Great article, Olivia! I’ve also heard some arguments similar to this around UTI treatment (typically antibiotics) - it’s become much easier to get a prescription via telehealth but is almost certainly accelerating antibiotic resistance
One Medical is good at avoiding this; I’ve seen their docs prescribe supplements and a drink-water-and-wait approach (within reason) for UTIs for just this reason.
