We don't use apple in the office because most healthcare software is vertical windows only stuff. I am going to experiment with parallels and see what I can do. So if you were looking for hope, there ya go. Greg Birch DDS/Gnomedexer This is leaning away from the chicken scratch topic…..but I am entering this on my new (2day old) macBook.

Sadly. Yeah, there is a whole industry behind that, and its complicated — in spite of how seemingly intuitive and important it sounds.

Sadly.

Don't worry about burying, same thing happens to me. What I don't get is why the whole script deal isn't more advanced. Doc puts in the script on a pc (docs don't use macs) and customer gives doc their pharmacy and the script is transferred. Hmm – we will need to change that Tony!

Cheers t Allen, I’ve never been dugg to the FP before, and I don’t plan to change that. ;) [I have been submitted, but I usually get buried]

Having said that, there aren’t that many prescription acronyms … probably only 10 or 15 common ones.

Consistency is also a form of protection for me. If a pharmacy gets a hand written script from me I want a call, I write to a select number of pharmacies, they know me, they know we print our scripts, they know my quantities. They DO call me it's nice because when I used to write scripts I made a dumbass mistake, they called, the day was saved now scripts are printed hopefully no more dumbass mistakes.
