Once you are at the ER, a medical advocate will be called to provide support. Medical advocates work with local rape crisis centers and are there to provide emotional support, assist you with advocacy needs, and help connect you to follow up. You have the right to decline these services. Additionally, if someone arrives at the ER and reports sexual assault or domestic abuse, law enforcement will also be called, but speaking with them can be declined as well.
