Maria sees the clinic as the driver pulls into the parking lot. It is a two story building, very modern with lots of glass. She sees a sign that reads:

Occupational and Physical Therapy Services-First Floor.

Employment, CDL, FAA and Executive Health Services-Second Floor.

The driver pulls up to the main entrance, which is covered with a large canopy. He gets out and opens her door and says “Just text me when you are ready to leave, and I will pull up here to pick you up”. Maria, carefully getting out of the car to ensure she doesn’t give the driver a good look up her skirt, replies “Thank you, hopefully I won’t be too long”. The driver says “I drive people here often, it usually takes about an hour and a half or so”. Maria replies “Okay, thanks for the info”. As Maria walks into the clinic, she knows that the driver knows what she is here for, especially since he apparently makes this stop often. She cringes at the thought of him imagining her getting a full exam. She is hoping that she isn’t getting a full exam, maybe just a basic check up?

Maria takes the stairs instead of the elevator to the second floor. She usually takes stairs when she can, unless she is lugging around cumbersome items like luggage. At the top of the stairs there is a short corridor with a glass door at the other end. The door has “Employment, CDL, FAA and Executive Health Services” in large letters on the door. She opens the door and enters a large waiting room. She sees a few people sitting down, two women and one man. One of the women looks to be in her mid forties and is wearing an airline pilot’s uniform. She looks to be very fit and has a pretty face, her long blonde hair loosely tied up behind her head. She is quite attractive. She is likely here for her FAA flight physical. She seems calm and relaxed, as if this is something she has been through before. As a commercial airline pilot she has probably had several flight physicals over the years. The other woman looks to be in her mid twenties, and is also very attractive. She is dressed professionally, wearing black slim fitting dress pants and a matching fitted blazer, and black high heels. Because of the slim fit of the young woman’s dress pants, they fit snug on her legs from the hem up, and stay snug fitting on her hips and ass. The hem of her snug fitting pants is riding up her legs from her sitting with her legs crossed, showing off her lower legs from mid calf down. Maria can see she is wearing shiny suntan nylons, her exposed skin looking glossy. Maybe she is another new hire from Maria’s new employer, here for her physical? Or a different company? The young woman looks very nervous and apprehensive, like she is thinking of bolting out of there. Maria understands, she feels the same way! The guy was dressed in jeans, short sleeve top, and a hat that says Alvin Trucking. Maria thinks he must be here for a CDL physical. He looks bored.

Maria steps up to the counter, it has a glass partition separating the waiting room from the reception area. The receptionist slides open a small glass panel and asks “Good afternoon, may I help you”? Maria says “Hello, my name is Maria Wilson, I have a four o’clock appointment”. The receptionist types her name into a laptop and says “Yes, I see that you are here for a preemployment drug screening and a physical exam”. Maria feels her face burning with embarrassment, she is sure the receptionist said it loud enough for the others to hear. The receptionist hands Maria a clipboard with a stack of forms and a pen and says “Go ahead and fill these out, then return them to me. Then a nurse will come get you”. Maria takes it and says “Okay”.

Maria sits down in a corner, away from everyone. As she fills out the forms, one by one the others are called back. First the guy, then the female pilot. Then a nurse calls out “Jennifer Conner”. As the young woman stands up and follows the nurse through the doorway to the exam rooms, Maria sees she has a similar athletic build as hers. Her ass looks spectacular in those black snug fitting dress pants. Her long hair is dark brown, and she has brown eyes. She looks just a little shorter than Maria.

Maria is almost done with the forms. “Holy shit these are detailed”! Maria thinks to herself. Family medical history, her own personal medical history, any illnesses or hospitalizations (none). Any surgeries (no). Any current medications (no). Date of last physical (umm, let’s see, it’s July 2025, sooo, February 2024, I think). Now for the women’s only section. Ever been pregnant (no). Any gynecological or menstrual problems (NO)! Are you in menopause (no). Date your last period started (shit, they are nosy! Let’s see, about 10 days ago, today is the 20th, so July 10th). Date of last Pap test (oh no, I don’t like where this is headed. Let’s see, I’m overdue by several months, so count back five years, January 2020). Any abnormal Pap tests (no). Method of birth control, if any (ok nosy, an IUD if you must know)! Last section, any questions or concerns you would like to discuss with the doctor today (no)!

Finally finished, she brings the clipboard and pen back to the receptionist and hands them to her. She glances over the forms quickly then says “Okay, have a seat and a nurse will call you back shortly”. Maria sits back down in the same corner, and crosses her sexy, shiny legs. Her nerves are causing her stomach to knot up. The line of questioning on the forms would indicate that this physical will be a thorough one. For once, she wishes Bryce could accompany her into the exam room. For sure, she will let him at her next physical. But for now, she is on her own. As much as she hates this, it is still a small price to pay for this fantastic opportunity at this new job.

