Thank you for addressing the matter well. As I posted earlier, I plan to discuss the issue with my newly appointed doctor in January and see what her response is. Depending on what she says, I will or will not bring the matter up with the practice. Again, thank you!

Interesting that you edited your comment to sound less antagonist and counterproductive, but thank you for doing so.

I came to this forum for guidance over an issue that is of concern to me. For some unknown reason, you have been combative, as well as judgmental towards me from the moment I posted. You have made your point, so if you are going to continue be rude and dismissive, please do not offer me any more...

So, I will clarify for you, as you're quite interested in my posts. A common urinalysis, which I was referring to, checks for things like protein, sugars, bacteria, etc. to detect any kidney and/or liver issues, as well as diabetes and infections. That is quite different than an extensive drug test.

The doctor left the room to get something, then never came back. She sent in a nurse to ask for the urine sample, but the nurse didn't know why it was being requested. I asked to see the doctor again, as she had indicated she was coming back, but the doctor was no longer available. I thought...

This office has never done this with me and I read everything thoroughly before I sign any documentation. I'm more than happy to take a drug test, but have issue with being given one without the doctor telling me she was doing so. I have access to all of my medical records and at not point in...

I'm guessing you haven't read my previous posts. To clarify, I don't think what this doctor did is illegal, but I feel it is immoral and/or non-transparent. As stated in previous posts, I will talk with her during my next appointment in January about my issue with her not asking for consent, nor...

Zigner, not with this doctor. This practice is very good about telling a patient what their bloodwork or urine is being tested for, so that they are knowledgeable about what they are agreeing to. Thank you Xylene for addressing the actual issue, the lack of transparency and communication. That...

I haven't done so yet. I just found out about the testing yesterday. I have an appointment with this doctor next week and plan to discuss it with her and based on her response, I'll decide whether to raise my concerns with the practice after my appointment.

How exactly are you SURE I authorized the test? I never signed anything, nor was informed of any test that was to be run. The medication I am on was already prescribed and I have been on the same dosage for over 6 years. This new doctor was not prescribing anything new that day. She was simply...

What is the name of your state?North Carolina I switched doctors within the same practice, due to my doctor retiring. In order to continue my prescription of Adderall, the new doctor required a "new patient" visit. After checking me out and asking the typical questions, she requested a urine...
