Hello Dr. Christ. Fall 2020. COVID19 and medical ineptitude that borders of criminal in nature.

Hello, Dr. Christ. 

It has been awhile since I was last compelled to reach you personally. There are a number of reasons for why this is so, but for the moment, at least, those are irrelevant to this  document. Off the bat, then, I must assure you that I sincerely hope all of your family and friends are all doing well. This global pandemic is really a problem, and I would never wish for anybody to suffer its impacts without identifiable cause. "Identifiable" being all and any willful behavior that puts us or those around is at risk. 

That said. I was no less disturbed by your response to Dave Biscobing a few short months ago than I have ever generally been. In this case, specific to the good faith and well founded concerns of staff who were forced by you to add yet one more potentially fatal risk factor as persons employed by your agency, as that relates to COVID19, to working at ASH, and therein having to function under your twisted sphere of obligations, responsibilities, and associated privileges, as a licensed physician in the first place, doctor, and your position with the state in the second place). 

1) The greater public is very aware that you failed to so much as mention the welfare of ASH patients in that recent interview with Dave.You did that, doctor, miserably refused to even acknowledge the very existence of the  highly vulnerable adults hospitalized at ASH and under your authority. I know Bowen fits in somewhere, too, just one more doctor of ill repute bearing direct association to the operation of ASH. You and nobody else,, doctor, in utter defiance of the fact that these involved staff have proven themselves capable of conscientious concern for patient welfare when that person made the difficult but hardly mysterious decision to sacrifice her own employment because of you.

2) The purpose, utility, and any possible benefit(s) to the staff complaint process is effectively, utterly circumvented when all you have the capacity to offer these hard working staff under these tragic circumstances is a willingness "to listen": In no uncertain terms, doctor, this is no different whatsoever from the refusals of ADHS officials to follow established protocol, AZ Administrative law, when ASH patient-consumers choose to take even higher risk of retaliation if they have the courage to generate grievance reports, and especially as per my very own real experiences when they actually reach your office. Your "office", of  course, was Humble's back then, but it's also any in the ADHS construct, including the ADHS Office of Grievances and Appeals, and as Biscobing  dutifully clarifies, at ASH. Because of you, doctor, this crap is going today, in fall 2020. A global pandemic that you are unable to relate to in any clear way as that failure arises under your responsibilities today.  Retaliation at ASH was the norm in my time there, I was subject to it by some lower ranking ASH staff and virtually all higher level executive officers, even mortician Rudd, simply for having done the right thing in my own right back then, to the best of given ability, always in good faith at the onset, asking for nothing other than reasonable response from those people. While staff who basically agreed with my concerns were not able due concerns about the same issue- retaliation, as it can and often does arise in the context of job security.

I'll just mention, too, that I took time to review your current willingness to rely on a still less than actual evidence proven approach to COVID19, the antigen crap, referring to children as football players and dormitory residents, versus acknowledging the far broader implications of how your decision making in that regard will impact all residents of AZ, including and most importantly AZ kids. Where does it end? Or does it!?!  

Enough for one day. eh'. Not quite yet... It is critical, Dr. Christ, that you recall your stalwart defense of known sexual predator Dr. Stephen Dingle not so long ago. I certainly do, and that in that instance, you patently presented an absolute disconnect from all elements of the presence in American society of men like Dingle who have all but always gotten away with that shit due to malaligned privileges as doctors, judges, film producers, whatever, they are slime. You, doctor, provided Dingle with the sickening privilege of unaccountability in this very real context, abuse of power personified.  As I see it, you are little different from Ghisane Maxwell. Because no aspect of this issue is insignificant, you know, women everywhere still suffer this shit, not just from men but also from certain women, yes, women just like you, doctor. Plain fact: I have yet to even meet sexual deviants in mental hospital conditions lacking in this basic understanding of the issue. Sexual sociopaths, in other words, still able to acknowledge the essence of truth for what it is once it's known to others. I mean that sincerely, and I will not ignore it.

In closing for the moment, then. Watching footage of recent interviews with you, I am reminded of  the closing statements of Matt Damon in his acting role in that one stage in the Bourne movie series. I'll put it this way, though. You look beat up, Dr. Christ, you really do and then some. The wear and tear of bureaucratic absurdity and directly related ineptitude is obviously taking its toll on you. And while in no way surprising to me, it is nonetheless pretty shocking to actually see. This, all of this, is your choice, however. I have no argument sufficient to deny you these choices, or to let you off the hook. So be it. 

Have a nice day.  

Pervaiz Akhter. Again. As per the usual when it comes to the face of evil and the realm of sociopaths, it's typically all in the eyes.

