Theyre only going to look for diseases, they wouldn't do a full blood analysis

yeah plus everything your doctor finds is confidential.

[slipknotpsycho]

unless they're looking for traces of drugs, no.

i work in an ER... as has been said, they would have to run a Rapid Drug Screen to notice the THC metabolites... they will probably run a CBC and a SMA7 test which won't show weed, only cell counts and levels... you are good to go!

If they're going a blood test, they're normally just looking to see that you have normal lab values. If you've had a virus, they're looking to see what your white count and antibodies and various blood-related elements of your immune system look like. Unless they do a specific toxicology or drug screen, they're not going to know you've been smoking weed. Same thing if they do a urinalysis, generally. They have to specifically test for the presence of drugs, and that's not normally a part of routine lab testing unless someone has requested a drug screen or unless they have some specific reason to be suspicious. For instance, if they were suspicious that you might have picked up HIV, they might do a drug screen on you to check for the presence of common IV drugs to see if that's where your HIV-risky behavior came in. I'm trusting you don't have HIV and haven't been an IV drug user, though, and that they're not worried about your HIV status. I'm going to move this thread to our Drug Testing area. Gave some consideration to Medical, but I think this fits best in the Drug Testing category.

hey, Im a phlebotomist- so I pretty much draw blood for testing such as this. Due to Insurence resons they will not test your blood for drugs just because they have the specimen. Your blood will only be tested for what the doc. ordered. I also do some drug testing at my job if anyone has some questions *g*!
