blood tests?

hi everybody

well im 16 years old and on friday i had my first encounter with drugs. I smoked mariguana not alot though because i didnt like it.This Tuesday im having surgery because i have 2 ovarian cysts, tomorrow im having blood drawn and im really scared that the drug is going to be in my system and the doctor is going to tell my parents! Im not sure what to do?! When they do blood test is it to test for specific things or for drugs only?  please get back too me thanks :]

Your doctor can't under the Hippa act

By the way I have a question,,,you obviously knew you were getting your blood drawn and now your worried that a positive toxicology report....

If you don't use at all why would you use before a scheduled blood test for surgery?

i think you are safe...they don't routinely do a drug test as part of pre-op bloodwork.

i am glad that you "didn't" like the pot...do yourself a favor and don't do it again.

hope your surgery goes well and that you recover fast.

Hey hon. I don't think you have to worry....I don't think they are going to do a tox screen on you, the bloodwork is probably for making sure of your type, in case they need to transfuse you..or to make sure you aren't aniemic...etc.
But I do have to agree with Beachtowel..why on earth would you smoke weed knowing you were going to have surgery and have blood drawn? I'm not trying to be mean to you, honestly I'm not...I just don't know why you would do this to yourself. You have enough to worry about with the surgery, and you sure don't need to add any more stress to yourself than you have already.

Just get some rest, and don't worry about it. I had to have an ovarian cyst removed a long time ago, and its not that bad. You'll be fine, don't worry.
