My point is that illegible writing by a doctor should not necessarily be a problem because he or she could print his or her name rather than use a signature. How is a pharmacist meant to know in such cases? If a pharmacist has a suspicion, is there some method he or she could use to contact the prescriber to find out whether the request is correct, or does he or she have to send the patient back again?
