I've NEVER heard of an MD performing a drug test to protect himself/herself. Normally, when you are hired by an employer, or you have some kind of accident, you may be required to do a drug test, but I have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER heard of an MD insisting on one just for his/her own records. Furthermore, your medical records are PRIVATE, and they are protected by HIPAA. Have you signed any kind of statement that gives your MD permission to transmit any of your results to a 3rd party?

By the way, I am an RN, and I work in a California hospital. This sounds terribly fishy.
