[Private to Johnny Cade]

I understand you're a friend of Dallas's? I'd like to know more about your personal experiences with him- if you're not opposed, that is.

[Private to Dallas]

Recall the interior of my ship that I told you about? Why don't you come by and see it! When was your last birthday, by the way?

[Infirmary Direct Care Filter]

I must admit, these concerns about doctor/patient confidentiality from Mr. Russett I worry might lead to a very inappropriate opinion from his inmate, who desires to become a physician. While seeking to teach him to be more open and welcoming, he regards groups of people with suspicion.

[Which, given his loyalties to his fake-family members, he tries not to show too much investment in Victor. But there's a point when things can't be ignored, and he'd rather Rex not be treated with even more suspicion if he did manage to become a doctor again himself.]

This is going to affect morale and the ability to treat patients. It should be dealt with, but I'm not certain how.

I am. I saw you two out together the other day. At the library, actually. [A strange place for Dallas to be in.] I didn't want to interrupt, however.

Is alright! I understand.

I would like to think I was his friend before I was his warden.

It's good to meet you, too! I'm hoping sometime you can tell me how you came to know each other.

Sure thing, though. Ain't like I've got anything else planned. [He's excited to see this so called ship. Truly he is.]

Man, I don't even know. Can't complain about last year's. Year before might've been better.

[He's trying to keep his excitement low, almost non-existent. But it's so haaaard.] I'll be there in a few.

We'll have to do something better for this one then.

[In the meantime, he scrambles to throw a bunch of his haphazardly strewn knicknacks in a box (at least Dally can be confident that his warden will never make him be terribly tidy) as he waits for Dallas to show up. He's promised the old girl a visitor, and she's excited at the prospect.]

It's not exactly an uncommon concern, is it?

If you think it'll affect his inmate, isn't it best to mention it to him? Express that you understand his concerns, but you're worried it might affect the way his inmate acts?

Yes, but if you're saying this to us, sir, you are getting involved, and perhaps with the wrong people. Your concerns should be expressed to him, and carefully so, rather than to us.

You do realize that these messages are exactly what he's thinking is going on? And by suggesting that we 'deal with it,' you're just giving him more reason to think it. If you have a problem with how he handles things, then take it to him directly.

Victor's his inmate and I know that he's doing the best he can with him. This just seems like you're undermining that.

I admit, I'm concerned with this as well. I feel it's going to be another thing that he's going to attempt to use to accuse me of doing something wrong.

I know. I don't really approve of how you're being treated. Not after everything you've done and continue to do for everyone.

I wish we could do a survey of the people you've aided.

I'm sure it's something from his own world that's given him this phobia, but I'm tired of feeling attacked. I just wish I knew what to do. I offered him my personal medical files, but frankly, now I'm not at all certain he wouldn't use them against me if he had a half a chance.

Every time I talk to him, he accuses me of patronizing him, and I don't know. I've worked in a lot of hostile environments, but right now I don't feel at home in my own infirmary.

I'm starting to understand what you mean. I apparently can no longer request advice when I have a concern without being the subject of edgy suspicion.

I've seen how hostile he becomes. You're a wonderful woman, Martha. I've heard what you did for the entire planet. But he's viewing you- and us all, through tinted goggles of some sort.

I still believe you're doing right by these people. I wish there was a survey for that... Except I'm too lazy to bother with one.

If by 'dealt with' you mean calmly addressing Mr. Russett's concerns and accusations, whether they seem outrageous or even a little offensive, then yes, I agree.

We need to stop assuming that everyone's going to react to our medical practices in the same way. What's standard to some can be bewildering to others. I think also think that discussing Mr. Russett's opinions like they're a threat is the wrong way to go about this, as is cutting Mr. Russett out of the equation in order to worry about the impact this may or may not have on his inmate.

Being accused of putting people into comas or being out to harm them is more than 'a little offensive', James.

The accusations are clearly irrational, Martha. I know that accusations of this matter are hard for any good doctor to hear, but medicine and personal health can be a sensitive subject for some people, and sensitivity and rationality don't often walk hand-in-hand.

You're a good doctor. Best ignore him for now, develop a thick skin to this sort of thing - because it will happen again, that's just the nature of the job - and let the rest of us try and figure out how to mediate the situation.

Re: Filter

Escalation does seem like the thing furthest from your mind. At the moment, Mr. Russett's concerns need to be addressed, and talk of his inmate needs to be left at the door - as it were.
