Common illnesses: Does it require a doctor’s office visit?

You wake up feeling the recognizable pain and the immediate urgency to pee. You have a urinary tract infection (UTI). You know the ritual, trying to get an appointment with your doctor, hoping they have an opening as soon as possible, and spending the rest of the morning unable to spend more than five minutes without using the bathroom. Of course, you may have some of that convenience store over-the-counter UTI medicine. Still, it only relieves some discomfort without treating the issue like the meds your doctor prescribes to you. Since you’ve been through this before (possibly several times), you’re aware that all you really need at this moment is that prescription to make this pain go away. So, why do you have to wait hours and even days for a doctor’s appointment so they can tell you something you already know, “You have a UTI.” This scenario can apply to many other common illnesses, such as allergies, colds, upset stomachs, and others! Wouldn’t it be nice to skip the in-person doctor’s office visit altogether for these types of common illnesses?!
