An Indian court has ordered doctors to fix their handwriting after an undecipherable medical report was part of a recent court case.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court issued the order after a court hearing for a rape case required the presiding judge, Justice Jasgurpreet Singh Puri, to read a two-page medico-legal report—written by the government doctor who examined the woman—and found it utterly unreadable.
"It shook the conscience of this court as not even a word or a letter was legible," he wrote in the order.
The court requested that the government incorporate handwriting lessons into the medical school curriculum and establish a two-year timeline for implementing digital prescriptions.
