Re: Lee Crane’s Journal

I agree that your patient is long overdue   to vent! Ideally  someplace,  somewhere  away from all the prying ears and eyes aboard your sub and at the institute.

I think your idea of a blog for him is ideal. After all, with today’s technology safeguards in place,  it doesn’t have to be ‘visible’ to anyone.  Not even to you if you feel he might take it as an invasion of privacy.

However, no doubt, you’ll want to point out that as his Chief Medical Officer it would be to his advantage to allow you access and that anything he writes down or enters on his blog, would  be in strictest confidence between you both.

I know of a webhost you can contact to get the spcecial security devises installed so Crane won’t have to do anything but click the correct page.

Get Crane to write about himself. But more than that, he really needs to write about the interaction between himself and Nelson! Heavens, those two have enough stress between them that if Freud were still around, he'd pay to have them as clients!

I hope all is well with you. Let me know how it goes.

Re: Lee Crane’s Journal

Have just come from Crane’s office, and my ears are still ringing. But he’ll do it. I kind of hinted that his continued status with the Navy Reserve could be in jeopardy if he fails to accommodate his CMO in this matter. Nothing like the possibility of losing both Seaview and ONI to make him tow the line.

I think he’ s more upset about having to use the technology, than jot down his thoughts.  Doesn’t matter that it’s an easier method to record information, he doesn’t like the encroaching wave of the future.

He also thinks it’s a gross injustice that he has to have a blog and Nelson doesn’t.  But more often than not, it’s Crane on the receiving end of hell warmed over.

Re: Lee Crane’s Journal

Perhaps you should have Nelson keep a blog too. (Without letting Crane know about it). This way you’ll be able to get a better idea of the interaction, even closed, between the two of them.

Re: Lee Crane’s Journal

Have considered your suggestion, but for now, I think just Lee’s blog will be enough to help me delve more into his psyche.

Will keep you posted.
