My husband went in to the clinic for a D.O.T. physical, and he was found to be totally healthy except for his urine. They made him pee a few times, tested the heck out of it, then behind our backs with no permission, no signed waiver, and shutting the door on us (so we couldn't see into the room) they drug tested his urine. The only history he has is borderline kidney disease, which we disclosed to the Doctor. In our state the DOT does not require drug testing at physicals unless the Employer requests it. And there was no request! We just moved to this area and its a small place, of course he didn't have anything to worry about, and the urine was only "abnormal" due to his kidneys inactive and then overactive secreations of protiens and sugars ect., But it felt like we were being profiled or victims of some sort of stereo type and the more I think about it the mad'r I get! And if it would have been drugs, what then? Does he just get to make up the rules as he goes?
