A prescription written by Dr. Nithin Narayanan, a pediatrician at the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Kerala’s Palakkad district is going viral. Unlike others’ sloppy handwriting, he writes block letters and makes sure to have enough space between words and sentences.
Speaking to a local news channel, Narayanan said “My sister used to make me write in four-lined notebooks when I was a child. I love writing, so even when I write a prescription I try to write in block letters.” He also said that these days most doctors are trying to write clear prescriptions.
Netizens who are understandably surprised at his neat handwriting have appreciated the doctor. Some also pointed out that as doctors usually have a long line of patients waiting, writing clear prescriptions is not always possible.
