hey guys, so i fractured my shoulder today, im going to have to go to the docter...

but my question is, will they do a drug test? i would think not, but i need to be sure...

Probably not, and even if, it's illegal for a doctor to release the results to the police, so even if they did you couldn't get in trouble for it.

How did you fracture it?

i fell off my bike becuase a car backed into me. my shoulder got caught in the handle bars and the bike flew over me, with my shoulder stuck in it, yeah it sucked :(

but dont they like tell your parents and such?

1. SUE that biotch for every penny. :thumbsup:

and nah I doubt they would tell your parents if you asked the doctor to keep it confidential. That is, if they even did it at all.

man that sucks about your shoulder. and i was wondering the same thing for my physical but it turned out they don't drug test for those. but if they do i don't think they can tell anyone the results if you ask them not too.

but so you can just tell them not to say anything? but yeah i was on medication anyway so i asked my dad, he said they wont test you. but also, what about work? they have to tell the employers about the drug test right?

Not unless its a work related injury and the company requests a drug test.If it happened on your own time they will never know.

oh, okay good, but with like retail and fast food places to work at, do they drug test every week? after i heal i'll be starting work, but do most places do frequent drug tests?

no generally just a test at teh beggining. sum do random testing but most just for the interview and if they have suspicion

its called patient doctor confidentiality

At some time during your employment you must have been given a copy of the companies "drug testing policies". What you need to know should be in there.
At the company I work for, not retail or fast food, if I am off work for more than 90 days I have to take a physical and a drug test before I return to work. It doesn't matter why I was off work.
Always get copies of company policies when hired and not just drug testing policies.

im going in for a check up at my urologist (had a hernia last year) soon and every time i go they ask me to piss in a cup, will they look?

People are way too paranoid about drug tests now-a-days. If you broke your shoulder there should be absolutely no need for a drug test, do they think you were high when you broke it? As for your parents finding out, I know this is an adult website so you must be over 18. If your parents give you a hard time about it you should stop smoking or do it behind their back and respect their rules for smoking in the house and such.

As for sueing your doctor, I don't think that will be necessary. My doctor knows I smoke marijuana and it's always best to be 100% honest with your doctor. My doctor never said anything to my parents back when I was younger. By law the doctor cannot tell anybody if you say not to. Also, you cannot get into legal trouble by telling your doctor you smoke marijuana. If you tell your doctor you've been a daily user of heroin or something expect a more serious reaction.

There is something called HIPPA that protects patient confidentiality. I would be happy if my doctor illegally released my medical records to unauthorized persons. Then I could sue the fuck out of him and be 100 percent sure to win thanks to HIPPA.
