription was and when to take it, etc... Also, this way the doctor has a computer record of what he actually signed.

Which dental school is providing your dentistry?

But still, I'm wondering which dental school you're going to for your care. Maybe it's just none of my business! I don't think it would jeopardize your privacy as a patient, but maybe you feel it would.
