Oramorph?

Well, since I doubt there are medicines to affect prayers ... something to change your mouth?! ... Eeep! ;)

Heeh! :D

(Oramorph is "Oral morphine"; waaaay back when I started this job and had only been at Uni for a year, I thought it was mouthwash. ¬_¬)

I've often wondered how pharmasists can read some of those precriptions. Take my doctor's writing for instance, I can barely make out individual letters much less read the complicated names of the drugs. How to you do it? Do you guys have little handwirrting decoder in there tih you? :D

Luckily, there's only a limited number of drugs to choose from, so if you know roughly what a person's being treated for, you can work out what the thing says. Some ARE impossible, though, we have to cross-reference what they came in on and what's in their notes and so on (and phone their GP if we have to). :( And hospital pharmacy is worse because all our prescriptions are hand-written (at the moment).

I swear, you have to be a graphologist to do this job. *headdesk*