Maria notices that no one else has entered the exam room since her. The guy left as she was handing in the forms. But the two women were still back there. She figures she must be the last patient of the day. Just then the door to the exam rooms opens and a nurse looks at Maria and says “Since no one else is here you must be Maria Wilson”. Maria uncrosses her legs, stands up and says “Yes, I am”. The nurse says “Follow me please. How are you today”? Maria, hiding her anxiety, says “Very good, I just got my dream job today”. The nurse says “I saw on your intake form who your employer is, many new employees have been patients here. I hear good things about working there. Congratulations”. Maria says “Thank you, I’m just a little nervous about this”. The nurse, walking into a small bathroom, says “Oh no worries, we will take good care of you. And Dr. Miller is excellent, he has a great bedside manner”. Maria’s heart skips a beat. “Shit, HE? Now I really hope a pelvic exam isn’t done today! I’ve never had a pelvic exam by a male provider before”! she thinks to herself.

Maria follows the nurse into the bathroom. It has a sink and a stall, the stall has no door. The nurse says “Give me your full name and date of birth, so I can confirm I have the correct file”. Maria replies “Maria Jeanne Wilson, date of birth is April 07, 1990”. The nurse says “Okay, thank you. Now, luckily I don’t need to witness you giving the urine sample, but I do need to stand by the stall while you do. Go ahead and remove your blazer, and hang it on the wall with your purse”. The nurse points to the wall directly across from the stall. Jokingly, the nurse continues “I don’t need to pat you down, but I also need to make sure you don’t take anything with you into the stall”. Maria smiles and says “Thank goodness you don’t have to, the TSA pats me down often enough”. She and the nurse have a quick laugh. Maria hangs up her purse on one of the pegs on the wall, and unbuttons and removes her fitted blazer, then hangs it on the next peg. The nurse, who has two cups with a label on each that contains Maria’s full name and date of birth, hands Maria one cup and a packet containing a wet wipe and says “Okay, take this wipe and follow the instructions on the placard on the wall by the commode, for giving a clean catch sample. If you have any questions let me know. And try and fill the cup as much as possible. I need to split the sample into two samples. I’ll explain why when you are done”.

Maria steps into the stall and follows the instructions. A few minutes later she finishes, almost filling the cup to the top. She sets it down on a small shelf next to the toilet paper dispenser, and wipes herself. She pulls up her shiny black thong panties, pulls down her skirt, flushes the toilet, then takes the sample to the nurse, who is standing right by the entrance to the stall. The nurse says “You may wash your hands now, then you can put your blazer back on”. Maria walks over to the sink and washes her hands, then puts her fitted blazer back on, buttons the two buttons closed and takes her purse, slinging it across her shoulder. As Maria was doing this, the nurse, already wearing gloves, had taken the full cup and went to the small table against the wall across from the stall. She carefully decants the full cup into the empty one, splitting the sample in half. As she caps each cup and wipes them down with a sanitizer cloth, she says “Your sample is split in two for a couple reasons. First, if the one we send to the lab is somehow lost or contaminated, we have a backup sample. Second, if it does come back positive, we automatically send the second sample for a retest. That way, we can rule out a false positive. If the second sample comes back negative, then you will be randomly retested at a later date. If it also comes back positive, then it is up to your employer what happens next”. Maria says “Wow, that’s quite the system”. The nurse says “We keep the second sample here in a special refrigerator. It is either sent to the lab if needed, or disposed of if it isn’t.” The nurse places a tamper proof seal around each cup, and hands Maria a pen. She says “Initial each seal on the cap, then sign the form”. Maria initials the seal on each cap, then signs the form. As Maria does this, the nurse removes her gloves and washes her hands. Maria sets the pen down and the nurse picks up a small tray that has the two cups on it and the form, and says “Follow me”.

Maria follows the nurse down the hallway to a small room with a large stainless steel refrigerator. She watches as the nurse places the two samples inside, then says “I will bring you to an exam room now”. Maria enters the hallway after the nurse, who is still carrying the form. As they walk down the long hallway toward the exam rooms, Maria sees the female pilot exiting the hallway through the doorway to the waiting room. Then she sees a male doctor enter the hallway from what she presumes is his office, then knock and enter an exam room. The nurse has Maria go into exam room 2, which is right next to the one the doctor just entered. The nurse says “Okay we will start with your height and weight, go ahead and remove your blazer and heels”.
