We had a donor give us a urine specimen that was temperature out of range. We get these a lot – I guess unseasoned cheaters don’t realize that temperature is one of the many ways collectors determine if a specimen is legitimate. This was not a DOT test, so we explained we could not accept the sample, gave her some water, and asked her to wait in the waiting room and let us know when she’s ready to try again.
In the waiting room, she began to complain that her chest was hurting. She began gagging and spitting up water. We immediately offered to call an ambulance, but she refused. She said she had gallbladder and pancreas issues causing her to vomit and her chest pains.
