You just piss on a stick with a few indicators on it. It's probably just for the usual boring stuff like blood, glucose, protein etc. I don't think it's for drugs... :P

On mine it was into a kidney-shaped dish.
I asked, and was told that they test it for diseases, substance abuse, and levels of anything that might indicate other problems with organs etc.
But then it might really just be a 'test-of-skill' to see if you spill any.

As with most things in the process, don't worry about it just turn up and do it! :D

The doctor pointed to a cup on the table and said, "Can you urinate into that please."

To which I replied, "What? From all the way over here!!?!?"
Aways look on the bright side of life.

Would anyone actually go to a medical without having a shower? :o

I had cones I had to run and weave through at the same time as trying to fill the dish through a straw!

I passed - luckily I have a really odd shaped penis! 8)

Cheers
