Description: In a recent judgment, the Punjab and Haryana High Court addressed the issue of doctors writing illegible prescriptions and medical reports. The court came across a case where a medico-legal report written by a doctor was completely unreadable. The judge observed that such handwriting not only causes confusion in legal matters but can also put patients’ lives at risk because they may not understand what medicines or treatments are being prescribed. The court stated that every patient has the right to receive a prescription that they can read and understand. It emphasized that this right falls under the broader right to life and health guaranteed by the Constitution. The judge directed that all doctors should ensure their handwriting is clear and legible, preferably written in block or capital letters if handwritten. The court also encouraged the use of typed or digital prescriptions to avoid any errors or misunderstandings. In its ruling, the High Court instructed state health departments and medical authorities to take steps to implement these changes. It suggested that hospitals and clinics move toward fully digital prescription systems within a few years. The court further recommended that medical colleges include proper handwriting or documentation training as part of medical education to ensure future doctors understand the importance of clear writing. Overall, the judgment made it clear that illegible handwriting by doctors is not just an inconvenience but a serious issue that can affect patient safety and justice. Doctors are now expected to take greater care in how they write prescriptions and reports, ensuring that their notes can be easily read and understood by everyone who needs to use them.
