Once you get used to it it's not so bad ... I've been working with the same set of docs for a lot of years now, and their handwriting holds few mysteries.

My best stupid human trick ...

A pharmacist calls, saying, "I have a prescription from one of your doctors."

"Which one?"

"I can't tell. I can't read the handwriting."

"Can you describe the squiggle that you think is the signature?"

"It looks kind of like a lightning bolt."

"Hani Zaki, MD. Can you read the name of the medication okay?"
