I'm really, really glad you're okay (physically at least, I know emotionally you're not). Emergency services were following their protocol, if they receive a call that someone has ingested a dangerous substance then it is the law to respond with police/fire/ambulance and take that person to the hospital where medical personnel (physicians) can make the determination on how dangerous the situation is for the person. since you are dealing with alters, that can be dangerous in itself- you can have a very hostile alter who could lie regarding what and how much was ingested, etc. I know first hand how frightening this is, especially being 'forced' into the care of unknown people. What might help in the future is to contact your therp after you make the emergency call, and he/she may help sort things out so it won't be so traumatic.
take care of yourself, judy
