Q: Urinating At the Doctor's! why do they not ask for a sample?

I was curious- Whenever I have a doctor's appointment, I always have a full bladder. I was under the impression, that they always take a urine sample. Not true. So- before I get undressed I have to ask to use the bathroom. That would be quiet embarrasing if I urinated on the table. Smile

My question, tho, is why do they not ask for a sample? I thought it was required.

I've only had my urine taken a few scant times at the normal doctor's... I always get one at the gyno's but that's a pregnancy test to renew birth control prescriptions.

I don't think urine samples are normal practice.
