Do the MROs always send the results back as they are or is my local parole board supposed to be educated as to the body's metabolism? Is there a standard that MROs follow concerning reporting results, with full knowledge that hydrocodone metabolizes to hydromorphone? This case is not over for me. I have had some rather strict sanctions imposed on me and I have another hearing Wednesday 11-16. I can't "leave well enough alone" because I am not 'well enough'. I understand (now) that this Forum deals mostly with employer drug tests,and perhaps the role of the MRO may be a totally different arena than what this Forum is accustomed to. It is too easy to write off parolee's as undeserving of help I suppose, but I am fighting against sanctions that cost me a great deal of money and time. If nothing is done and the same thing happens to me in a month,six months or three years I could be imprisoned. For taking medication that my dentist prescribed. I don't want to educate the MRO, that wasn't the question I asked. I want to tell my Parole Officer and her supervisor that if they are getting raw results back from the lab, then perhaps they need to be made aware of some of the things the body does with medicines. If this was an undereducated MRO I'll let the Parole office deal with that, I just want out of this trouble. Being imprisoned is bad enough if it's for something you did, to be locked up for simply following Dr.'s directions isn't right. When I asked if it would be improper to contact the MRO, I simply want to know if they are reporting raw data, then the responsibility for interpretation falls on the Parole office. I don't know what you mean by 'more to the story',the story is quite simply explained in my first post. No more,no less.I don't do drugs, I never have. No arrests, no convictions for drugs, using, selling, possessing.
