This is a normal post Thing is,
I worked in a shop selling electronic stuff in the early '90s and baffling Chinglish was a thing back then...definitely not a modern occurrence born of bad autotranslation...

This is a normal post Could be some very old photos, easily faked too.
Good auto translation has spoiled some harmless fun.

This is a normal post The Mercilon prescription label isn't mistranslated,
someone's just hammered in lots of different short codes during labelling to generate gibberish. Perhaps to illustrate why proofreading is important, seems unlikely they'd have got it *that* wrong accidentally. Mind you, I've come across some howlers in my time.

This is a normal post Yes, mistranslation isn't going to add extra words to that extent.

This is a normal post It's been a good few years since I last used that iteration of ProScript Link,
but depending on how it was set up they would have typed something like "N AC OD T QD TD Q3 [-HOURS] TD T1 T2 T3 1-2" to get that. I'm guessing the gibberish directions were on the original prescription, and a dispenser reproduced it on the label either to show how ridiculous it was or because they were really fucking stupid.

This is a normal post Might have been a test?
I have plenty of prescription errors, which aren't much fun as a patient.

This is a normal post Dunno what you mean,

This is a normal post You lot keep all the fun stuff for yourselves.
Noone ever accidentally prescribes me diazepam or pethidine, trigeminal neuralgia and all I got was this lousy carbamazepine.

This is a normal post Yeah I've made a few myself.
Like on my first day as an FY1 when one of the ward nurses asked me to prescribe forticreme for a patient and I had no idea what it was so I just prescribed it QDS Topical.

This is a normal post I need to dig out some of my anonymised prescription scans over the last 25 years.
Apart from the hilariously incoherent, inaccurate and lethal SC diamorphine doses for a palliative care patient in a nursing home (when I queried it, initial response from another GP at the practice was a weary "what's she done now") my favourites were the directions for diazepam 10mg tablets to be administered "one in each eye" and for Glutafin crackers to be "inserted once daily".
