High Court Fines Three Doctors Rs 5,000 Each For "Poor Handwriting"; Twitter Agrees

It is now well understood that doctors don't have the best of handwritings. While it may be due to lack of ample time or a matter of habit, a doctor's prescription is difficult to understand by those who do not belong to the medical profession.


Now three doctors from Uttar Pradesh have been fined for their bad handwriting by the Allahabad High Court. A Lucknow bench of the Allahabad HC fined 3 doctors with a penalty of Rs. 5,000 each for their illegible handwriting. The court was irked as their "poor handwriting" had rendered injury reports of victims in three criminal cases as illegible.


Users on Twitter welcomed the decision as they found the order amusing. Users agreed with the decision, stating that the poor handwriting of doctors can lead to a lot of confusion. Here are some of the reactions
