physical


Question Posted Wednesday December 13 2006, 4:01 pm

when you have to take a physical for school and you're given a urinalysis (piss test)do they check for drugs without request?

I've heard that they do and they don't,and I would like a straight answer from someone that knows for sure.

I would imagine that if your school does do a urinalysis test, it isn't through a doctor. Every time I've had one, its done by whoever is in a position of authority (cops, school, military, or employer as examples) and they ship it straight to a lab for processing - no doctor involved.

I've never, ever, heard of a school doing this for a physical, though I suppose its possible. I cant imagine a school would want to spend the money to have a lab run the tests to be frank. If I were a parent, I'd be ticked if I were to find out that my childs school would be mandating uranalysis on minors, especially if they hadn't asked for parental approval. If you think your parents would oppose, just refuse to pee and let your parents chew the school officials a new one.

If your school for some odd reason DOES do urinalysis, and your parents DO approve, I can only tell you one thing: Godspeed, my young drug-using friend.

But I'd be surprised if they actually do urinalysis.

Some places do but not all. Im sure you can probably call the school or whatever they should be able to give you an answer if you straight out ask them (dont give them your name).

Well I have worked in a docs office and can tell you that we never did drug tests on kids.

Height, weight, check your ears and lungs. Make you read an eye chart.

The doctor will take your history...Have you ever had problems with your knees, any trouble with breathing, headaches etc. Then possibly give you info on STDs and birth control. :)
