Yes, then, it can only be the wish of these highly entrusted state employees to further the longstanding theme of "What happens at ASH stays at ASH." They do it with impunity, defying established law and the right of the public to have reasonable awareness of the quality of care at ASH (or lack thereof). They do it, the lot of them, in egregious violation of the rights of the ASH patient community, and in patent rejection of patient safety; thus getting themselves sued yet again.
In a context of no remorse and a gaping absence of health care ethics exhibited by trusted public officials, this is all consistent with societally sanctioned sanctioned sociopathy. The willingness of entrusted public officials to flaunt all elements of civil duty, while smiling and tending to charming good looks as though nothing at all is amiss. This somewhat only survives to such a degree when we are looking at the rights and care needs of the seriously mentally ill. History tells us this. The fact remains that both the willingness to act in this way, and the ability to freaking get away with it, flows from abject disregard for the interests of disabled Americans, even this day in age. Disregard that extends into cultural and societal obliviousness. Allowing persons of such depravity safe haven, in effect.
On a formal level: All ASH patients are disabled under state and federal law. Any form(s) of discrimination on the basis of disability is a patent violation of the provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Which is to say that, when ASH CEO Dr. Aaron Bowen got away with willfully denying one ASH patient's exercise of their given civil rights, it was due to such discrimination. And in terms of the fact that Bowen is willfully engaged in violating law and policy specific to public information and the rights of disabled ASH patients in general....
Read my lips: It is known, you are exposed.

- Failures to abide by the required terms of one-on-one and/or two-on-one patient observations, as per even ASH/ADHS's own protocol and related standards of psychiatric care and safety, which directly relates to the preventable death of Barbara West and the above lawsuit. At least two other patient deaths were as equally preventable as the death of Mrs. West, both of whom- Chris Blackman and Mary "Franky" Adams- are personal friends of mine. This particular realm of substandard care practice(s) extends as well to the murder of April Mott in 2011, wherein all involved parties (including ASH's long time chief medical officer, Dr. Steven Dingle) put the safety of the greater public well behind their own depraved interests. 100% consistent with the issue of suppressed data about the the current conditions at ASH.
It is evident as always that ASH medical providers and administrators, and their counterparts in the ADHS construct, have no sincere concern for the significance of these tragedies. One can only wonder how these people would feel were it be one of their family who died in such manner, due to the failure of professional medical providers to simply do their jobs to the fullest of their given ability. For too too long, the substandard care practices in ASH and other such public mental health care institutions, and for too too long, they have gotten away with it. Barbara West was admitted to ASH on the basis of her openly stated desire to commit suicide. As per ASH's own protocol and standards specific to established psychiatric care on the most basic of levels, she was to be carefully tended to, and closely watched over at all times.
Within weeks of her admission to ASH, however.... And now she is dead, and her family is suffering because of it.

- Increases in on-campus responses by fully armed Phoenix police when ASH patients act out in a manner consistent with their given emotional/psychological struggles. Having armed police officials appear within the walls and fences of ASH on a regular basis poses risk of harm to patients affected by PTSD and other like disorders. Bottom line, ASH is a hospital, and it is shortages of security staff. This is an issue originally created by former-since fired ASH CEO Cory Nelson, and which now stands as how and why Hospital administrators would be willing to call on public law enforcement to do the job that ASH security are responsible for.
In anything but the most serious circumstances, there is no just cause in demanding that public law enforcement handle patient behavior at ASH. Such public resources are primarily needed to enforce law on behalf of the greater Phoenix community, and not on behalf of the selfish and shortsighted desires of ASH's administration. Bad enough, too, this undue imposement on Phoenix police, without even considering the implications of having deadly weapons (firearms) present within the realm of the ASH operation. Meanwhile, where in the hell is ASH security? Are William Bugby and Randy Lewis incapable of doing their jobs? Or are they merely cowards with little in the way of professional character, as has been suggested more then once by
members of their own staff, arguably consistent with former-since incarcerated ASH security guard Roger Forney.

