Quite frankly, I would like to see these tests moved out of the clinical setting entirely. Make it a legal test performed in a state crime lab. Then drunks could be kept out of the emergency rooms, med techs could concentrate on medicine, and the police could handle things on their end and get paid to testify in court. I might not trust the results as well, but innocent hospital employees wouldn't have to get stuck in the middle.

I think you are probably right about the process. Until they change it, though, that tech and that hospital should know what they’re committing themselves to by accepting the testing job.
