Blood and urine tests are pending and could take several weeks...

WTF? Are they using a mule powered chromatograph?

Yeah, really. The family practice office we use can get blood or urine test results in a few hours - a day, at most, for a confirmed bacteria culture.

Just FYI - Any drug test for a commercial driver cannot be completed at just any lab. They have to be a certified for doing DOT drug testing (in other words - the government gets big bucks for giving a lab an okey dokey). Since there are only a few of these labs around - it takes longer. They all have to be specially collected, tested, retested, gas chromatographed, not just dipped (maybe mule-powered), etc. Otherwise, they cannot use the test for any prosecution, etc. against the driver.