- Limited access of patients to the Hospital grounds, also known as the "patient mall." The grounds of ASH are fully fenced. When the founder of this publication was hospitalized at ASH, such limitations were not necessary. This, too, an issue relating to shortages in Hospital security staff, an issue that only came about due to the ineptitude of former-since fired Hospital administrators circa 2011-2103. I attest that being restricted in the day room areas of ASH's various treatment units can in some cases be countertherapteutic and in no way beneficial to the recovery hopes of the ASH patient community in general. Nothing much to do but watch television, while outside the day room windows Arizona's sunshine dominates. Resultant patient stress and anxiety, and the consequent occurrence of patient-on-patient and patient-on-staff violence. What a waste of the taxpayer money that went into developing ASH's outside grounds. What a travesty of health care.
In terms of understanding the experience(s), persons such as Aaron Bowen are clearly out of touch with this area of medical care. No surprise, really, given the fact that he is far more a bureaucrat than anything else. Representative, ergo, of the graphic disconnect between ASH/ADHS and the Hospital's patient community that I was made aware of as an ASH patient in my own right. This and other like conditions create a highly unhealthy environment for most if not all ASH patient-consumers. I attest that, due to the dysfunction of the formal grievance process and the willingness of ASH administrators (Dr. Steven Dingle and Cory Nelson specifically speaking) to retaliate against me on the basis of my speaking out about staff misconduct via that process, these such conditions have left me with an diagnosed anxiety disorder that I was not affected by prior to arriving at ASH. As such, undeniable exacerbation of my struggles with emotional and psychological problems, in a freaking hospital of all places.

COMING SOON: Dear Aaron, Cara, Lisa, Greg and Tom:
I hate to say I told you so. But I told you so.
Outside, that is, a now glaring willingness of these people to further prevalent incidents and accidents that only occur due to operational ineptitude, in harmony with Hospital staff incompetence that has led to the preventable deaths of more then one ASH patient-consumer in recent years. Even more significantly, this crap, the consequent secreting of a simply unkowable range of other such issues. As in, who knows just how deeply or how far this wrongdoing goes, in fact?

Herein we know that on any given day issues of critical concern at ASH are being willfully hidden from public scrutiny. This, despite deserving immediate attention merely as a means to optimize patient care. The entire ASH patient community is at risk of suffering harm as a consequence of this singular area of administrative misconduct and unlawfulness.
There is simply no way that anyone working in direct relation to the operation of ASH has no familiarity with it all. They are all in on it, Dingle, Bowen, Bugby, Christ, Betlach... the list is extensive. Again.
It is that simple. It is that serious. It is that bad. September, 2018.
Obviously, Dr. Aaron Bowen and his various ne'erdowells have little understanding of the merits of state and federal law by in this specific matter. As one of my current providers stated in recent days, "This only makes it more obvious that they are up to no good." Or as Cory Nelson so eloquently put it away back in 2014, "This is the sort of shit that gets people like me fired!"
Obvious, indeed, and yet somehow these people just don't get it.
We know that Dr. Cara Christ is actively engaged in putting the interests of Bowen and company ahead of those of ASH patient-consumers. She, the most highly empowered and entrusted health care official in the entire state of Arizona, does this in complicity with other highly entrusted state health care representatives, such as Tom Betlach, while also knowing that all ASH patient-consumers are disabled by mental illness- vulnerable as such to abuse and exploitation- and yet directly feeding into ongoing substandard care practices and conditions that have historically harmed disabled individuals across the board. While knowing, as well, that her immediate predecessor, Will Humble, attempted to dupe the public in identical fashion, prior- that is- to the 2012-2015 exposure of scandal and corruption at ASH.
No less then three crucially needed federal interventions in the last 20 years. These people- all of them!- know this.
How long will it go on this time around? How many more patients will have to suffer preventable death due to it all? How many more members of the greater public will be harmed? How many more families will have to suffer? These things is I wonder today.
Moronic in character, inane in perspective, all of it just that bad: Bureaucrats being bureaucrats, the lot of them. Blindly groping their way forward as though lemmings, overtly playing into utter ineptitude as though senseless, and directly harming persons in lesser position of power as though devils.
Be ready, Rat Bastards, for another major onslaught of crucially needed oversight and accountability. And if we the staff of PJ Reed The Arizona State Hospital have anything to do with it, persons directly involved in this scandal as it further will not avoid criminal prosecution this time around. This, we promise.

I would really love input of any kind from anybody with any interest whatsoever in the issues that I am sharing in this blog. I mean it, anybody, for I will be the first one to admit that I may be inaccurately depicting certain aspects of the conditions
at ASH, and anonymous comments are fine. In any case, I am more than willing to value anybody's feelings about my writing, and I assure you that I will not intentionally exploit or otherwise abuse your right to express yourself as you deem fit. This topic is far, far too important for anything less. Thank you, whoever you are. Peace and Frogs.
