A member asked:
Would a drug testing lab require that the door be left open during the actual urine specimen collection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: I haven't seen anybody leave the door open but some will require that an attendant be present during collection. Some will check the temperature of the urine to make sure that you didn't bring anything from home provided by somebody else.
