Can doctors drug test you w/o you knowing?

Question

like.. say ur under 18, and ur getting ur blood drawn for a lab and a urine test thing for a checkup

will they test u for drugs w/o you knowing if your parents asked?

and if they did find drugs, are they allowed to tell ur parents?

Answer 1

The answer is yes.

Answer 2

If you are under 18 and your parent or legal guardian asks for it, they can test you without you knowing. They can tell your parents the results without your consent.

However, if you ask, "are you drug testing me?" they cannot lie to you. Also, if you ask for a copy of the results, they cannot deny them to you.
