Granted, with certain protocols in place, and other restrictions, should pharma be more over the counter?

Case in point I have strep. Just waited for 2 hours for a doctor to do a test that came back negative (only tests for the most common strain)

And prescribed me penicillin. 

I knew what I had when I walked in there, just give me the damn perscription. Ffs

No, absolutely not. People prescribing themselves ESPECIALLY Penicillin, and other anti-biotics is how we get resistant strains of illnesses.  Streamline the doctors visit process, sure.  But, self-prescribing things like anti-biotics and other medications, no.  Don't agree with that at all.
