If there is metal in the bone growth stimulator, absolutely not! The MRI has a giant magnet in side it. That is why the signs are posted all around the exam room to keep metals away from the area.

I take a lot of drug and alcohol tests, so here's what I do know: A standard lab test will not test for alcohol unless the person ordering the test asked for a fairly new, fairly expensive alcohol test that goes back about 72 hours. I was popped on this from drinking the day before and was totally sober that day I was tested, but they were looking either for a metabolite or alcohol that's in you for 3 days or something your body produces for three days after drinking. So unless they know you are a drinker, and think they need to do this special, fairly new, fairly expensive test, you should be fine.

Demerol (Pethidine) does not show up in a standard urine test due to reasons to complicated to explain. Every time you see someone say that demerol (Pethidine) will show up in a urine test are wrong. Take it from me. I have been taking demerol (Pethidine) For 3 years and not once has it ever shown up on a opiate urine sample. I even had a test one day 2 hours after taking 300mg of it. The only way it is detected is by testing for it in a lab environment.
