Dana and Patricia met me with a clinician who could explain the result.

The retained item had been processed through the appropriate laboratory route.

It wasn’t something a staff member had identified by looking at the cup or testing it at a desk.

An unapproved medication had been detected in the drink.

I looked at the report.

“Noah wasn’t supposed to receive that in a drink?”

“No,” the clinician said.

“Do you know how much he took?”
