Bog Standard Doctor's Bloodtest?

[Mr Pink]

Yo, ou know occationally perhaps every 1-2 years you will get called into the doctors for a bloodtest, not in any relevance to drugs what so ever! but just to check everything is ticking ok Will they find cannabis in that bloodtest even if there not looking for it and if they do... what could the consequences be? I'm 15 years old, do they have permission to tell my parents or release records to the police?

Justa thought that's been playing up on me... any help would be appreciated.

I have no idea about the laws in europe, but unless they are looking for it, they wont find it. If your parents tell them to do a drug screen, it will come up of course.

Pink, I have no ideas what the standards are in Great Britain, but over here in America, a drug screen would not be a part of a standard blood test for a 15-year-old unless there were a suspicion of illicit drug use/illicit drug interactions causing medical trouble. Or unless it were expressly requested by his parents. Your country's privacy laws are different from ours, too, and so I don't know what they can reveal and what they cannot. Here the confidentiality age varies among states.
