There's plenty of literature online covering how to avoid being roofied at a bar or otherwise—don't leave your cup unattended, don't accept drinks from people you don't know, et cetera, all to avoid having Rohypnol or other date rape drugs slipped into your drink. But things happen, and even the utmost precaution won't stop someone with bad intentions.
Whether the drug appears in your bloodstream doesn't invalidate your experience. As Dr. Kate Rowland, MD and professor at Rush Copley Medical Center, points out, it is"hard to detect Rohypnol in the blood or other bodily fluids," but seeking medical attention nevertheless will allow all physical and mental health concerns to be addressed, and will help get you in contact with support services.
But, even if they do not suggest you are to blame, these medical professionals may not be equipped with the most sensitive language to discuss your experience. Cooper says:"Even an experienced doctor or nurse with the best of intentions might not know how to respond to you, because it's a horrifying thing to hear. They might not say things that are helpful; they might say things that are unintentionally hurtful, and it's very helpful to know this going into the process.
