hi to all!! i just wanted to take a few minutes and ask around. i went today for my pre-employment physical. i know that obviously drug testing and titers are drawn. however, when i'm about to be taken to the lab, i am told that i will also have a cbc done. i felt that was really invasive in regards to my health privacy. i think my health, as long as its not a communicable disease issue where my patients are at risk or i am at risk of catching it from my patients, is exactly that...my health.
at that point, i really had no choice. its the job of my dreams and what am i going to say...no and there goes my employment. however, i did feel slightly violated. what if there is something? what if even though i am young and healthy, they find something very wrong and either a) they decide that someone sick is not someone they want to invest in and i lose the job i didn't even get to start and/or b) now the hospital is aware of my health issues?
maybe i'm wrong but i just feel that it was unnecessary. what do you all think?
