Drug test for medical school. Need to get it on my own, but still scared, help please

[eyecon82]

Hey guys,

Well, I am shitting my pants right now...I was a chronic user of some high THC bud for almost a year (1-2 grams per day). I have been accepted to medical school and they are requiring a 'Urine 10 panel' by the time I start school. It doesn't matter where I get it done at, as long as I have a lab report showing negative for all. They do not mention anything called 'chain of custody,' but I am assuming all labs make sure chain of custody is placed.

My school starts early August and I have to have the form submitted by then. I stopped using on June 12, 2008 and I am still testing positive!!! (checked by test strips at home). I am 5'6'' and 130lb. I've always heard that it takes no more than 30 days to clear yourself, however, after more research, I guess it can stay for up to 90 days...yikes!! If i had known this before hand I would have stopped a good 100 days before school starting.

I am honestly freaking out right now, thinking it won't be cleared in time. I ended up placing an order for the whizzinator (money is not a concern when it comes to medical school). I would bribe someone up to $5000 if I could get them to give me a falsified lab report, but I don't want to end up in jail for bribing.

So, my options right now is to use substitue urine (from a clean friend), however, the temperature becomes an issue. Im not going to take a chance on the detox things since those are hit or miss and I don't have much time left. I know I probably went above and beyond buying the whizzinator, but I don't want to take any chances. I doubt they would actually physically watch me urinate, especially, as long as they are concerned, I am going in on my own accord (no one is requiring it for me). I set up an appointment for quest diagnostics and this other occupational health center, and told them that my dad wants me to get it done, so I am hoping they will be less strict on me.

At this point, my main concern is temperature

So my question to you guys is
1) what temperature range does the lab check for? 98.6 exact? 98-100? etc.
2) What temp does the whizzinator keep the synthetic urine at? On the site, it says the lcd thermometer reads 2 degrees higher than the actual temp, so should I aim for 100 degrees?
3) In addition, is there a quick way to check temperature while in the bathroom, or just prior to testing? Are there any tips you guys can give me on temperature? Thank you so much!!
4) what is the strictest security you hav seen? do they pat you down, make you undress in front of them? etc? Thank you so much!!

I am definitely going to miss weed, since I preferred that to drinking, etc.

Go to the home page and read the links and threads that apply to this; That will give you a lot of information (as I have read this before for someone else and ways to avoid it) in those threads. That will give you something to do and learn while waiting for the experts in this field to answer! Good luck to you! Good think they are not taking hair samples!! happy reading, the articles are very interesting and address temp!

Labs are supposed to do chain of custody. but in my experience they are pretty lax. There are a lot of the UA's that could be fought in court if somebody wanted tospend the time and money.
Tech will look for 90 to 100 degree variance. Keep it as close to 98 as you can.
You don't really need a whizzinator. You will not be observed unless you give them a reason to observe. Strongly suggest using synthetic urine instead of somebody elses. Synthetic can be rewarmed numerous times while practicing.
I usually keep a cheap digital thermometer in my sock to double check the temp. They don't touch you. Its illegal.
They usually just have you empty your pockets and wash your hands before going into the restroom.

Thanks man....so they only check for 90-100 degree variance? That is much better than what I was expecting. Usually, what temp range does the whizzinator keep the urine at? I ordered the whizzinator, plus 2 synthetic urine packs, so I will use that. Thanks!

So, since I am getting this on my own accord, not employement, courts, etc. they don't have the right to touch or search me? Thanks

I know I probably went overboard on the whizzinator, but I don't have the smarts to rig up something on the go. I should be getting whizzinator tomm, and test is on wednesday.

I also asked for 2 extra temp strips and I will stick all 3 on them just to make sure, since I am most paranoid about that.

In regards to the digital thermometer, where do I place the tip to check the temp of the urine? I mean..once it's in the sample cup, it's a little too late, right? in addition, the sample cup has a temp strip on it, right? so what really is the point? Thanks

If you are using the Whizzinator, you won't need a digital thermometer. It has a temp strip on the Whizzinator so you can check the temp.

A Whizzinator should keep your urine near the high end of the range.

Read the substitution sticky and then practice, practice, practice. You can use water when practicing.

Best thing you can do is have the urine too warm. Have a digital thermometer that doesn't beep ( I have a KAZ brand) then test the sample once in the cup. If too warm simply blow on the sample in the cup. It will cool fast.

Like FakeBoobsRule said - practice! Just be calm. It's usually a lax envronment and the techs aren't out to get you. If the temp is 94-100 your'e good to go! Good luck at med school.

Hey guys,

Thank you to all of you!!

I just went in and successfully used my whizzinator....I will get the test results back tomorrow...but I guess once you can get the lab tech to submit it...you're basically good to go right?

the temp was perfect and I used exactly 90cc's of water..so hopefully it can't come back as dilute

I was sooo nervous...but the environment was pretty relaxed....i was able to muffle the "click" with a simple cough and i was in and out within a minute
