Ds is 18 and went on a 18-30’s holiday to Laganas. He purposely didn’t tell me beforehand because he knew i would worry or stop him going.
Yesterday he called in tears saying he needs to come back and that he’d had his drink spiked and ended up in hospital.
He’s on the next flight back now and I can’t wait to get him home safe.
Now here’s the story he gave me which all sounds really odd.
He went to a bar and left his drink while he went to the loo. After returning and having a bit more he collapsed and doesn’t remember anything. According to his friends his face was making some weird contorting expressions and he had a seizure. He wasn’t sick (that he knows of) Next day he wakes up in hospital and is discharged but still feeling spaced out and unwell.
Then yesterday he’s crying and panicking all day and just wanting to come home.
What on earth could it have been that was given to him?
Then apparently these two ambulance guys chuck him in their ambulance roughly and allow one friend to go with him. It’s a private hospital so they’re now demanding payment. They said he could use a friend’s medical insurance if needed so long as they get their money.
Then apparently they return to his hotel and repeatedly threaten asking for the money or they’ll ‘take him’
I emailed the hospital and said they need to send me the bill and tell me what exactly they treated him with and what the diagnosis was. I’ve heard nothing yet.
This is all so stressful! At least ds is on the next flight home. He’s learned a very big lesson in all this.
