> Just a bit of info on Doctor/patient confiential records. There is a law that was enacted many years ago but only in the last year that has become MANDATORY, it's called HIPPA! HIPPA protects you from breech of confidential information being given out to ANYONE without your written consent first.
I vote with anneL and blondemomints. First, anneL's advice to let it go, and let your clean urine speak for itself, might be a good way to go... especially if you're likely to let this thing consume you. On the other hand, if you want to do something, get up on the HIPAA laws at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/ and then see at least how to report a grievance to whatever agency oversees doctors in your state.
