RERUN OF A SEPTEMBER 2012 ARTICLE.
Random Notes: Sept. 18, 2012. As of Today…..
1) Will Humble is not available. Again.
As of today, and as to the ongoing unwillingness of Arizona Department of Health Services Director, Will Humble, to open his door to dialogue and feedback from members of the public such as myself, who have very recent, direct experience in terms of the flow of services at The Arizona State Hospital, nothing has changed. My latest comments to Humble's official blog site were not posted after I submitted them in good faith, and as always, the data contained on the site specific to public input is untruthful, as evidenced by the NO COMMENTS icon shown below. Why this man is going so far out of the way in terms of keeping his door closed in this context is beyond me, but it reeks of undue censorship, and almost as clearly suggests his complicity in keeping the truth out of the light.
Bottom line, as follows:
State of the Hospital Sept. 12, 2012 by Will Humble
NO COMMENTS
"A few weeks ago Cory Nelson did his in-person “State of the Hospital” presentations. Many of you were able to attend one and we really appreciate the dialogue and feedback we got. It’s impressive to see how much work our hospital team has accomplished in the past year." (END)
(Below are my comments to the article, posted by me on September 13, 2012.)
Dear Mr. Humble: I am a former patient of The Arizona State Hospital, a tax paying citizen of Arizona, and a human being. Where can citizens of Arizona such as myself go to review the notes and record of the State of The Hospital presentation? I presume this record is available to the public, is it not? Please advise me of this as soon as possible. Thank you. PJ Reed.
I really doubt we will see any change of heart in Will Humble's attitude. He has somewhat entrenched himself in the same pile of horse droppings that the ADHS Office of Grievances and Appeals operates out of, and he must know it by now. I thus believe that he is somewhat frightened by the very real possibility that he, too, will be held accountable once these matters come to fruition as my work continues to evolve. Too bad for him, he could have really made a difference. But my concerns are not with his well being, they are with that of the patients at ASH, who are still suffering the direct negative and harmful impacts of this overall situation. Humble's cold shouldering of my attempts to create an open, transparent line of dialogue about the matters that I am sharing with the public only furthers my well formed opinion that he is just as dirty as the folks at ASH. And "folks", by the way, is a far too kind way of describing these rat bastards. I must in a good mood….

2) Joel Rudd turns on his own client.
As to the efforts of assistant AZ Attorney General, Joel "the mortician" Rudd, to unlawfully manipulate the mechanisms of procedural law in order to obscure and thus preserve the untruthful, criminal actions of ADHS employees, I offer the following example of his actions in this context. The following is a verbatim citation from his August 31, 2012, submittal to the court, entitled "Arizona Department of Health Service's Response to Appellant's additional statements." Herein, Rudd willfully demeans a TIMELINE document that was prepared by a state assigned human rights advocate, the document itself being a key element of evidence in support of the wrongdoing that I was subjected to as ASH patient. (I am the appellant in the case).
(5) Timeline
Appellant's Timeline consists of a chronological series of descriptions of documents subsequent to the Appellant's Sept. 02, 2011 single spaced 11-page "Appeal of SMI Grievance" in this matter. The Timeline is clearly a work of advocacy and cannot pretend to provide objective or complete descriptions of the documents. ADHS requests that the tribunal (the court) not admit the Timeline in the record, or, if the Timeline has already been ADHS requests that tribunal strike the Timeline, or in the alternative, disregard the Timeline in its determination of this matter. (page 5) Author: Joel Rudd
What a dweeb! The Timeline that Rudd refers to above was prepared by an employee of his client in this case, The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). In late November, 2011, an ADHS Human Rights representative named Erica Schnitzner was assigned to formally investigate the evolution- to that point in time- of an utterly mismanaged handling of my very serious allegations concerning the misconduct of several high ranking staff persons at The Arizona State Hospital; and in fulfilling the task assigned to her in this context, Ms. Shnitzner produced the Timeline document that Joel "the mortician" Rudd has so much problem with. This is classic bungling of the sort that I am well familiar with by now via my ongoing struggles to get ADHS and its affiliate state agencies to do their freaking jobs. As evidence goes, this Timeline document is a very well written, data based, and sound record of the procedural history of the case in question (#2012c-BHS-0338-DHS), which I took to hearing before Judge Kay Abramsohn, of the AZ Office of Administrative Hearings, on July 16, 2012. The court was informed that the Timeline was prepared on my behalf by an employee of the AZ Department of Health's Office of Human Rights (ADHS- again, the same freaking agency Rudd is representing in this case)named Erica Schnitzner, who is anything but a fly by night charlatan out to mislead anybody. All we (Ms. Schnitzner and I) sought in our preparation and good faith submittal of the Timeline in this matter was to provide the ADHS Office of Grievances and Appeals (who have the distinct and undeniable responsibility of protecting ADHS clients rights) with as much directly relevant information as we could. None of the data in the Timeline document was poorly, unreasonably, or inaccurately cited; nor was it in any way irrelevant to the full breadth of actions that ASH administrators and ADHS Grievance and Appeals officials took in violating my rights in this matter, and we did not have any strategical intention whatsoever beyond our desire to lay all of the relevant evidence on the table for the judge's consideration of the case as it stands today. For Joel "the mortician"Rudd to characterize this evidence as nonobjective or incomplete is ludicrous on its face and extremely nonsensical, and Rudd's statements in this affair only serve to further illustrate how depraved this attorney is when it comes to violating his obligations to the citizens of Arizona. He is inept, and maliciously so, and in my opinion, this man needs to be removed from his standing as a pubic official, for he is a danger to the public. Bottom line.

