Very saddened to only learn today, a full year following the event, of the April 19, 2025, passing of my dear pal John Duran, a rock climbing extraordinaire and generally exquisite athlete in all senses, in addition to his Phd. in education, and the 17 years he spent living in China. John was a dedicated Buddhist, and took his varied strengths to China, teaching in the Montessori education system, and teaching Chinese children, and adults, how to rock climb. And he and I also share in American Indian roots, that particular vein of all but exclusive very personal self awareness that as often as not defies the inane crap expressed by white culture, as that is associated with the fuller history of the US.
Jahn and I spent much time together circa the 1980s and 1990s, alpine skiing, mt. biking, rock climbing, and sharing many a meal. And he eared a Phd. in Education, and as with many mentally ill Americans, yet one more American of far higher intelligence than the average American psychiatirst at time of this writing. And like myself, John was an enrolled member of the Dine' Nation, as well as the Ute Mountain Apache Nation. I am an enrolled member in the Great Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma, and this connected John to myself. Just as with many bike racers, which I was dedicated to in mt 20s, most of such bike racers are white, just as most rock climbers, skiers, and on list goes, are white.
John came and stayed with me in Rico, CO, in summer, 1999, which is where I worked on drafting my MA in American Indian Studies. And he told me about how his Apache father took him on many hikes in the those mountains, telling his\m traditional stories and sharing tribal lore that only Indian people ever learn about. In my case, no, I have never lived on the Chickasaw Nation. But prior to my father's death in 1970, I did have the privilege of spending time on our reservation, vistiting with my cousins, and the like. But in keeping with defending my own better sense of tribal culture, I stood up against the the University of Arizona's effort to take full ownership of the data I had compiled in my own research specific to the thesis document of my MA, "The Nez Perce Wolf Reintroduction Program in the State of Idaho."
I lost touch with John once I rejected Facebook in 2024. But I did send him the occasional message via other such sites, when he was still living in China. A far better man than the average American psychiatrist, far wiser, far more athletically talented, and on that list goes. They are growing lazier over time, the kind of 'doctors', not willing to sit with their patients so as to provide cognitive behavioral therapy. They far prefer the easiest approaches, throwing more and more pills around, and still using electro-convulsive shock, without the permission of their own patients. Lazier as time passes, and no less dangerous today that at any time in the past. I know as much, the fact that bad acting American psychiatrists are working in many sites well away from the accursed state managed mental hospital system.
These many bad acting American psychiatrists make my sick to my stomach in comparison to individuals such as John Duran. He proved himself to me as one of most moral and ethical American citizen I have ever met. And yes, any doctor willing to lie, to abuse, and mistreat their own patients prove themselves as very unethical, immoral, and outright criminally minded. Only ignorant Americans would ever believe that only they are deserving of the privileges associated with our nation's well established civil rights, and these younger white male American psychiatrists, and the female ones, too, are blatantly boneheaded. No other way of putting it. Nope.
This speaks to all those who work for Providence-St. Patrick's Hospital mental health care program. They proved to me that my life meant nothing to them, and and as such, I have lost all faith in people such as Robert Munjal, Ira Gaddy, Jason Molinaro, and on the list goes. The least ethical medical students see psychiatry as an open door to act badly, thus standing out as the most immoral modern medical doctors at time of this writing. I no longer see any of them as valid doctors, and it is via knowing people like John Durn that I have leaned what ethical Americans are.
It's beyond the pale, the fact that even in this day and age, the vast majority of today's America psychiatrists cannot be trusted ot care for persons who, like myself, are affected by serious mentally illness. Sin being sin, crime being crime, and those who cause otherwise preventable harms. Ugliness takes on many shades, that is a given, in this arguably diverse culture. They are all far less ethical that the vast majority of America's mentally ill citizens. They assume that on basis of caring for the mentally ill, that they are inherently compassion. No, they lack empathy, and only care about themselves. Takes far more than an medical degree to prove such attributes, this too is a given.
I know just has fucked up in the heads many of them are. I know more about the history of the American psychiatrists far better then they do. They have never proven they care about mentally ill American citizens, for just as long as the profession has existed. And yes, the American Psychiatric Association remains the least trustworthy governing entity in the history of modern medicine. And on basis of being from sage, they feel they will always get away with the shit they pull specific to mentally ill kids and adults.
To hell with these all too many bad American psychiatrists. They do, as one, suck.
Thanks, John, for the many good times. You taught me well.
