CASA CARMEN

"The author suggests that the city budget requires management and proposes policy changes, such as 'defunding the NYPD', as a solution."

"The author notes that standard hospital tests often cannot detect 'roofies' or GHB as they are difficult to detect and leave the system quickly, typically within 3-4 hours."
