Letter from doctors. The way of writing that some doctors have used since time immemorial makes them worthy of a very specific collective imagination: when we say that someone has the “doctor’s handwriting”everyone understands that it is poor handwriting and the difficulty of reading the written message.
But if there are arguments it is because there are situations that recur in a recurring way, and in recent times it is common to see desperate pharmacists asking for help on social media to unravel the riddles of medical prescriptions.
In Spain, one of the kings of this particular sector is Guille Martín, better known on social networks as @Farmaenfurica , where he explains the curiosities of his profession. From the strange requests of the patients to the obviously wrong recipes.
The challenge on Twitter
Taking advantage of the number of followers he has on his Twitter account, this pharmacist has published a new prescription that is practically incomprehensible. “Come on, my boys. What’s written here?” it can be read in the text superimposed on the image. A challenge that many users have gladly accepted.
The more than 2,660 “likes” and 460 retweets that the publication has at the time of writing these lines would already indicate that it is a publication with a certain viral impact. However, the real success of the tweet lies in the more than 1,300 responses it received.

“I read” Epi “and” Kant “, and then 28. The patient has to look at 28 chapters of Sesame Street or read 28 philosophy books,” writes @ Budget00.
“In these cases, how do you rule out the doctor having a stroke?” @Els_quatre_gats asks.
“It’s a spell in a regional dialect of Old Aramaic,” says @cvragar. There are also those who have left a small guide so that from now on nurses can understand the handwriting of doctors.
The answer. “They have already warned me (warned) that it is,” says the pharmacist in a tweet from the thread. Later, he recognized that he is Ezetrol, a drug for lowering high cholesterol levels. There have been some users who have given the correct answer, although they must have been transforming the “hieroglyph” for several minutes.
