"My handwriting won't kill you. I nominate @aproko_doctor and @wakawaka_doctor to do this challenge #DoctorsHandwriting."
It is reported that more than 7,000 people die yearly due to doctor's handwriting. This is because the prescriptions by doctors are misunderstood and different medications and dosages are given to patients.
Nigerians took to the comment section of the post to share their reactions.
