Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
I'm not quite sure of your age, but the doctor should ask you if there is anything you want to tell him/her in privacy without your mother being present.
I know when I see a child in clinic, I always ask the parent to step out during the "questioning" period so that they can be completely honest with me. If your doctor doesn't do that, then you should either call directly or ask your mother to step out. If she doesn't then your doctor should get the clue there is something that you need to talk about and ask your mother to step out. It is very important that you are completelely honest with us- because we can treat you for a lot of things if we don't have all the information. We are forbidden by law to reveal any information that we gather- and if we do we can be punished greatly from a big fine (thousands of dollars) to suspension of our medical licenses (we worked 8+ years to get that and we're not going to risk that) to outright jail time. It doesn't matter if you did anything illegal or not- we can't say anything unless you have plans on hurting yourself (ie suicide) or someone else (assault/ homicide).
As for a standard physical- I've never heard of a urine test being routinely done. I understand that some schools have the test done- and generally the + test would be there for 10-14 days. However, if they do a hair test it can be several months (marijuana is stored in your fat- and therefore can be detected on hair for a long time).
Hope this helps.

im pretty sure you dont have to worry about it
they only check for illnesses (ex:diabetties)
marijuana will only show in the tests if they look for it, they wouldnt look for that at a checkup.
GOODLUCK

It is not a doctor's role to judge anyone or pass judgment on anyone's lifestyle choices or mistakes be it with substances that are illegal or not. They cannot get you charged with anything or have the police after you etc.
They are only there to take care of your health and well-being and make sure there isn't anything wrong with you physically and or mentally. Yes, they will notice the presence of marijuana in your system and they cannot legally tell anyone even a parent in most cases (which I don't agree with but that's the law).
All they can do is tell you not to do it and give you information on why. They need to know your total medical history and drug use history too or you aren't doing anything to help yourself here if you have medical problems that have developed because of drugs. Don't lie as it's damaging to your health.
I won't lecture you but marijuana will do nothing at all to help you with your problems but could cause you more than you imagined. Everyone likes to feel good and you may have problems that are making you feel lousy or made you try this or do it regularly.
It's best to talk to someone honestly about your drug use and learn how to stop if its something of concern to you. I doubt your mother or doctor would judge you because they both know teens try this. if you need help stopping talk to an adult you trust.
You can put the doctor's appointment off for a while but eventually thetruth about you doing any type of drug will come out as there's no way to hide the signs from people. They'll catch on.
This may not be what you wanted to hear but I believe in being honest and offering people many choices to deal with an issue. Your problems aren't about the doctor's exam and hiding the truth but they're about issues with drugs themselves.

Maybe you should have thought about that before you smoked the herb.
Welcome to the world of taking responsibility.
