Prescribed
Photographia Excisio
(Photo Cull, one hour)
DosageOne (1) hour spent deleting photos in blocks of 47, no review of each individual shot, no saving 'just in case'
FrequencyMonthly minimum
DurationPermanent practice
RefillsUnlimited — the 47,000-photo archive is, apparently, not the memory
Side effects May include the specific phantom grief of deleted blurry sunsets, the urge to 'save this one because it's the best of the 14 identical,' and — critically — the observation that iCloud's monthly charge had, apparently, been buying storage for photos nobody was ever going to look at.

What is this?

Photographia Excisio is part of the Institute Pharmacy's formulary of satirical prescriptions. Everything on this slip is fictional except the behavior it addresses. A real pharmacist, handed this slip, would decline to fill it. Patients are invited to fill it themselves.

Patients know it in practice as Photo Cull, one hour — the Latin is ceremonial; the English form is what they actually execute.
