Rx 1
This epic prescription, submitted by Butch Loyd, RPh, of Griffin Drug Co in Cleveland, Georgia, packs in a whopping 6 medications—all equally illegible—on a single piece of paper. Needless to say, Butch was confounded; he called the physician for a translation.
How many of them can you read?
Rx 2
Paige Killingsworth, RPh, PharmD, received this prescription at Realo Discount Drugs in Trenton, North Carolina. Although the first half of the script was a no-brainer for Paige and her team, the second half left them completely in the dark.
