now they've got you connecting to their wifi hotspots at the gynecologist's office

Nobody is forcing you to check in at your gynecologist's office, which is something you can already do, if you're into that kind of oversharing

Actually, it might very well happen that these Wifi networks all have the same SSID, which would likely make most devices automatically connect to them.

Even if they don't, they only ever need one connection to link your device's MAC to your username, and then detect it without ever connecting.
