My doctor recently ordered a blood test and urine test on me
to check my cholesterol and liver. I just imagined the urine
test was to look for problems with my kidneys or whatever.
When i went to his office the following week to get the
results, he walked in the room and handed me a letter. It
stated that I tested "positive" for "other" drugs in my urine
test! He said that he was giving me 30 days to find a new
doctor and that he will only see me for emergencies during
the 30 days. I was appalled! Is this legal? He then accused
me of buying drugs on the street and even though I got into a
heated debate about it, he was not going to change his mind
and does not treat "junkies"! The only drugs I take are from
him and my psychiatrist!! I am on anti depressants and some
other anxiety meds. Then he wanted me to sign a release form
so he could release to other doctors, my file. He has ruined
my reputation, slandered my name, did an illegal drug test on
me and now wants to spread the word!? I don't know what to
do. I am a respectable woman of 55 yrs. and do not go to the
streets to buy drugs!!!
