Saves millions -ends messy handwriting !

              " Drugs errors occurring daily ", I read on page 2 of

    today's Providence Journal ( Sept.11 ) .  In hospitals -where loved

    ones - depend on the kindness....and the competence ... of strangers.

               One factor in these numerous drug errors : " pharmacists

    incorrectly reading a doctor's messy handwriting ".  I'll bet that

    messy handwriting is also costing  business dearly.

                Years ago the hand calculator came to the rescue of the

    math and science student ... and in fact made  everyday arithmetic

    quicker and easier for all of us.

            A similar convenient gadget must soon replace tedious and

    often illegible handwriting - and just printing out easy to read

    notes.

                    Along with his stethoscope, the good doctor will

    have his  compact digital note maker. As easy to read as a hospital

    bill !

                I 'm sure such gadgets  are now on the market. Some

    genius must make them more marketable.

                   In the future we will only have to handwrite our

    signature.
