Corwyn's Medical Examination Report on Jamie McCrimmon

Corwyn’s preliminary medical report on Jamie is the linchpin of the confrontation, a documentary weapon that Bennett seizes upon to justify his paranoia. The report details Jamie’s normal gamma globulins (debunking his fever claim), his lack of space training (implied by his blood pressure and water reaction), and the falsified name 'John Smith'—each point a nail in the coffin of Jamie’s credibility. Corwyn presents it measuredly, as a tool for analysis, but Bennett distorts its implications, using it to construct a narrative of sabotage. The object’s narrative role is to bridge the gap between clinical observation and institutional action—what begins as a medical assessment ends as evidence for expulsion or worse. Its tone shifts from neutral to accusatory as Bennett reads it.

Corwyn’s preliminary medical report on Jamie is the central document in this exchange, systematically dismantling his credibility. The report details Jamie’s normal gamma globulins (contradicting his claim of fever), his evasive answers about the Silver Carrier’s crew, and his lack of space travel training. Bennett pores over the findings, his grip tightening on the sheets as the clinical evidence confirms Jamie’s deceptions. The report is the linchpin of the conversation, providing the 'facts' that shift Bennett’s skepticism into active suspicion of sabotage.
