Abstract

A 44-year-old woman comes to the Health Center Disoriented in the Temporal Sphere, stating that “she does not remember what happened.” Her brother, the companion who brings her to the health center, says that he has found her in a place he does not usually frequent. The patient misses a bag she was carrying and cannot locate her mobile phone. The patient and companion suspect that she may have been “drugged” in order to rob them. Given the suspicion that the patient may have been a victim of chemical submission,
the Emergency Service is called to inform that the victim is going to be referred.
