Can taking an Urine test be better than taking bloodwork? I think bloodwork is better for your overhealth.

I'm no expert by any means but I think it depends what the test is for and almost as important how much whoever is willing to pay for the results. I used to have to urinate in a bottle at some facilities randomly for drugs. The bottles had some sort of strip inside that would react if whatever they were testing for was detected. Usually those were only testing for thc as it was years ago before legalization The blood test does offer much more comprehensive information however, as far as I understand. I can only assume they cost more than the urine bottles, which they buy in bulk. I know a few people who had to demand a blood test after failing a test in the bottle, as they sometimes would randomly give a false positive.

As long as blood work isn't a euphemism for wetwork. :D

Why would anyone think an urine test is bloodwork?

I'm getting my bloodwork done tomorrow, I HATE saying this, I hope they find something, it would explain how I am feeling, I been getting sick to my stomach, getting dizzy, my head can hurt, a few times I got pain around my ribs. Do you guys think the people at the group home would give me a copy of my test?
