Can my family doctor do a random drug test on me?
I was told he wanted to test my urine which has been done many times before but this last time he ran a drug test. Can I prevent these test results from being shared with anyone else and can I get a copy?

Your family doctor can do a random drug test on you as part of his or her screening for possible issues that might not be readily seen or observed. You can prevent the test results from being given outside of your file and outside of your treatment. You are entitled under the law to receive a copy of the random drug test that your doctor performed upon you.
