Chandigarh, September 28

There is a well-known perception that doctors’ handwriting is not easy to decode. Besides the chemists, no one could easily understand what drugs have been prescribed to the patient. Moreover, such practice of writing is so uniform that doctors from all around adhere to it. However, a rarely-observed exception has surfaced on social media, where a prescription paper of a doctor in Kerala has been doing the rounds on social media.

The prescription paper is so neatly written that it would have fetched few extra marks had it been an answer sheet of an exam.

The post has been shared on Facebook by a user, Bency SD. The doctor who wrote this super tidy prescription is Nithin Narayanan, a pediatrician at the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Kerala’s Palakkad.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
