    Im over weight but not unhealthy. I got veins on my arms and legs... Just a little stomach... No way am I at 40 percent BMI. I work out too. And this isn't a company doctor. Just a place where my company is sending me.
    I know that. My post isnt about that. What I meant was your not supossed to dip anything in the pee first. What you do is transfer my pee into 2 containers. Seal with tamper proof tape I sign... Then dip whatever into the left over pee.

    I guess as long as it's a once every 2 year ordinal I can live with it.after After my review though he might want to see me yearly. The price I have to pay for having nice glutes

    Just wait til you have a DOT physical done by a female doctor. I had one by a woman who would put the SI swim suit models to shame. And she didn't do it from the rear, she was in front.
    Sadly, she didn't smile while she was doing it.

    That's what they do for a drug test. For a regular physical they have me pee in the cup put the test strip in it and dump the sample. No reason to save any or split it. If they are doing a drug test at the same time they should have split the sample three ways. If no drug test, they did it right.

    They do a drug test. I read the DOT procedures from the website... This is what it says from the website.

    § 40.71 How does the collector prepare the specimens?

    (a) All collections under DOT agency drug testing regulations must be split specimen collections.

    (b) As the collector, you must take the following steps, in order, after the employee brings the urine specimen to you. You must take these steps in the presence of the employee.

    (1) Check the box on the CCF (Step 2) indicating that this was a split specimen collection.

    (2) You, not the employee, must first pour at least 30 mL of urine from the collection container into one specimen bottle, to be used for the primary specimen.

    (3) You, not the employee, must then pour at least 15 mL of urine from the collection container into the second specimen bottle to be used for the split specimen.

    (4) You, not the employee, must place and secure (i.e., tighten or snap) the lids/caps on the bottles.

    (5) You, not the employee, must seal the bottles by placing the tamper-evident bottle seals over the bottle caps/lids and down the sides of the bottles.

    (6) You, not the employee, must then write the date on the tamper-evident bottle seals.

    (7) You must then ensure that the employee initials the tamper-evident bottle seals for the purpose of certifying that the bottles contain the specimens he or she provided. If the employee fails or refuses to do so, you must note this in the “Remarks” line of the CCF (Step 2) and complete the collection process.

    (8) You must discard any urine left over in the collection container after both specimen bottles have been appropriately filled and sealed. There is one exception to this requirement: you may use excess urine to conduct clinical tests (e.g., protein, glucose) if the collection was conducted in conjunction with a physical examination required by a DOT agency regulation. Neither you nor anyone else may conduct further testing (such as adulteration testing) on this excess urine and the employee has no legal right to demand that the excess urine be turned over to the employee.

    [65 FR 79526, Dec. 19, 2000, as amended at 66 FR 41951, Aug. 9, 2001]

    Notice step 8. He did this before filling up the 2 bottles...

    So he did not do it right. He did step 8 as step 1.

    No offense to anyone but are yall reading my post? I feel like i explained everything perfectly. I explained it was a DOT drug test AND physical. I explained what he did wrong and why I thought he did was wrong... Hopefully this clears it all up. Hopefully.

    Stop worrying. It will raise your blood pressure. Who knows it might be a cavity search, this time. Just go with the flow and enjoy the reach around.
