A couple had been at a friends gathering socializing. He phones her for help. Immediately she phones the ambulance. At this point of time the man cannot remember even his name.he has to indicate to the ambulance drivers to ask her the identity questions.
Cutting to the chase. The young man spent hours in the police station, more hours in the hospital emergency department. The police, ambulance and health staff all say this man had been drugged. The ambulance workers and police have told this young mans sister that the man had been drugged. The sister does not want to believe it. Since this incident happened at her residence then she has cause for concern.
He wants to go home and get on with life. However he cannot. The emergency centers in Victoria, Australia, are unable to give a medical certificate for work cover. So you must see any doctor that very day. The General Practitioner is able to issue the medical certificate. A copy of which goes to your employer or the Government Center Link office. While at the Doctors a request that bloods be taken from the young man should be made. Knowing what the has in jested is important for any residuary effects. These effects can last over seven years. The drugs sit in the fatty organ tissues ( as cortisone sits in the liver) and blood tests will show their existence.
Many places of employment do not allow drug effected employee on site. These people are dangerous to their mates. Dealing with their drug induced slow reaction times could maim themselves of their work buddies. The injuries are then a work safe issue.
When applying for a new job the employer may request blood screening tests. Employment prospects dimming as you now have to prove you are now not a liar. After all one question would have been asked (or implied). That of drug usage. You would have said "no". Without documentation how will you prove that you did something about the ingestion of drugs substance?
So what price will he and his young family actually be paying?
