No, see, there's this thing called a phone. When you can't read the script, you call the doctor who wrote it.

Who gets handwritten prescriptions these days? All of my prescriptions are sent directly to the pharmacy. I never see anything. The only time I saw one is when they released me from the hospital and that was a computer printout.

Unless you go to a really bad pharmacy they will call the doctor if they can't read it.

I worked at a pharmacy in high school, a lot of the stuff people read as "illegible" is actually short hand. Things like "p.o" mean by mouth, or "b.i.d." Meant twice a day (I think). They also use something that looks like a lowercase T with a dot on it to indicate how many pills. So something like "TT po bid" would mean take "2 twice a day by mouth". The pharmacists generally understood things, but would just call if there was confusion.

In continuation to this, in the course I took to get certified as a pharmacy tech we were given homework and an exam where we had to discipher the directions to various "prescriptions" written in shorthand and in different handwritings because even though much is transitioning to via computer, physical prescription are still being given.
