OP <br />chemical exposures were taken away, it was likely the Judge <br />would be able to tolerate reasonable amounts of some things <br />that seem to bother him at present. <br />The Chairman referred to Dr. Feldman's indication that <br />by removing one from the environment and putting the person <br />in a more pristine atmosphere, in a year or two, possibly, <br />that individual could return to a more normal reaction to <br />those substances. <br />Dr. Feldman stated that when everything was done that <br />could be done and the symptoms are still present, in order <br />for the individual to live a comfortable life, the only <br />recourse that individual has would be to separate himself <br />from the mainstream way of living; stay at home, not go out <br />shopping, to the theater, or a restaurant, etc. He advised <br />that he had a dozen patients that did fall into that <br />category. He then quoted Hippocrates that "the best way to <br />treat a symptom is to avoid it." <br />Commissioner Fletcher inquired if Dr. Feldman had <br />visited the Judge's current environment. <br />Dr. Feldman responded that he had visited the Judge at <br />his offices twice. He reported that the Judge and Mrs. <br />Edwards seem to tolerate conducting their business in the <br />Welfare Building better than they tolerated being in the <br />courthouse under the present conditions. He added that the <br />Judge was avoiding many things and now he is capable, to <br />some degree, to be in contact of certain things that caused <br />serious reactions previously. <br />Commissioner Fletcher asked if the Judge and his <br />Judicial Assistant had been given the Psychological <br />Performance Test During Allergy Testing that Dr. Feldman had <br />published? <br />Dr. Feldman responded negatively. He added that the <br />Judge and Mrs. Edwards are currently taking allergy <br />medication that he had prescribed. <br />OCT 20 1982 x .51 NEW <br />
