I had a blood test done about a month ago because i just started a new job and a local hospital. If they found anything wrong with my blood would they have contacted me? I haven't heard anything from them regarding my blood test. What all does a blood test determine?What does a blood test determine besides pregnancy?
Considering the fact that its a job at a hospital, they were probably checking your Hepatitis antibody levels, as well as checking to see if you had any other communicable diseases such as Syphilis, AIDS, etc. They may also have been conducting drug screening to make sure there wasn't an immediate indication of drug use.
They should have told you exactly what they were testing for prior to drawing your blood and submitting it to the lab.
Blood tests are used for about, well how many medical things can go wrong with a person.
They wouldn't give you a pregnancy test for a new job. They will of course test it for drugs. That is the only thing. They cannot give you medical tests without your consent. (it's illegal)
