Not everyone can figure out a doctor’s prescription. Because, well, 99 out of 100 times, doctors write in some illegible script that only your pharmacist can understand. Perhaps that’s the reason why the Union Health Ministry decided to bring in a gazette notification asking doctors to write their prescriptions in capital letters!

Well, this doctor on Quora seems to have an answer and it does make sense!

Well, seems like a legit reason.
Now no one dare joke about doctors’ handwriting!
