Supervised urine sample

I remembered a time when I was about 13 or 14. My mother took me to the doctor for a physical. This was a family doctor, we had stopped going the pediatrician. But back in those days, the doctor had one exam room, a waiting room, and an office. There was no bathroom in his office area, it was down the hall. I was embarrassed anyway because my mother was in the room during the physical. I don't remember anything about it except at the very end, when I thought it was over he said "I need to get a urine sample from you." He pulled a cup out of a drawer and handed it to me for me to pee in it right there in the office with my mother and the doc in the room. I kind of turned toward the exam table to shield the view from my mother, and tried to pee. I could not pee. The doctor turned the water on, he said that might help but it didn't. I just couldn't pee and he finally said OK. But I was totally embarrassed from this experience.

Back in July this year I had some urodynamics tests done . Part of the test was conducted in the middle of the room with me sitting on a flow rate type chair/toilet . I was asked to pass urine whilst sitting on the chair and it collected underneath in some kind of measuring device. There were 2 female nurses and a male doctor in the room. Just as the test started I was asked to start peeing. My bladder was full because I was told it had to be , but I really could not go. They tried everything .The two nurses were in front of me and the doctor was behind me . After a few minutes the doctor said " we will leave you for a minute " .

They literally turned around to the leave the room and within seconds I started peeing l it was a really embarrassing, uncomfortable situation to be in.

I'm so glad I have never had to do this in front of the doctor. I'm quite pee-shy, and even if I'm allowed to go behind a screen or into the toilet (which does sometimes happen at medical checkups) I can sometimes find it difficult to produce a specimen on demand. In front of someone else there would be no chance.

No never, if i had to give a sample i was allowed to go to the bathroom alone .

I have never had to do that, thank God...I think we'd both be standing there awhile waiting.

Last week I had a bladder tumor removed and had a Foley in for 3 days. I returned to the urologists office. He stuck his head in the door and said "Hi, how you doing? We'll get this catheter out today." Then he left and a twenty something girl came in, told me to strip from the waist down. She had me on the table, injected 2 and a half syringes of saline up my Foley, until I said I couldn't take anymore. She led me to a stand up urine receptacle and unclamped the catheter and watched me void. When I was done, we returned to the table, where she took the Foley out, told me to get dressed and go out to reception. All of her actions were rather robot like and unemotional. I took that to mean she did this all the time. I never saw the Doc after he greeted me.

Somewhat embarrassing to have a girl young enough to be my daughter do all this with my bare behind exposed as well as my genitals. However, having been treated for colon cancer years ago, all my modesty is gone. She even used a wipe to remove a blood clot hanging out of my penis and said I could get dressed. Didn't phase her- no hesitation at all.

I go back tomorrow to have the stent in my ureter removed. I know the Doc will do this, but wonder what else might happen.

Unfortunately it never happened to me before, but it would be a huge turn on for me if a play doc would want to see me urinating. This experience would add so much more embarrassement to the play exam. The doctor could even hold my penis while I filling the sample bottle to ensure that I not spill a drop. He or she could even ask me to stop and restart the flow, to check for muscle strength. It is surely a part of my extremely thorough and intimate dream exam 😃

Except for urodynamic testing it would be unusual to be watched. The exception would be drug tests. Hasn't happened to me yet thank god. If Prop 46 had passed it would have been de rigeur I guess

Even for drug testing, they usually use the empty pockets, unflushable toilet, temperature sensor sample cup method.

Even for urodynamics, I was given the choice to be alone for voiding.

Not exactly for any test, but I peed in front of the doc just before a surgery... as my hands were channeled for salines and was unable to go to the bathroom and take my penis out.... so the doc held up the surgical gown that I was wearing and asked me to pee in a pot which was held by a nurse..... everyone saw me peeing like a vulnerable baby.

As a child I had a supervised urine specimen taken. It was done at a teaching hospital, a young female med student took me to a lab area of the clinic. She had me take down my pants and underwear. She then wiped my penis down very thoroughly with cleansing solution. Afterwards, she held a beaker for me to urinate into. She saw that I needed to hold my penis such that the urine went into the beaker and said If necessary, I could hold it and point it from the base of the penis. I guess I was getting a little excited. There was no toilet around, I guess based on my size and age, she felt the beaker she used would be sufficiently large. It was. That is one of my most fond medical memories.

I never had to give a supervised urine specimen before, but it would be a huge turn-on for me at a play session.

I don't have any experience about this. However, it is very embarrassing to me if I do so. I think doctor can catherer me when need my urine sample.

I have 2x after athletic events. 1 track running and other road cycling. Track was, easy. Cycling time hard due to dehydration.