It is all right there, the scowl of a mangy ass cur, the mindset of a twisted in the head scoundrel, the character of a boneheaded devil of sorts. My very real memory of having this Rat Bastard as my doctor still carries enough vile energy that it turns my stomach. 

I warned you, you fool-you old man, I did and you know it. I did so in good faith, and it is only your own damn fault that you are known for who you are today.

Dr. Pervais Akhter.

Was once a young man

even if already 

creepy looking 

as hell 

still wet behind

the proverbial ears

young enough

to establish himself in the 

medical field 

as a man of character

and reasonably decent repute 

in these

the United States of America.

Even today (see photo below), one simple glimpse of the man's face quite plainly suggests what only some of us already know about Akhter, in fact. For us, then, it is all right there. His face, nothing more.  While my very real memory of having this Rat Bastard as my doctor still carries enough vile energy that it turns my stomach.

CASE IN POINT. Fact: In the first few months of my time as a patient-consumer of ADHS care services at ASH, my first assigned primary psyche provider there (the first of four in a period of 13 months!, and so much for the established medical standard, "continuity of care", right?), longtime ASH psychiatrist Laxman Patel. got good and spooked by my willingness to exercise my civil rights and basic sense of civic duty, and to follow the Hospital's own protocol by reporting to him issues occurring there, issues that I knew to were happening in abject violation of state and federal law, patient abuse, namely, and directly associated staff misconduct.

Dr.  Laxman Patel, Friday, February 04, 2011:

"What? Do you think you can change the system?"

Laxman Patel. Wednesday, March 04, 2011.

(To my entire treatment team, in fact.)

"Your behavior is ridiculous!

Everything I  say you then write down!"

It perhaps goes without saying that in rather short time,  Patel's nervousness became pretty freaking clear to me, which then led to him demanding that I seek another primary ASH psyche doctor. And even that occurred in ludicrous fashion, an overt example of  Patel's own ignorance when he made this demand, which I only realized in full when he came to me a few days later, and stated as though he had a tail between his legs:

"I did not know it,

but I am not allowed to do that.

You need request another doctor.

Unless you are willing to continue

working with me, that is."

"Continue working with him!?! 

After he, himself, had so loudly pronounced 

an willingness to continue treating me!?!"

So I did make that request, and was thus reassigned to become one of Akhter's patients. Who, in turn, immediately- literally that fast- failed to abide by his own obligation to meet with me as a new patient in a reasonably timely fashion, as per ADHS protocol. Ergo, when I saw the Pakistani Rat Bastard out on the "patient mall" at the time, I cordially asked to meet with him within the standardized time frame,  which he refused to do. I then informed him in very clear language that I knew of this protocol, and that I was not going to ignore his violating that standard, he literally blew me off with a cursory wave of his hand, overtly indicating that he had no concern over such protocol. And as time passed, he further indicated that in his perverted frame of mind I was something far less then an American. That went for the rest of my time there at ASH, even after Akhter followed Patel's lead and and passed me off to my next (of four total, as stated above) ASH psychiatrist, Lynn Lydon. But Akhter was definitely the shittiest of the bunch, as personified by the following:   

Pervais Akhter, Wednesday, March 16, 2011

"There is nothing you can do about these things.

Who do thing you are, anyway?

As far I am concerned, 

you are nothing

but a patient."

I would be hard pressed to more seriously express just how graphically twisted this Pakistani doctor's behavior is. It is about this time, when I was subject to his crap in April 2011, that I began asking myself: 

"Where in the hell 

do these sort of people come from!?!"

Dr. Pervais Akhter 2019

Far too late, old man 

you blew it

 fool

you had the chance

you had every chance 

dumb ass

to become something

other in life

then a medical doctor 

known as 

nothing more then

a cretin 

if not a clear example

of Machiaveillian offspring,

the mere droppings

of a Pakistani dog 

in these 

the United States of America.

One of my patient-peers at ASH, a guy named Chris T. who I roomed with for several months in late 2011, characterized Akhter's behavioral characteristics as nothing less then outright racist in form and substance. Hatred for Americans, more specifically, on the basis of having to work in a place like Arizona State Hospital on the basis of his culture.

That said, these sort of people come from areas of the world where neither democratic values nor human rights are the norm. Raised in an atmosphere that in no way serves to meet these specific attributes. Where people are subject to caste, or dictatorships and familial structures that put the less privileged in ways that we all know would not be allowed in The US.

It is that simple. I hate to say it, but it really is.

I hate racism, and do realize its presence in American society even today. I also feel that I fairly well understand what it must be like to come here to USA from somewhere like Pakistan, or India, or the Philippines, simply as a result of my being an American who values democracy and the equal rights and protections of others.   But even so, to take that shit out on persons- Americans- affected and disabled by any form of illness is horrific, at best.
