Last week conversation:

My phone rings...

Me: Hello

Classmate: Hey, I have a question for you...

Me: Okay.

Classmate: You remember your physical and drug screen for (Big hospital)?

Me: Vaguely.

Classmate: Well, okay, this isn't info for me, but here's the deal. I have a "friend" who has had trouble getting a new GN job. Yesterday she interviewed for an ICU position at (Big Hospital) and they called her today to offer her the job. She accepted and they scheduled her new hire physical for tomorrow...

Me: So?

Classmate: Well, my firend just smoked some pot a couple days ago.

Me: Uh, if she was interviewing for jobs, did she not have enough sense to lay off the ganja? Geez!

Classmate: Anyway, she bought some horse pee (and I am not going to post here where you can get this stuff!) and is going to use it for her drug screen. She took a urine drug screen test from Costco and it was positive.

Me: You have got to be kidding me? Look, I'm not going to help your friend pass a drug screen by giving her information. She should have used her brain on this one and the horse pee idea is stupid.

After a little more chatting we hung up. Found out yesterday the horse pee worked. She signed her contract, got her $6000 sign on and is good to go. *sigh*

Someone asked me a couple of days ago if I knew a sure way to pass the screens, and I said, "Sure, don't smoke pot. It's never failed me. I've never failed a test." My new employer not only tests for it to be human pee, but they have a thermometer on the cup to ensure it's body temp too. Internal body temp, so unless you're storing it in your vagina for hours before the test, it won't work.

Wow ~ you've got to be kidding me. Every drug test I've ever taken is tested for body temp and then sent off to another lab and this classmate is going to work in the ICU? I'm scared. I know this crap happens, but seriously, straight out of school?

Apparently the horse pee is strapped to your leg and has some kind of warming device on it...

And yeah, I think its scary.
