Chinese Doctors fail writting test
Doctors in some Western countries are known for their bad handwriting, so when complaints grew about the doctors’ penmanship at one Pudong hospital in Shanghai, the hospital tested the doctors.
Shanghai Gongli Hospital asked 48 doctors to copy a 300-word article with standardized characters. Surprisingly 28 failed as characters they wrote were deemed indecipherable.
Patients had complained that doctors had misspelled their names or they received wrong medicines from the pharmacy because characters on the prescriptions were unrecognizable.
