Of Dr. Cara Christ and "Hypersexual" Dr. steven Dingle.

Dr. Cara Christ

This is a follow up to yesterday's discussion of the ongoing resistance of the Director of The Arizona Department of Health Service (ADHS) to take seriously the fact that Arizona State Hospital's (ASH) Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Steven Dingle, has documented and well known record as a sexual abuser of women. 

The women included in this record are all in their own right medical professionals, who were working as residents at a private psychiatric facility, aspiring as such to attain the qualifications required to serve society as licensed physicians. Dingle at that time held very critical authority over these women's futures, acting as one of their official overseers in terms of this phase of their aspirational challenges. Direct authority of this nature is only one core factor to how and why persons such as Dingle make the choice to sexually abuse such women, exploiting the fact that he would play a further role in their hoped for future(s) as a means to avoid the same consequences that the greater public would face should they- we- engage in such depraved misconduct.

Which is precisely why we today have no idea who these women are, despite the fact that Dingle was formally sanctioned by the Arizona Board of Medical Examiners in context. This board shares the same authoritative authority that Dingle held at the time, posing direct risk the career hopes of the involved women, in other words.

It is that simple. It is that bad. 

From yesterday, a direct statement to ADHS Director Dr. Cara Christ: 

"I know that you, as a licensed medical doctor, are fully aware of these factors. I find it very difficult to understand how you, in your position as the most entrusted public health care official in the state of Arizona, would willingly contribute to the historic patterns of denial by which sexual abuse has been present in human culture across the board. And yet here we have it, documented on the official record at this time, your direct defense of known sexual abuser who under your authority has been granted opportunity to care for highly vulnerable adults." 

The staff of PJ Reed The Arizona State Hospital and Patient Abuse has repeatedly asked the Dr. Christ deviate away from the bottlenecked bureaucracy she is employed by, surrounded as she is by men of near equal authority, and play a role in holding Dr. Steven Dingle accountable for his known history of sexually abusing females working directly under his authority. Keep in mind we've no idea just how many others have been victimized by Dingle over the years and not to mention in his youth, particularly given that rape is the most highly underreported form of criminal misconduct on the books today.   

Rather then responding to this request, Dr. Christ and several other highly entrusted employees of Arizona's public health care construct- including ASH CEO Dr. Aaron Bowen- have in recent months actively trivialized or otherwise attempted to deny the significance of this matter as it stands. Acting, as such, as contributors to a deeply sickening element to criminal misconduct that is known to most likely be imposed on all persons vulnerable to abuse, from women, to children, the elderly, and yes the mentally ill.   

Ironic perhaps, but in no way coincidental, that Pulitzer Prize winning author and columnist Leonard Pitts, Jr.'s weekly editorial, published in over forty three major newspapers across the nation, includes the following plea to all Americans of reasonable conscience: 
   
"This obtuseness is unique to no party- or person. It belongs to us as a nation.... It's the reason one woman in six is the victim of an attempted or completed sexual assault, the reason hundreds of thousands of rape kits gather dust in warehouses. It is the reason only six of every thousand rapes results in a prison sentence. And it is one reason for why almost 70 percent of rapes are never reported... We should find this abhorrent, but not all us do. Some say the right things about sexual assault, but when it comes time for accountability, they flinch, distorting morality so as to create sympathy for perpetrators while survivors live in guilt and shame. " (See: "We should all find sexual assault abhorrent, but not all of us do." Miami Herald/Associated Press. September 25, 2018.)

This is you, Dr. Christ. A core part of the reason. I am certain you disagree my opinion on this, but that- to me- is only one more element to abject denial about this issue. If you continue with your willingness further this horrific aspect of health conditions, I promise that you, as a licensed medical doctor, will be able to forget it. We will continue to follow your path as may apply once this scandal settles, as we have in the context of former ADHS staff who were exposed for their garbage in 2012-2015. 

That is all for now.
