St Elizabeth Florence: "I brought my daughter into the St. Elizabeth emergency room at 2:00 AM November 12th. I explained to the nurse that my daughter had passed out on the 10th of November at school. My daughter had told me that her stepmother had given her 4 pills that morning... a Zyrtec, vitamin and 2 yellow pills that she wasn’t sure what they were. I asked that my daughter be drug tested. And the nurse said “The drug tests only test for illegal drugs” I said “if it’s someone else’s prescription... it’s illegal, please test her.” He said no. I started to walk out and the head nurse wanted to know why I was leaving and so I explained again... and again was denied a drug test for my daughter. I told her I wanted it on file, if she tested positive. She said “everything your saying is on file...”. So, I called my boss and had my daughter take a drug test at my work...guess what... She tested positive for THC.... absolutely horrible group of nurses...standing around in the center office dropping the f bomb. " - Sarina
