interpreting medical records

went through interpretation of medical records during the tutorial session for Nutrition Care Process today and just completed a quiz on the topic. all the medical terminology that i learned years ago is coming back to me. i actually remember most of the stuff, which is good. But i have problems with the medical abbreviations. There are so many of them that I would have to memorize. And the same abbreviation can mean different things so the context in which the abbreviation is used is very important. The biggest barrier to comprehension would most likely be handwriting. Some of the things in the progress notes/nursing notes are really illegible to me. No matter how much time I spend looking at those words I could never figure out what the person was trying to put across. I wonder, could all the various health professionals going through patient's casenotes actually understand everything? If yes, i need to get on that level quick.
