Have you ever heard of hospital discriminating due to Psychiatric state of mind....?

Ok i will try to make this short and sweet. I was in the hospital for being raped but the er refused to do a rape kit because I had been off of my psych meds for three weeks and then they said my urine came back positive for methanphetamines (which I have never used). They never did another test to confirm that it was there and to top things off the urine was still sitting in my room on the counter (so how could they have sent it off to the lab). Anyway because they felt I was under the influence of drugs and that I was "crazy" they refused to exam and treat me for rape, instead they made me sign myself into the hospital. Now my rapist is free and has already raped another woman, what do i do. Is there anything I can do or should i sit back and stay quiet and hope he doesnt come after me again.

I am actually more sane and sensible when off of my medication. At that time I was calm, soft spoken and cooperative.

This is quite astonishing. Generally (having worked in the ER for many years) the police are contacted and they automatically acquire a rape kit. They usually have a person who is assigned to these type of cases. You need to file a formal complaint with the police department. At least then you will be on record and, should anything else develop you would be able to testify in court as to what happened to you. I am so sorry that your situation was so poorly handled.
