Title: Just had to give a blood and urine sample to my doctor to check normal stuff
Post by: valueaddedtax on July 10, 2012, 12:12 pm
It was a surprise for him to ask but he thinks I may have a thyroid issue. They have both been sent to the local hospital lab to be checked. Will they find MDMA or 2CB in my blood or urine? I'd also taken Xanax and valium.

Perhaps it's only if they are looking for these things specifically they would find them?

Thanks.

I have done those tests a couple of time and all he want to check is if your thyroid is healthy, this is the only way to diagnostic such a health problem. He will check other things like the level of sodium in your urine or things like that but he will not check if you take drugs, he will probably say "All is OK sir" don't worry..

Yep, just like those other two knuckleheads have said, the doc is just checking out your health which means it's not a drug test. I had the same fear when I had to give a sample to obtain my medical marijuana card, but luckily it wasn't what I expected. ;)

It depends on his motives. If he wants to test your blood or urine for drugs he could easily do so if he felt like it. It's doubtful though, unless he suspects you're a hardcore druggie.

Well considering you have doctor patient confidentiality I'm not sure what bearing any sort of result would have upon your life. A doctor's job is too maintain your health not enforce laws. I've told my doctor about everything I've taken, he doesn't give a shit, it just makes it easier for him to do his job and make sure I remain healthy. :D

Yeah, his motives could be anything. He might have just gone home and drunk your piss for all you know! :-X

And still it could come back to you, whenever you go to the doctor with some symptoms he'll possibly blame your drug usage.

And that's when you get a different doctor, one who actually paid attention to med school and understands how drugs work rather than how they are criminalized.

If you get a drug screen and come back positive it can be put on your medical record so if you ever need to see a psychiatrist or something they can look back at your records and see you have a substance abuse problem. I ended up in the drug program over a positive urine test for marijuana in an emergency room.

Doctors are bastards.
What is "the drug program"? Also switching offices helps if that's an issue, the system isn't great. I've had to inform dentists and therapists about my past battles with addiction. If I hadn't made an effort to tell them, I doubt any one of them would've been any the wiser. :D

 :o Why did you have to give a sample for your medical marijuana card!?

Assuming you're in the US, the doctor couldn't do those tests legally without your consent. Even if he did, he couldn't contact police because of doctor patient confidentiality. It's best to be strait with your doc about drug use, they are there for your health and that only.

I just went to my regular doctor for a check-up and to update my medical history before visiting another doctor to get my card. It was just standard check-up bullshit to make sure I'm as healthy as I should be. ;)
