Just a quick message about small hospitals and UA's. More specifically tox screens. I was employed at this hospital (remember small hospital, small town...) It astonished me how many ER tox screens were performed on patients who a) didn't do anything to help diagnose their problem and b) were not aware they were tested. But as true health care professionals can be more than once i've overheard in the hallway "I see J.J. Jones is here again, Oxycontin again?" My respect for health care professionals is dwindling to shit. New grads (not all, but most) are far to cynical to be privy to a patients diagnosis and uphold the rule! Forget any belief of privacy.
Yes I will agree with that. Did you ever get a random UA when working there?

Just a longer message about ER UA's in general. We run them sometimes, not necessarily as a tool to diagnose anything, but to RULE OUT drugs because imagine this, some people don't tell the truth even after being Medivac'd in with their life on the line.
Yea thats true. Especially with young girls w/ the pregnancy thing in front of her parents...like she is going to admit it even if she was lol. But anyways did you ever get a random UA at work? I passed the pre employment UA so I got 1 out of the way at the least
SukitTrebek Reviewed by SukitTrebek on . --- Question about job related policies related to UA's --- I just recently passed my pre-employment UA. Already signed all the legal documentation that comes with getting a job and received the 'Employee Handbook'. I read the handbook, but it doesnt really specify anything about being subject to random UA's. It talks about have to take annual TB (Tuberculosis) test. I know if you get hurt on the job you have to take a UA, but apart from that how would it maybe be worded? I could see the place I work at not really doing UA's (VERY small hospital), but Rating: 5
