Also, just an FYI for all....IF you are taking ANY Prescribed meds (narcotic/controlled OR not) make sure you keep your meds in the original Rx bottle/container....It is actually illegal (felony) considered "Possessing or Transporting a Controlled Substance".....

2 were radoms and 1 was coming back from being off for 4 months due to a off the job injury, the fourth test was for a job in another field of work. ( do not remeber if i had to drop at my medical)
to answer your question, (( if your not worried about ))) yes i just re did my medical this year , and i never tell them if i am taking any thing. it's none of their business what i am taking as long as i have a script for it, PERIOD!! they do not own me.
if i were to flunk a test, i will give them my scrip, but that has not happened.
i bet your the type that would let the police search your house with out a warrant, because only people with something to hide would want a warrant.
something else for you drivers to keep in mind, when going to the doctor, even if it's for your medical card, ALWAYS black out allowing them to release your information. sign anything with HIPPA or authorizing them to release info with DO NOT RELEASE. any information that your company or insurance carrier or comp ins, needs, they can by law, get what they are allowed. they do not need anything else and it can only lead to bad things for you.
contrary to what the clinic may say about the company paying the bill, they are not entitled to that information. -
Actually I was just wondering if you were not so "worried" about it showing up on your drug screen or being a detectable drug, why would you not put it on there? No harm no foul.... but guess that is just me. Don't like to cut corners when I don't have to just to make myself look good. -
((Actually I was just wondering if you were not so "worried" about it showing up on your drug screen or being a detectable drug, why would you not put it on there?))
couple of reasons, i wanted to see if it would show up on a dot drug screen, the doctor i see told me it would not. if it were to show up the MRO would have to call to see why it was in my system.
secondly, what i am taking is legal and i don't think it is information they need to know. it's that simple.Dumdriver Thanks this. -
