Good Low-Tech Design: This Vet Care Meds Chart
Recently I had to take my dog in for surgery. Over nearly 20 years of owning multiple dogs, this isn't new.
But this is the first time design actually played a helpful role for my pet's post-op care. At every other veterinary practice I've been to—over a half-dozen, from Manhattan to the rural countryside—they hand you med vials with the dosage instructions printed on them.
The font on the labels is tiny (requiring reading glasses, for me) and it's impossible to read a full sentence without rotating the vial. This time, however, this new vet handed me this simple chart: I was really impressed by the low-tech efficacy of the design.
