[89] - [Voice] [Private, Jesse]

As you're in charge of the Narcotics Anonymous program, I thought that I should make it clear that I'm willing to organize methadone programs and similar withdrawal treatments for any inmates or wardens that require them. I'm of the opinion that patients having more control over the process normally leads to more positive results.

yeahscience: ([4-5] what?)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2012-09-29 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... yeah, man, thanks for the heads up. We don't... have anyone like that right now, but...

Would it be possible for you to refer anyone who mentions it to me? I'd like the information to get out there without targeting a particular group on the journals.
yeahscience: ([4-5] hope or despair)

[Have an incredibly awkward pause, Crane.]

Ye...ah. Sure. I'll keep that in mind.

[As long as they're not arguing, sadly Crane assumes that everything is going well.]

Excellent. Thank you for your assistance. I'm sure that you're doing an excellent job of running the group. It's just a shame that one wasn't established on the barge sooner.
yeahscience: ([4-5] shadowed)

[Well, he just does not know what to do with any of that, other than maybe go bang his head against the wall a few hundred times.]

Yeah. Totally. Thanks. And for the whole... anonymity... thing.

I guess being like a real doctor's really working out for you, huh. [Instead of just your basic asshole inmate.]

Anonymity does seem crucial, since so much of recovery is based on personal choices and empowerment.

More or less. Suffice to say, being a warden doesn't always mean that you agree with the general warden consensus. Negotiation appears to be an important skill.
yeahscience: ([4-5] facepalm)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2012-10-01 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
You'd be amazed how many of them don't even get that much. The A part of NA, I mean. Like maybe it's better off not being in, you know... consensus, sometimes.

You'll find that I'm of the opinion that doctor-patient confidentiality is equal to warden-inmate responsibility. The warden shouldn't always by privy to all the medical requirements and decisions of their inmate. It isn't ethical.
yeahscience: ([4-5] skeptic)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2012-10-01 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I think anyone who was an inmate gets that much. [Although he has to admit, looking at it from the other side, the idea of Tommy keeping some medical issue secret from him kind of stresses him out.

Good thing he has a cure for that!]
doctor_j_crane: (Mask lol what)

[personal profile] doctor_j_crane 2012-10-04 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
As someone who once stitched back on their own arm, I can understand where they're coming from.
yeahscience: ([4-5] side the hell eye)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2012-10-04 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
You did what? Jesus, you Gotham types...
doctor_j_crane: (Mask lol what)

[personal profile] doctor_j_crane 2012-10-04 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
Needless to say, I would rather spare other people that same experiments. Also, I wasn't human for most of the stitching. It was less painful than it sounds.

[personal profile] yeahscience 2012-10-04 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, let's just... not... talk about that.

...What's that got to do with anonymity, though?
doctor_j_crane: Crane looking to the left, making a weird face. (Not awesome)

[personal profile] doctor_j_crane 2012-10-05 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust me, it's related. If an inmate got a similar wound from a fight that they didn't want to report to their warden, what happens then?
yeahscience: ([4-5] can I ask??)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2012-10-06 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, okay, that's true. I guess so. [Like that time Jesse got his ribs cracked by Richie and swore everyone involved to secrecy, maybe?]

...I mean, they'd probably notice the arm though, right?
doctor_j_crane: Crane walking. (Walking like a boss)

[personal profile] doctor_j_crane 2012-10-06 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
You would be surprised. Especially with non-human individuals, wounds can be very hard to detect.
yeahscience: ([4-5] side the hell eye)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2012-10-06 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
A whole arm, though!
doctor_j_crane: (Mask lol what)

[personal profile] doctor_j_crane 2012-10-07 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
You seem surprised. Stranger things have happened on the barge.
yeahscience: ([4-5] facepalm)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2012-10-07 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, and he has nightmares about those, too. Although Crane can't see, Jesse shakes his head as if to clear it.]

Okay, whatever. So... yeah, anyone gets in touch with me...
doctor_j_crane: Crane walking. (Walking like a boss)

[personal profile] doctor_j_crane 2012-10-14 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for your help. It's much appreciated.
