doctor's handwriting

Causes

Calligraphy, that is a nice and clear letter - not the strongest side of doctors. Someone might note that the doctor is more important to properly treat than to write beautifully. This is true. But there are times when medical doodles people suffer. Where are the roots intricate letters doctors? It argued that illegible handwriting of medical doctors is formed on the student's Desk, as they need to commit a large amount of information in a short time.

The Handwriting of doctors has long been a joke among the people. But some people because of the unknown records not to of humor. For example, pharmacists sometimes can't first read the name of the drug, written in incomprehensible handwriting. And if read, it can read incorrectly.

For example, according to a study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences in the United States each year more than 7,000 people die from illegibility of handwriting of doctors. More than 1.5 million patients suffer from unclear abbreviations in the prescription, indications, dosage and illegible inscriptions.

In Russia, such statistics are not officially kept. However, there are cases when the patient of the Omsk region has filed a lawsuit against the doctor, the handwriting of which are unable to parse even judicial experts. Doodle the hapless doctor led to the tragic outcome of a woman after childbirth was in intensive care because of appendicitis, which was diagnosed and inaudible the doctor wrote. The court granted the petition and ordered the hospital to pay 100,000 rubles.

How to disassemble Doodle

While the state takes measures for the computerization of medical institutions, programmers have developed a ABBYY module FineReader MedText for that will allow you to decipher a doctor's handwriting in a medical direction or prescription. The patient needs only to scan a document and the program itself will disassemble Doodle, and write the results in the form of printed letters.

Will Help to decipher not very calligraphic handwriting and unknown to the General public kurukulasuriya - the scientific study of obscure records on the basis of strokes, lines, squiggles and serifs on the letters.

Enthusiasts among Internet users create pictures with so-called “medical” of an alphabet, a printed lowercase letter displayed corresponding to the handwriting of a doctor. Like the alphabet more laughable than providing real help. But to use it when no other choice is. Maybe it will help to disassemble indistinct letter from the attending physician.
