I didn't ask a medical opinion. I only asked a handwriting interpretation. Thank you though, for whatever it's worth.
Would have been nice to know how to read this garbage before the prescription expired though..
You didn't get medical opinion. You got the written number. And if you wanted to know three years ago, you probably should have either posted or called your doctor three years ago lol
Ah, yes, during lockdown no less..
What's the doctor's name again? Let's read the paper together...
Dw R
Edit: I have no clue what her name was. Plus Walmart is shutting down all it's health centers..
Dude. You went to the doctor. You have their number. You don't need to read it off the paper. You need to just call the place you went to when you got this prescription. Word of advice: don't be a dick to those who are trying to help, for a day will come when willing help will cease.
Walmart done shut down their health centers homie.
Recently. Not 3 years ago. 3 years ago, they were active. You could have called then, instead of waiting to now. To each his/her own, though, and I hope you get what you need. I would recommend getting a new prescription at this point anyway.
I do realize that I should get a new prescription sometime soon. But over the years, people have suggested I can order glasses online. But how could I do that when the prescription looks like Greek?
The whole point of my post/question is to learn to decipher doctor's chicken scratch handwriting.
Call them that year.
By calling them within a decent timeframe after the prescription is handed.
I think the whole point of the post was a bitchrant on how bad the handwriting is, and how much of a BS it is that they can't take the extra 15 seconds to make it legible. On which point, I'm 100% on board. It is BS and I have bitchranted to the doctors office about this same exact issue before, going so far as comparing my chicken scratch handwriting to calligraphy when compared to the script they provided.
Didn't sound like you were geniunely asking for advice on how to decipher. To me, the post title is more or less "Wtf is this shit?".
Edit: Which is exactly what the subtitle said.
