Scrip is probably a typo of Script, an abbreviation for Prescription. Script is a common word in the medical profession. Scrip I've never heard

It is possible to qualify as a doctor and be unsure if the abbreviation for prescription is Px or Rx Now you can just check on the internet but back in the day it's something that's apparently so basic and assumed that you could be too embarrassed to ask.
I always thought of it as currency.
