Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
to get creative with the word “cacography”.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s where the prompt took me.
Like most doctors, my surgeon had a very bad case of cacography which explains why I was shit-faced most of the time.
The pharmacist misread my prescription and gave me Tramadol instead of Tylenol!

My application to medical school was rejected because my handwriting was too legible.

That’s so funny! Why do medics have such difficulty writing legibly? Perhaps I should have been a doctor, you should see my scribblings!

Hahaha! Good question. My husband has a theory: Doctor’s handwriting is illegible because they are in a hurry to get to the next patient; the more patients they see, the more they can bill. Makes sense to me! 🤑

Do you remember Peter Graves in Airplane with his uncontrollable drooling, flatulence, and loss of muscle control after eating bad fish? Hilarious! 😂

Good morning! ☺️ It’s an afternoon for me 😆
What an interesting story…
This shows that cacography (small poor writing here) in medicine, specially the pharmacy part where they give you a medication, causes this big, detrimental effect, just like in the image! 😮
