Kicked Out Of Pain Clinic In Tennessee
UpdatedI got kicked out of pain management in Tennessee for a dirty UA. They said I had methamphetamine in my system which is untrue, I have only done the stuff once about 10 yrs ago. My question is how long before this is off my record and I can go to another clinic in TN? Also would a primary care physician know about this without my volunteering information?

BigMike,
Unfortunately technology has caught up, not so much with the privacy issues (HIPPA) with your PHYSCIANS, but every time you have a controlled dangerous substance filled, Verifiable ID is required. Your best bet is to be honest. The days of doctor shopping or using false names or ids for RXs are over. 99.9999% of drug panels are accurate. It's folks unable or unwilling to accept the consequences of their actions so they result to extraordinary means to mask or circumvent this process. I've been on both sides I know what one time users are capable of claiming and willing to do to support their claim. Usually the user claiming denial is the last one to accept the reality.
12 years ago (I'm 62 years old), I went to the local ER for heart attack symptoms and tested positive for methamphetamine. Called a liar and sent home I called the lab manager and he sent my sample to an Atlanta lab and it came back negative. Had to undo a lot of damage as they notified my doctor and of course my family that I was just a methamphetamine head. Bad tests happen and must be dealt with immediately. Pain clinics would likely refuse without a legal threat. Sorry.
