Drug Testing Is Wrong

Many people have explored the world of drugs, and drugs come with medical problems. “Many surgeons order routine laboratory tests before admission to the hospital, or even before certain outpatient procedures, to identify potential problems that might complicate surgery if not detected and treated early” (Stanford University). Some doctors make their patients take drug tests to detect drugs and other problems of the body. People of today’s generation have frequent access to drugs and can get them at essentially anywhere. Think about of you have a surgery the next day or even a dentist appointment, that surgery or appointment could be cancelled due to drug use. Many people have explored the world of drugs, but with drugs comes medical problems. Patients of any doctor should be tested for a drug test before any surgical procedure so that nothing goes wrong during the surgery.
The tests can detect other issues in your body. One example of a test that can find other problems wrong with your body is Urinalysis test(Urine Test). This test can use your urine to detect Urinary Tract Infections, Kidney Failure, and Diabetes. One other example is an ECG. When this test is taken, it finds problems with your heart. This test can be helpful because drugs affect your whole body so ECGs can find problems with your heart and if drugs are affecting it. Although, what if the test is failed? Then what? A fact was proven that 7.6 Million Urinalysis tests were taken and 3.7% of the people who took them, failed. Once they are failed, it is possible that your surgery could be cancelled.Taking anything but prescribed drugs should not be allowed to be taken before surgery. While this is true, with a little bit of help and if it is bad enough, rehab, that patient can get help and be sober for his/her surgery. Then things would go well for that person if they are addicted, maybe even their surgery could be performed
