i guess the p and l are the important bits and the rest can just be inferred, since paracetamol is very commonly used and they’d get tired writing it in detail every time. other more specialized drugs with p___l (or close to it) as its name would have more squiggles i assume.

It’s (shorthand)[teeline.online]. It says “prc(t)ml” with the p being in the obvious spot (though it should be just a downward line), the r is the diagonal line after it, the c is the little curl, the t should be more pronounced, but it should be a horizontal line slightly above the rest, the m is a concave-down swoosh, and the l is the final curl. No vowels b/c they’re largely redundant.

I get the L, but how did you get the P? At best it’s an O, at worst it’s a D.

Funny, but also not. Just Googled because I couldn’t remember:

“According to the Institute of Medicine, physician’s illegible notes lead to approximately 7,000 deaths annually.”

Seems unreal. Even if it was half that…that’s a lot of people. If I was getting prescribed drugs, I want it LEGIBLE. Typed up would be great. I just don’t trust that shit, and neither should any of you.

Meanwhile, here in Sweden, when I get a perscription, my doctor types on his computer for five min, I then walk to any pharmacy, hand them my ID, of they have it they will offer a cheaper alternative, if they don’t have any of the medicine, they will tell me which pharmacy does, if none has it they will order it for me.

Same here in Italy, but it took COVID to get them off their asses and finish the system for this that was already 90% there

Here in Germany it was introduced last year (I think). Heard it still causes trouble on the organization side, but as a patient it works great.

Skeptical of anybody who calls it Paracetamol.

North America and Japan are the only places in the world that don’t call it that

That’s very interesting, I had no idea. Yes, Tylenol or acetaminophen.

The chemical name is para-acetoaminophenol. Acetaminophen and paracetamol are both abbreviations. Tylenol is just a brand.
