Shorthand isn’t scribbles, you are correct. But not everyone can read shorthand, and furthermore, the bulk of doctors don’t use it, and rather use actual scribbles and some medical shorthand / abbreviations (I’m speaking from experience in the USA). I have had to have doctor’s re-issue prescriptions because they just put gobblygook on the paper that no one can read. What am I to do with that? I can’t just read their minds and / or guess what the doctor ordered???
