Prescribed

Subjectum Inscribendi

(Subject Line Written, first attempt only)

Dosage	One (1) email subject line written in one attempt, sent, never revisited
Frequency	Per email
Duration	Permanent composition adjustment
Refills	0 — 'Quick question' is, apparently, not a disqualifying subject

Side effects May include the specific restlessness of an imperfect subject, the phantom urge to delete-and-resend with a better one, and — critically — the observation that the recipient reads the body of the email regardless of the subject's polish.

What is this?

Subjectum Inscribendi 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 Subject Line Written, first attempt only — the Latin is ceremonial; the English form is what they actually execute.
