For Laboratory Medicine:

 

Overextended “profiles”, as discussed here on several occasions.

 

Overfrequent repeated plasma cholesterol.

 

Inappropriate request for haematinics.

 

…and, just possibly, something to do with “Vitamin D”. See recent discussion here on optimal approaches to populations.

 

Overtransfusion.

“Launching the Choosing Wisely campaign, experts are calling on medical organisations to identify five procedures each that should not be offered routinely or in some cases not at all.”
