> Further, if you do pick your doctor based on the fact that they will give you the treatment you want… Isn’t this how the opioid epidemic started? Going to do

  It's the same effect. If you want pain meds, I'm sure it's easy at any of those "pain management clinics" I see advertised. If you call a few doctors and ask "Does your practice handle worms? I'm worried I might have worms," you'll have at least some of them say "absolutely, all the time, come right in". If they want a happy customer and they know your expectations and they know the risk of dewormer is low, then they'll probably go along with it to make you a recurring ~~customer~~ patient. You might not even know you've accidentally guided the doctor in that direction.
