Living Up To The Stereotypes

I’m a nurse in a hospital ward. I’m standing in the nurse’s station, trying to decipher how a medication is supposed to be given.

The medical teams are doing their ward rounds, so there’s a whole gaggle of doctors present discussing things amongst themselves, so I figure I’ll outsource this problem.

Me: “Hey, can someone translate some doctor’s handwriting for me?”

There’s a small laugh from the group.

Doctor #1: “Yeah, sure.” *Looks at my paper* “Oh, that’s my writing!”

There was a much larger giggle from the assembled medical team.

Hey, at least it meant he knew immediately what it said!
