Prescription-(?)
A medical prescription (?) is an order (often in written form) by a qualified health care professional to a pharmacist or other therapist for a treatment to be provided to their patient.
A prescription is a legal document which not only instructs in the preparation and provision of the medicine or device but indicates the prescriber takes responsibility for the clinical care of the patient and the outcomes that may or may not be achieved.
