She was having him screened for ADHD and they tested him for cocaine? Is that normal?
(think you put that on the wrong thread, Sis ; )
It is becoming more and more common for testing to be done without patient or parent consent. It is enraging.
The last time I was pregnant, before my miscarriage, the doc tested me for communicable diseases without asking or even telling me. It's "state law" - so they don't even bother to let you know what they're doing.
In Ohio, they test newborns routinely for drugs without parental knowledge or consent - and again - if the test is positive, they take the brand new baby from its Mother. It's a horrible crime IMO - no due process, no anything. Just cruel & abusive.
