| Re: My protected rights
My story goes like this. I went to the Dr. during summer vacation, for this pain management. I was told at a later date that they gave me a drug test to see if there were opiates , this would show them if I was taking my meds. or selling them, not even realizing that I hadn't been to the Dr. in over 2 months so there would be no evidence of pain med. in the meantime the test showed pos. for pcp, I assumed the dr. thought this would be important info. for my employer to see, since I was a busdriver. This is a very small town. I was never given a chance to know any of this. The first day back to school we werer given a "random drug test", I was told in 2 days I would not be driving due to the fact I failed my drug test. He was leading me to believe, I failed the one the school gave, especially because I knew nothing about the Dr. drug test at that time. To make aq long horrible story short, when i asked to see my drug test, because i do not do drugs, that's when i lost my parapro job. I worked as a bus driver/parapro. I later got my test results of the required test they were neg. I then hired a lawyer, my lawyer found within 2 days all this info about the anti-depressant, Effexor xr, which I take and the dr. refilled may cause false pos. for pcp. I have since then taken a hair follicle test, to be found neg. I have lost both my jobs, I am angry that that Dr. felt he had the right to give out my info. to my employer, especially without considering my meds. and the type drug it was.
