Random Notes.

I have been reviewing my various notes from the ASH era, where I spent thirteen hellish months, January 2011-February 2012. I spent a lot of my free time there (and at ASH, there is a lot of that) engaging in what my ASH therapist referred to as "Voluminous note taking" (which he entirely supported), leaving there with over thirty basic journals full of such notes, only a bit of which have actually been part of this blog. 

One loosely done daily note reads as follows, and is representative of the lengths that Cory Nelson and his goon squad- including CMO Dr. Steven Dingle so far as I am concerned-  were willing go to in the hope of thwarting my advocacy efforts at the time.

It relates how on December 05, 2011, as I sat alone, minding my own business at one of the outside "on the mall" tables, a scrawny little tech who I never knew the name of led this large Mexican man, I think his name is Carlos or something, right up to my table and sat his ass down not five feet from where I was sitting. 

This guy "Carlos" was a forensics patient with a very violent history including at ASH (he had supposedly broken more then one patient's jaw over his years there), very notorious to all patients with extensive experience there, who was only seen on the mall being escorted by at least two large male techs while restrained at both hand and foot level.

First thing I noticed was that Carlos had no restraints of any kind on. I shit you not. My initial words were, "Do you mind?" This scrawny ass tech just looked at me, no response whatsoever. So as quickly as I could, I gathered my things and moved way the hell way from them. 

I contend in all sincerity that in this specific case, they were willing to see that I be gravely injured in order to get their way, shut me up, maintain the status quo. Same idea as when I was wrongly, summarily transferred from the appropriate treatment unit at ASH for my care needs- which my referring doctor in Tucson had personally ensured I would be placed on based on my established behavioral characteristics and related diagnosis, depression zero violence- to one of the most violent. This occurred not only in defiance of basic medical ethics, but even the Hospital's own protocol. 

I was provided at the time with a letter rubber stamping this transfer that was signed by both Cory Nelson, and Steven Dingle. In a subsequent response to the grievance I filed in context, Nelson's verbatim words were (I have that document here on the table next to me as I write): "It is within the purview of the Chief Executive Officer to move patients from one unit to another at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer." 

Therein: They run that Hospital more like a prison then a hospital, in fact. Rat Bastards the whole lot of them. Evil incarnate. 

And as our last full article relates, I was all but identically retaliated against by one Dr. Colby "Since fired!" Wang on the same basis- for exercising my right to disagree with his conduct, and for filing grievances in context- this at the Montana State Hospital, 2015, 2016. 

Could not make any of this shit up if I had to. (No reason to.)
