Hemolytic anemia is a condition where the rate of destruction of red blood cells in the body exceeds the rate of their replacement. This results in a low red blood cell count, which can lead to symptoms such as weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and irregular heart rhythms. A person may acquire or inherit hemolytic anemia. Causes of the acquired form may involve autoimmune disorders, infections, and bone marrow failure. In contrast, causes of the hereditary form include disorders such as thalassemia and sickle cell disease. Treatment for this condition depends on the cause, but people may require a blood transfusion, spleen removal, certain medications, and bone marrow transplants.

Pollard had long been frustrated with the steps surrounding her monthly medications for ADHD and depression. She had to meet with her doctor monthly to refill them, and the doctor wasn't easy to get hold of—each visit required more paperwork and phone calls (painfully analog for a Gen Z–er). So now that her doc was fully MIA, she decided to switch to One Medical, a membership-based primary-care group. Though it costs $199 a year, Pollard, a consultant at a development company, considered the money worth it: She could refill her prescriptions just by hitting a button on the app. Pollard's decision is emblematic of a larger trend—people opting for membership-centered medical platforms over traditional primary care after growing frustrated with long waits, short appointments, and other inconv...
