Decided to test a former pharm tech.
The runes… decoded
Thanks for sending and sharing, that’s incredible to the point it’s hard to believe
how
i guess the p and l are the important bits and the rest can just be inferred, since paracetamol is very commonly used and they’d get tired writing it in detail every time. other more specialized drugs with p___l (or close to it) as its name would have more squiggles i assume.
It’s (shorthand)[teeline.online]. It says “prc(t)ml” with the p being in the obvious spot (though it should be just a downward line), the r is the diagonal line after it, the c is the little curl, the t should be more pronounced, but it should be a horizontal line slightly above the rest, the m is a concave-down swoosh, and the l is the final curl. No vowels b/c they’re largely redundant.
Runes
I get the L, but how did you get the P? At best it’s an O, at worst it’s a D.
The rest is just cursive shit idk
Ignore the left side of the oval, then you get a lower case p with a looong stroke down and a teeny tiny )-shape.
Oh so there’s tactical bamboozle stroke too?
Statistics, I think
Meanwhile, here in Sweden, when I get a perscription, my doctor types on his computer for five min, I then walk to any pharmacy, hand them my ID, of they have it they will offer a cheaper alternative, if they don’t have any of the medicine, they will tell me which pharmacy does, if none has it they will order it for me.
Same here in Italy, but it took COVID to get them off their asses and finish the system for this that was already 90% there
Here in Germany it was introduced last year (I think). Heard it still causes trouble on the organization side, but as a patient it works great.
Oh it’s a problem here to. You do not want to know how much information is passed on through rapidly scrawled sticky notes in our healthcare system - particularly in emergency situations.
It even works for animal medicine. My cat needed some and the pharmacy just ordered it!
Looks kinda the same
p-------------l
Nah, I can give them p-r-------l at least.
Peenol™️ - it’s for the peen™️
I just see “oishi.” Tasty?
I see it
They started to draw a dick but stopped when they realized it would be unprofessional
It’s a sperm
How?

Skeptical of anybody who calls it Paracetamol.
North America and Japan are the only places in the world that don’t call it that
That’s very interesting, I had no idea. Yes, Tylenol or acetaminophen.
The chemical name is para-acetoaminophenol. Acetaminophen and paracetamol are both abbreviations. Tylenol is just a brand.
