Reactions as man seeks help with doctor's prescription

Nigerians stormed the comments section to react to the post.

Sydney said:

"This wasn't meant for your interpretation. Take it to the pharmacy."

Joe Nyayo said:

"It needs to be EASILY READABLE and leave. NO ROOM for doubt even for the pharmacy staff! This is not. Hii ukoloni like Drs handwriting should not be readable is BACKWARD THINKING. A prescription can be a court document and this one will open room for a lot of chaos."

Allan Hearts said:

"That moment wen our parents used to write a purnishment requisition to teachers and u proudly deliver it coz u dnt know how to read."

Greg said:

"My suggestion, take a medicine or pharmacy course from any reputable university in Nigeria. When you graduate after 5 years, you’ll be able to read it. For now, manage the ailment."

"You trust the doctor to diagnose you, but somehow forget that the tiny piece of paper they hand you is the actual roadmap to getting better. Ignoring it is like buying furniture and throwing away the manual. It's not meant for you to read. Take it to the pharmacy and get what's on the sheet. And commence treatment."

Emma reacted:

"All these Nigerian doctors practicing in Nigeria likes too much drama. Why will you even be prescribing medication for your patients and not write what is readable."