I can't think of any legitimate scenario where somebody would accompany you into the bathroom for a urine sample. I have taken specimens from a foley and even in and out cathed somebody for a specimen, but never gone into the bathroom with them. If they could not physically obtain the specimen on their own, they would either have a "hat" placed in the toilet or, if it had to be a sterile collection, get cathed.

One time I did have to get drug tested at work (there was a missing narc and everybody working that day had to be tested). It was embarrassing enough without somebody in the bathroom. First I had to sign a paper that basically said if the UDS came back positive that I would lose my job no questions asked. Then they put blue food coloring in the toilet, locked the cabinet under the sink (I suppose so I couldn't open the drain and siphon water), taped the faucet and stood right outside the door waiting on me. I have a shy bladder anyway...I'm one of those people who can't pee if I think somebody can hear me, so this was brutal, especially with the pressure that my job was on the line. I knew I didn't take the narcs but at the same time I was also wondering what would happen if the lab screwed up or something I ate showed up as morphine (yes I know that's unreasonable but it was still nerve wracking!!)

If the people who order the testing think it reasonable to take all those precautions with the person being tested, then it is certainly not unreasonable to worry about what happens to the sample once it is out of your hands and passed along the chain.

In fact, a possible switching of a urine sample in the lab, or along the way is probably the most vulnerable chink in the whole process. That is so obvious. I've personally been in enough laboratories where blood and urine and other testing takes place, and the notion that something might be (unintentionally mind you) misplaced or mislabeled is not far fetched at all. The places are often a sort of low level controlled chaos.

If you take intentionality or nefarious purposes into the equation, I'd say labs are exceptionally vulnerable to manipulation (by insiders). And to simple mistakes as well.

On a personal and non drug-related instance regarding lab mistakes, when back in 1981 I was operated on for a tumor, a quick lab analysis of the tissue while I was being operated on gave results that indicated malignancy of an aggressive kind. Later though, after about a week, more thorough analysis showed it to be a rather benign type. I hadn't been informed of the initial results (luckily - who needs to hear a mistaken verdict of that kind?), but my wife had, since she working in the hospital at that time.

So, just saying, the lab is a big weak spot in the process. With no oversight going on as happens to the person being tested.

Sorry - but I would simply r e f u s e to do so! Some sort of privacy must be guarantied!Unless it would be a drug test - that's something else! Esp. during or just shortly after a competition!Otherwise strict refusal!

One of my most unglamorous duties was to supervise urine test for random drugs testing

I never have an opioid free urine test and have to prove that I have a legitimate physicians order every time, even at work where I have submitted the letter from the physician and a copy of a prescription several times.

The drug testing scam has become an industry. Those who demand the test usually get "kick backs" from the laboratory and a promise that the lab will turn up a certain percentage of positive tests to keep the fear factor up in employees.

I now only provide specimens to legitimate medical facilities which do the testing at the facility or to law enforcement. The local sheriffs office and police department have have learned their lesson and no longer require specimens from me when I have to renew my "license".

I have had to supervise a number of these. Definitely just as awkward for the patient as it was for me. I also had a friend who is a nurse that had to get one done. Drugs went missing on her floor and they made everyone. And it was her supervisor who had to watch her pee, she said it was super humiliating. Yikes.

I read somewhere that a supervised and viewed sample is warranted for a number of reasons. For one, if you previously failed a non-supervised test, or if there is any other reason to suspect that you might bring in a tampered sample.

The closest I've been observed was a repeat test after failing one. The nurse waited outside the bathroom stall.

For pre-employment, empty pockets, bathroom without sink, toilet with very blue water, cup with built in thermometer.

The closest thing for me like this was somebody waiting outside the door. Never observed directly.

Ours are the same as Jds4med's experiences, plus they wait just outside the cubicle.

Urines for drug testing must be observed. There an infinite variety of scams to falsify the results. Jds is entirely correct about all the ways to prevent this but nothing beats direct observation.

I have never had a superivised urine sample i have just had to give a "clean catch" urine sample thats about it

My drug employment drug test involved stripping into a hospital gown and urinating twice in front of a nurse. Apparently there was an epidemic of folks sneaking in clean urine in a pouch strapped to their leg (hence hospital gowns) and even inserting clean urine into their bladders (hence voiding the bladder twice in front of the nurse). Employment was with a defense contractor, and their rules are significantly more stringent than normal. The whole ordeal took a better of a day!

Never. I've always gone into a separate bathroom, and done the sample alone

Never in a real examination but I have urinated whilst being observed by a play doctor.

I have never in front of a real doc. Have always done that solo. Usually at the end of the exam. In play exams, however, I have had the "doctor" watch
