Prescription Writing 101

I am not a doctor. And neither have I ever been to a medical college. I have, however, been a patient on many a occasions. And what never ceases to amaze me is the prescription. More often than not, doctors I consult will read back whatever they have written. Reading a prescription seems to be a skill that only pharmacists have managed.

Indian television has never been great at originality. Most TV shows have been a poor copy at best. Some have been subtle, some blatant and some copied in a way that doesn't even make a sense in the Indian context. Take for example - CID. Which police officer would wear a suit in India?

If you do think of more, do leave a comment!
