Because in the domain of what they’re writing, there’s certain expected values, so they’re writing can get pretty wild, as long as the technical practitioner matches it to the closest value they’re expecting it works.

And absolute worst case scenario, the technician will call the OD office.

Do you know what it’s like to have two legal names, two legal birth certificates, and two legal SS numbers?

They are not allowed to share an ‘outdated’ prescription with me, for ‘liability reasons’… ☹️
