It's a super common prescription and most doctors probably couldn't spell it offhand. Combined with dosing info it would be more obvious. Also if they do happen to be wrong it's unlikely to actually cause harm with acetaminophen/paracetamol.
Edit: another benefit is disguising to a patient that demands something to take. Essentially a placebo.
In addition, there's a psychological phenomenon where our brains only need the first and last letter of a word in the right place, and all the right letters in between in any order, to suss out a word. Our familiarity with a lngaauge will put it together, so presumably the same is true for healthcare providers' common words.
Note: I included an example of this in my comment

If they're commonly used words the scribbles end up becoming a form of shorthand that doctors can recognize, but they're meaningless to anyone who isn't already familiar with them.
"Your example doesn't work without the context of the (something) intention."
How'd I do?
Pretty damn close.
"Your example doesn't work without the context of the letters inbetween."
Inbetween is not a word.
Because scribbles all have correct grammar and spelling, right?
An yet its common enough that people are able to figure out what is meant.
