I'm also baffled by the claim that doing a standard issue drug test would take too many resources, since we have a for profit medical system. She, or her insurance, would have been responsible for paying the full, inflated, cost of those test. It's also not a resource intensive test, and there are multiple potential ways to test for it.

Ding ding ding! And here is the smoking gun, the more I think about this, the more I am certain she is a liar which is sad for all women or men that do get drugged legitimately, and not just try to make up a excuse for excessive drinking. If they mentioned being drugged to the hospital at all they would have had thousands of dollars of tests lined up for approval.

I didn't mean to imply she was lying or cast doubt on her in any way. This is a very believable event as described.

It's possible these things were said exactly as-is. It's possible that she or her husband misheard, misremembered, or paraphrased things in a way that matches what they thought the person said.

Nobody should be required to have perfect recall of all conversations they've ever had especially when they were drugged while drinking.
