In hospital, a doctor always gives you a note to get the medicine from the chemist(药剂师). but sometimes doctors write so badly that the chemists can't understand them.
My mother wrote to a doctor to invite him to have dinner at our home last week. The doctor wrote an answer, "What shall I do?" she said to my father, "I don't want to give him a telephone call and say I can't read his writing. " My father thought for a moment and then had an idea.
She went to the chemist's shop and gave the doctor's note to the chemist. Then he said politely, "Could you please wait for a few minutes, madam?" He went to the back of the shop. After 2 minutes he returned, carrying a large bottle. He gave the bottle to my mother and said, "Three times a day and one teaspoon at a time. "
