I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of drug screen they administer for Parkland Dallas. Just wondering what to expect when I go in because they never mentioned if it was urine, hair, or blood and I've heard of some hospitals moving to hair follicle tests. Thanks in advance.

Is there a reason why you don't want to ask them?

No, not necessarily. Im not a "druggie" or anything if thats what youre asking. I had taken an Adderall that a friend gave me to help make it through finals a few months ago (yes I know, not the right thing to do and was the one and only time). Was just wondering if I should be worried about that showing up if they're administering a hair follicle.

I've only been given a urine drug screen for employment purposes, but you really need to ask them. Even if someone who works there happens to be on this site, they most likely won't want to identify their workplace by giving you a definitive answer.
