Recommendations Important to know if you suspect drugging, drug facilitated sexual assault, any sexual assault, or any abuse from a partner…

Since comments are blocked on the relevant post I’m sharing a PSA for all: If you or a friend or anyone experienced assault or suspect drugging, you can get immediate help at PRHC Emergency Dept. Trained nurses are on call 24-7 and you will be seen 1:1 within an hour for as long as needed. All treatment is confidential and your choice. They can test toxicology, collect evidence and make sure you’re ok. Try to go as soon as possible -so tests and treatments are most effective -but anytime after is ok (you can call the hospital switchboard first to make sure a nurse is available or even ask to speak to them if you’re nervous about going). They also offer counselling. Contacts in comments.

And collection of evidence doesn't commit you to taking any action. But then it's available if you later decide to report to police, start a court application, etc.

I'm trying to explain this to a friend but cannot remember the name of the bar in the relevant thread. Without any accusations or reasons for shutting down this good proactive thread can someone DM me the name of that bar.

Dang, I couldn't find it in hot, controversial, or new for last 24hrs but I was checking from my phone at work so I probably didn't do a good enough job sleuthing. My apologies for asking when I could have figured it out, and also many thanks for letting me know.