3) Failure to disclose public records.
As to my concerns about the fact that several of my primary caregivers at The Arizona State Hospital flatly refused to abide by well established federal and state guidelines in terms of my right to have clear access to my own personal medical records, as described in my September 13, 2012, article, Dear Will Humble, I am bringing in excerpts from an article published in today's (09/18/12) edition of the The Arizona Republic newspaper. This article is basically an update relating to the fact the another (other than ADHS/BHS)very crucial agency in the state of Arizona's public resource system, Child Protective Services (CPS), has been refusing or otherwise failing to disclose very critical records specific to their responsibility(s) as caregiver agency, assigned as they are with protecting the well being of Arizona's most critically at risk children. I am bringing the article to light because it has direct bearing on the significance of ASH's willingness to similarly hide the facts and related records in relation to my experiences at ASH. The records that ASH has engaged in refusing me are my own personal records, and the fact that the administrators at ASH are willing to suppress such information only goes to show that they are more concerned with hiding something that would potentially incriminate them and expose their substandard practices, than they are with meeting their responsibilities specific to my needs and rights. These problems are endemic throughout the entire culture of Arizona's public resources, including state government, the AZ Office of the Attorney General, and of course, the administrators at ASH. Machiavellian offspring, evil incarnate.
Below are the excepts of today's news story about the issue of unlawfully withheld records and documentation by the Arizona Child Protective Services agency:
Undisclosed CPS records downplayed
by Mary K. Reinhart, September 17, 2012
Questions remained Monday about records that Arizona's child-welfare agency has failed to disclose for more than a decade, but state and county officials generally downplayed the significance of the computer error that supposedly caused the problem.
The withheld information could include details of Child Abuse Hotline reports, services provided to the family and case notes from CPS workers and supervisors.
And the Arizona Attorney General's Office, which represents CPS in dependency cases, said missing documents likely would have had little impact on cases because attorneys for the parents receive the same information that the prosecutors have.
This is the same old bullshit, a childish (at best) effort to ignore the public's right to be as fully informed about the affairs of their community as is reasonably possible; and the willingness of the Attorney Generals' office, in this case, to characterize the missing data as insignificant is as glaring a representation of that public agency's depravity and lack of ethos as one might imagine, in my book. Whether or not they (the AG) think the data in the missing records "would have had little impact" has nothing to do with the rights of the citizens effected by this issue. But in the AG's opinion, it just does not matter. This conduct is grossly out of line in terms of this office's duties to the public, and in this specific case, it is all at the expense of Arizona's most vulnerable and at risk citizens… And children, at that. Only in Arizona, I tell you.

4) A happy hello from India.
I hereby announce the rather pleasant fact that I have been contacted by a hospital in Nagpur, India, the Meditrina Hospital's administrative staff, to be specific, who apparently have some interest in my work in relation to the substandard medical-mental care and practices at The Arizona State Hospital. I suspect that my articles specific to analyzing why and how in the hell it is that licensed doctors, (including but not limited to several who I interacted with who were educated in foreign settings, such as India), in Arizona's sole long term public mental hospital could be so willing to carry on with their blatantly unlawful behavior there at ASH (and the likelihood that the cultural identities of such doctors underlie at least some of this very insidious problem)are what triggered this communique from abroad, and that is okay. The message form them was positive, albeit very brief, as shown below:
Sep 15 (3 days ago) TO: PJ Reed. RE The Arizona State Hospital and Patient Abuse
Not much, but I will take it. It is good to know that we are getting the attention of health care professionals in as wide a range as possible, for the reform that I am dedicated to bringing about in the state of Arizona's behavioral health care system has national implications, without a doubt, and perhaps even international merit. All things, in their time.

5) Laxman Patel, "doctor."
As to the nation of India and the interest in this blog by its actual medical community, a revisit to the topic of the Arizona State Hospital doctor who graphically mischaracterized the facts surrounding my having been incestuously sexually abused as a six year old boy by my 18 year old sister (see my 09/04/12 article of the same title shown above), I came upon something in my ASH notes that I find interesting at this time: In my very first meeting with my original primary attending doctor at The Arizona State Hospital, Dr. Laxman Patel, I shared with him the fact that I knew the family of a very nice man in Tucson who had been tragically shot and killed in robbery while managing his convenience store, and the minor coincidence that this family also has the last name, "Patel." Dr. Laxman Patel's exact words in response to this were: "Yes, some people form India do that kind of work, while I have chosen to spend my life helping people, instead." In no uncertain terms, I sensed that something was grossly wrong with this man's character as soon as I heard him say this. As most reasonably aware people know, Indias' social construct includes a very rigid caste system of biased economic distribution and related subjugation, and I sensed that what Dr. Laxman Patel was saying to me at the time, was that he is inherently better in terms of moral character than any man who might just so happen to work in a grocery store. Never mind the fact that the man who was shot, Mike Patel, was a very kindhearted man who I considered a friend. This doctor's obvious lack of decency in the context of compassion and open-mindedness shocked me at the time. Allow me to remind you, too, that this is that same doctor who declared in an initial assessment about me that the incestuous sexual abuse I suffered as a child came about after my older sister "allowed (me) to fondle her….." In this sense, my suspicions about Laxman Patel's questionable qualities as a man, much less so as a doctor, were right on point.
