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.

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.

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.

Call them that year.

The whole point of my post/question is to learn to decipher doctor’s chicken scratch handwriting.

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.
