Denied Surgery If Positive Test For Methamphetamine Is Detected
UpdatedI've taken methamphetamine for 23 years. I'm scheduled for a hernia repair surgery. Went in for pre op testing and had to do lab work. Got a call the next day. Was told that lab came back positive for methamphetamine. They told me that on the day of surgery if positive surgery will be canceled. Can they do that?

Hmmmmm. I'm going to say they probably can deny the surgery siting the Methamphetamine in your system. Why? I'd think there'd be a risk of anesthesia complication resulting in possible death, coma, brain damage etc….
I realize they could that's already my dear. My concern is how to test clean for the test if I last dosed around three or four this morning?
The same thing just happened to me. They said I had to have 2 clean test before they would do the surgery (this is the hospital) then my surgon said she wanted me clean a year and when I went off about she should have been testing me at the beginning of the whole ordeal (I was getting gastric bypass) she called back and said that I could take another test in a few days then the morning of the surgery take another to have the 2 clean test. The night of the surgery she called back and said that the doctor on staff at the hospital wanted the test to be a week apart and she didnt have another opening for surgery for 2 months (this is after 2 years of trying to get the operation approved and such). i asked about a false positive and my medication interactions and she said that would not produce a false positive. In fact in can... Back to my question for you: what ended up happening? Did you test clean? how? and did you have to go through my whole ordeal? thanks!
