Pre-employment screen

[getit]

Sorry if this has been asked. Would anabolics typically be screened for on a pre-employment drug screen? In the medical field if that makes a difference.

I'm pretty sure a pre-employment blood screen consists of recreational drugs only.

Negative. They are screening for rec drug use.

I do this every time I meet with my doctor. Not a 5x but baggier than I'm used to. Last Fall, I met with my new primary care doc for the first time. During the initial vitals exam, the nurse asked I was on steroids. Of course I lied and said yes. Five minutes later, she asked again. I gave her a wtf stare and said 'you already asked me that.' She immediately apologized. Idk, I guess it could have been a mistake, but she was ready off a form, and that was the only question she doubled up on.

They all know... you cant hide 300#'s
I use to tell my doc it was creatine and stuff at gnc...
Luckily he became my primary care and knows everything... Plus he's a client of mine.
I went to him about 34 yrs ago and he was just starting out taking patients.... I lucked out there.
NEVER tell any DR ... ER Doc etc... what you are taking...(AAS wise) Or your Health ins will deny coverage.

I'm only 220lbs. so I can only imagine being 300lbs of muscle and telling your doctor with a straight face that you're only on creatine

For an employer to test for PEDs, they'd had to order a specific test for each PED. Doesn't make financial sense to spend all that money to test each potential hire for dozens of possible PEDs.

They're just gonna do the generic test to look for popular recreational drugs. I've been tested 3x so far these past 12 months and never had to worry about it.

He knows better now.... well for at least 30 of them 34 years.... He just hides shit from my ins.
He's the one who told me not to say shit to any Dr other than himself.
But there was a time where they thought I had TB and I went to the ED and they did a spinal, then proceded to try to fit me into an ice bath because I was 104ish temp wise. WELL I couldn't fit into the tub, I couldn't even fit in a damn gurney.....So my EX wife told them what I did......LUCKILY nothing came about it... Damn lucky as I know more than 10 guys who lost awesome insurance because they told their DR about AAS use.

My doctor gave me the side eye last couple times I've been to see him when he asked if I used PEDs and I said "No". He knows better lol - been my doctor for years and this past year I've blown way up in size/strength. In our conversations about my lifestyle, he makes it clear he knows but skirts around the fact carefully.
I do wish I could be open with him without losing insurance coverage though. Would def make my life a lot easier.

They are setting up a clinic in Australia to test for peds apparently.
It only costs $100 for a basic test to see if you are shut down. They will see your testosterone level is over maximum normal and you are shit down. Then if you don’t have a script to justify you won’t have a job.

So your doc must be a lifter or has dealt with many gym rats. I have a doc that lifts and he and I agreed to keep the PEDs out of the discussion

Not all docs are that dumb...they know more than you think!

My last doc kind of interrogated me like a criminal if I used any PEDs and I said no with a straight face.

I got a LE job with a piss test, physical and a polygraph. Don’t sweat it.

No. They do not test for hormone levels.
Its a "street-drug"/script abuse test for coke, amphetamines, opioids, benzos, psychodelics, thc.

 

[Raider2022]

Yep, you would be surprised how many LEO's are on PEDs

I appreciate the comments here talking about how you should never tell your doctors anything. I mean, now that I think on it, it seems like it should be common sense but .... Fuck man, if I was asked outright, I probably would have just assumed there was some doctor / patient confidentiality shit that would have me covered. I honestly never would have thought it would potentially affect my insurance. So thank you all for that.

Well, they have to pass a physical exam and physical readiness test to get hired too. But a fair share wouldn’t pass either five years into the job.
Same goes for the confidence and integrity standard they needed to pass to get hired.

No, I work with medical personnel in my job and we do not get screened for AAS.
