I personally know a physician that drinks. He is an executive director at this hospital, has a private practice(cardio) and is an instructor at a college. Imagine. I recently embraced him with a hug and he was reaking of alcohol. I discreetly brought it to his attention months later,but propably to no avail. Go figure. If I could notice something, so can everybody else.

Haha, that’s always fun Robin! I hope you didn’t spill any while walking. I think drug testing is a good idea, but they always test the wrong people. I really think doctors should be tested and it’s insane they are not. As long as we don’t do drugs, we don’t have to worry. I’m proud of being drug free and am happy to donate a fresh cup of urine for analysis

Hospitals are probably afraid that if they test the doctors and nurses, they would never be able to hire any! I agree that a lot of drug testing programs are misguided. For instance, I am totally against drug testing high school athletes. This reminds me of a drug testing experience I had. I used to work as a cashier for a national grocery store chain in high school. They gave me a drug test, because God forbid I, in my drug fueled confusion, should ring up someone's portabella mushrooms as shiitake mushrooms. Well, most employers send you to a private clinic for a drug test, right? Not this one. They were cheap, so here's what they did. I show up at the grocery store, the manager (a male) hands me a cup and tells me to go to the restroom in the back of the store and pee in the cup. After I do this, I have to carry what is obviously a CUP OF URINE through the whole store. The manager hands me a sticker and tells me to seal the cup with it and takes the urine. And even with that procedure, half the employees were still on drugs! Good post. Robin's last blog post..The Curse of My Monkey Paw

Hi Jasko! It’s amazing how many things are messed up in our society. Even by electing politicians we believe in cannot solve the problems. I believe that by writing about such subjects through blogging it can help get the ball rolling by making people more aware. I used to thing awareness is useless, but it often gets bigger and laws can be changed.

It's all twisted upside down. Things like this are happening more than we could imagine. I know from the reliable source that many doctors are doing this way. I guess that they are humans as well, their job is stressful - but what is a bottom line then? For me it is also absurd to sentence a teenager for a few blows of pot and in the same time not to do enough or anything to take care about the big fishes. I guess it is the world that we are living - so many things are not how they were supposed to be. It does not concern you until you do not got clapped in the head. Only in that case people are starting to wonder about it. Jasko's last blog post..Entrecard Experience

[...] To see a judge sentence a 19 year old to prison for 8 years on a first offense drug charge because they had one 10mg valium is an absolute injustice – especially if that judge goes home and drinks a liter of scotch. I saw that happen yesterday and it really got under my skin ( I am only hypothesizing about the judge drinking). Nearly all young people will try drugs or get drunk at some point. Most will outgrow their use, but many will end up destroying their lives. I have what I consider the most accurate comparison chart of respective dangerous drugs including alcohol here: drug comparisons. [...]

Hi Judy! Maybe they should be outlawed but shouldn’t be a criminal offense. I know too many young people who’s entire lives were ruined because they tried pot…one felony offense can ruin a life! I’ll come check out ur post

Bobby, I love the way you think…. I have long since said that smoking and booze should be outlawed! I just think the peeps in charge think they have to let us have something, so they choose the thing most people don’t really think is bad for us…. I wrote a post about cigarettes long ago and if you like read it. here: http://sugar-queens-dream.blogspot.com/2007/06/myths-behind-smoking.html
Go read it, I just fired off frustration is all but it won me an award from Bill Blunt and that is hard to do!
Hugs

Personally, I know 5 doctors who use drugs. Also, working as a bartender, I personally served 48oz. glasses of vodka to several doctors who routinely steadied their nerves before they performed surgery…one of whom was a heart surgeon. Many pain-killer addicts are extremely difficult to spot without having them tested! Thanks webrunner

Interesting perspective on drug testing.
Personally I’m not too concerned about drug testing doctors. Really now how many junkies do you know about who have a MD designation? I would think most doctors value their careers too much and are pretty intelligent to get sucked into that vice.
