[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s important medical information and should be routine. If a baby is going to go through withdrawal symptoms after delivery or there are medical complications associated with the drugs the providers need to know.[/quote]

You think medical tests should be given without consent? Because I agree that this is useful medical information, but the point is that it is being collected in a dishonest and unethical way. If providers want to know, they should build trust that they won't go running to CPS and then actually ask the patient and then don't go running to CPS.

Otherwise, you have doctors intervening without patient consent and in addition to eroding trust in the medical system more generally, the result is that drug users will not seek prenatal care at all. [/quote]

Consent to treat WAS GIVEN. Yes, it was.  You absolutely signed some paperwork -- even if just a check on the iPad check-in kiosk. In addition there was a 98% chance that the 4-point type on the triplicate copy of the LabCorp form spoke to consent.

You don't get an itemized consent form when you roll in the door of your doctor's.[/quote]
