You see these cases in the news and read about them all the time, and they're really scary stuff of people that have spent long prison sentences after now being proven to be falsely accused.

Even some people who have been put to death that later evidence shows that they were innocent.

And I think it's just the most horrendous nightmare a person

can live. It's been going on throughout history, right? I mean, you've got the Inquisitions and the

Salem witch trials and even modern day false accusations. So if anybody ever tries to tell you that

a clear conscience laughs at a false accusation,

ask them how they would feel if they were falsely accused of child abuse or date rape

or didn't get a job because of a false positive urine test.

And I see it all the time in hospitals that a urine drug test changes how a clinician or a nurse

feels about a patient when those results come back.

Or a wrong diagnosis associated with urine drug test stigmatizes a patient and can result

in chart law that follows them for a very long time.

You know, I was recently at a restaurant a couple years ago where a buddy of mine thought

that the wasabi was guacamole and he got quite a surprise when he ate it.

So people get the wrong impression of things all the time,

but when medical people interpret urine drug test wrong it can end up

actually in character assassination and at a very minimum it often kills the

trust between patients and clinicians if the patient is falsely accused of taking a

drug that they didn't take.

So let me start off by saying there are a lot of ways to do drug testing, and usually what

we're talking about is drug testing of abuse, although obviously we could sometimes test

for drugs like phenytoin and all kinds of levels that we're looking for for therapeutic
