Need help understanding narcotics screening (1 Viewer)

[Mitchell0618]

I have a friend, yes a real friend, that is having issues with husband and there was an incident that occurred. Not to go into details she was in a minor accident and went to the hospital. She was released a couple days later, and was given a screening from her urine to give to her primary dr with the following information and I was hoping someone can explain it to me and what would this in her system cause her (memory loss, etc)

cocaine 300 ng/ml

amphetamine 1000 ng/ml

cannabinoid 50 ng/ml

barbiturate 200 ng/ml

benzodiazepine 200 ng/ml

phencyclidine 25 ng/ml

Detection levels

 

[Mitchell0618]

Can you tell me how severe or how high these levels are? Are they low or high?

Can you tell me how severe or how high these levels are? Are they low or high?

No way of really knowing unless you know when she used last.

But, Even if you were to hear they are "low levels", the fact that we're talking about meth, cocaine, pcp, bennies, weed and barbiturates means you likely should be concerned for her well being.

He means those are the detection cutoffs in the test, NOT the levels your friend had in her blood.

There should be one column with your friend's levels, and another column with the "cutoff" levels. Usually the cutoff column is on the right, to make it nice and confusing to read

it is blank on either side

 

[Mitchell0618]

let me ask/add something. If urine came back with blood, could and I know we are not doctors or police, could it come from intercourse?

 

[jon_mx]

it is blank on either side

Maybe they did not detect any.

 

[Mitchell0618]

i hope so. She wasnt taking drugs, she was given some without her consent. But I am trying to get proof

 

[Apple Jack]

Those are definitely detection levels, not her levels. Is that all you are asking? What else does the document say? Why doesn't she just call and ask the doctor or staff anything she is unclear on?

It's odd that the test does not include opiates or pcp, as the most basic 5 panels do, so it's as if they were asked to only test for those drugs.

 

[Mitchell0618]

she is going to see her primary next week, just out of hospital yesterday afternoon and that was when they handed her the paperwork

im concerned that she has blank spots in her memory from saturday night through tuesday morning and now with blood in her urine

That's a serious cocktail mix right there, doesn't sound casual IMO.

 

[Mitchell0618]

to be blunt, i am concerned her husband drugged her and took advantage and that is where the blood came from

i understand the concern, but so far there's no evidence of drugging. The numbers you have are very clearly detection levels - not her levels. That's why they all end in -00 or -50 or -25

 

[mr roboto]

So you were thinking that the tox screen from hospital from an unrelated accident may prove her husband was drugging her?

 

[Steve Tasker]

Give her Uni's number.

has she voiced the same concern? why do you know she has blood in her urine? if she thinks she has been sexually assaulted, she should go to the police.

 

[Sweet J]

Is your relationship with her romantic?

Edit: I ask, because there may be a number of reasons why blood is in the urine. For you to wonder if it is from intercourse . . . I don't know, it sounds weird.

 

[Mitchell0618]

she is a good friend - her husband abuses drugs - he has forced himself on her recently - she has voiced her concern and says she has pains in the area - she cant remember alot about the weekend - accident was related to the drugs and weekend

 

[Apple Jack]

the doctor would have explained to her what that was. this reads like you saw this without her present, which would be really shady.

 

[coyote5]

Hooray it's Friday!

 

[Mitchell0618]

no, she told me about it. i was just curious, but will wait for her to she PCP

 

[Chemical X]

reading this I feel like I have been drugged.

We can be a good resource, and a good place to process. But you've got to be open and honest. Just saying.

 

[Apple Jack]

is this an in real life friend or a "friend" from the internet?

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Is her hubby darren sharper

 

[randall146]

If the accident had to do with drugs, then she must have taken some drugs voluntarily.

If she's "been having pains in that area" then the pains happened before the suspected weekend roofie-fest

She's lying to you, you're lying to us, or both

 

[RUSF18]

no, she told me about it. i was just curious, but will wait for her to she PCP

That's probably next on the checklist.
