In reply to A’s posting, I have the following I wish to add…

I was thinking the same… though was disinclined to put it so blunt…

To A (whoever you are), Full support of your comments from me!

But since when did any news service report ‘the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth’…

I feel an apology should be made to York LINKS, given that they have been unfairly slated in this article.

York LINKS didn’t give that comment. York LINKS would not have been authorised to comment at all.

York LINKS are not student paramedics.

Why should student welfare have the right to demand private information on every member of the college? Yorkshire ambulance service, the university health centre and York hospital and University H&S will all not disclose personal confidential information to student welfare. They have absolutely no right to know.

This article is badly written, poorly informed and full of mistakes and errors deliberatley contrived for shock value.

“The reason we don’t give out names and circumstances of patients is that we must comply with the Data Protection Act.”

sort of… It is for the same reason as why ‘blood test results are confidential and not released to JCRs or college staff’… something called ‘Patient Confidentiality. Ask any medical student!

Drink from a bottle as its much harder to spike a bottle drink. Go to this website for tips on how to avoid drink spiking.

Go to this website to see how easy it is to spike a open glass even when the drinker is right next to his drink.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDxJRa0VnFA

If you do drink from a bottle use the safeflo bottleguard easy to put on and its extremley hard to get it off (virtually impossible)Many police forces buy this product to hand out to drinkers.
