Robert O. Goans. A04183 REPORT OF SPECIAL MEDICAL. EXAMINATION
Purpose of the Examination: To determine Mr, Goans' present physical condition with special reference to his . reported pneumoconiosis attributed to exposure while doing insulation work over a peric of 42 or 44 years.
The patient states that he has worked as an insulator since a young man, less than 18 ye
of age, during the period of World War I. He says that over these years he has used
many different kinds of insulating materials particular asbestos and corrugated paper
during early years and during the last four years or so has been concerned mainly with
fiberglass insulation. He says that he has worked inaH kinds of construction including
ships and public buildings. UsuaHy the work has involved the insulation of pipes and
boilers rather than walls. Frequently the work involved insulation of both hot and cold
air duct lines. He says that frequently there was dust and sometimes he was required t
work in relatively closed poorly ventilated spaces.
He considered himself to be'well and had no complaints until recently. He says that abc three or four years ago his union made arrangements to have members take x-rays once a year at the Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, California. He believes that his first x-ray w made about three years aga and that he had never had an x-ray of the chest made before He was told at that time that there was evidence of some dust in his lungs, at first only " on the bottom of the lungs" but in more recent years that this was worsening and that it involved not only "the bottom" but also "the top of the lungs" . When informed that there was progressive disease he went to see a physician in San Francisco, s* Doctor Walter Kolman (3490 - 20th Street). Doctor Kolman confirmed the diagnosis and advised Mr. Goans to discontinue his work and to apply for disability benefits. The patient states that he has been eager to continue working if possible until the usual retirement age of 65 years but, of course, he is not willing to run any risk of serious pulmonary difficulty. He says that it is not possible to escape all exposure to dust in hi! occupation, and that he would not be able to find a job in this industry that does not involv dust exposure*

Blood Serology: VDRL - Nonreactive. . Kolmer - Nonreactiye.
X-ray Examination of the Chest: Stereoscopic and left lateral projections show a bony thorax within normal limits. T1 heart shadow is questionably enlarged and the aortic shadow is prominent. Both hemidiaphragms are irregular in contour and hazy in outline. Most impressive is thi fine linear densities extending out from both hilar regions into the base of each lung : some less distinct and coarser strands extending into the right apex. There is a bin .of the right cardiophrenic angle but it is unclear whether this is cardiac or pulmonai origin and most likely it is a distortion of the cardiac outline produced by pleural ch; IMPRESSION: The appearance is that of diffuse rather extensive and moderately se^ pulmonary fibrosis such as is seen in cases of asbestosis. . The pleural changes are compatible with this diagnosis.
Tests of Pulmonary Function:
One second forced expiratory volume - 2.2 liters, two seconds 2.6 liters, three se<
2.9 liters and total 2.9 liters.
*
Maximal Breathing Capacity - 68 liters per minute.
IMPRESSION: The picture is one of moderate restrictive lung disease with nearly '
air flow rate (175 liters per minute on the spirogram). Such restrictive disease is
in pulmonary fibrosis, congestive heart failure, etc. The ventilation as measured
should be adequate to permit moderate physical activity in so far as"'such an estims
can be made by these methods.
Discussion and Summary: This patient has definite elevation of his blood pressure, moderately severe pulmc fibrosis (presumably asbestosis) and symptoms of reduction in exertion tolerance only recently.
On the basis of our x -ray findings and his history of exposure, it seems probable j;l'7 k IOC j

Discussion and Summary CONTUSED: bis pulmonary fibrosis bas been present for many years, that it, is of occupational origin and due principally if not entirely to exposure to asbestos fibers. His symptoms are described as baying been of rather recent origin and I suspect that the cardiac stress of his hypertension may have been the recently added factor, which has combined with the pre-existing and probably longstanding pulmonary fibrosis to produce the symptoms.
Since Mr. Goans is so near to his normal retirement age, he is eager to remain employed until the age of 65. It is my opinion that it would not be deleterious to his. physical welfare, to continue working provided he can be assigned to tasks that do not involve inhalation of pathogenic dusts or fibers in the air.
He should be under continuous medical supervision and if the hypertensive trend contir he should probably receive antihypertensive drugs. In the event that these are marker effective in relieving his symptoms, it would tend to confirm the belief that the cardiai aspect of his disability was an important one.
Previous x-ray films have not yet been obtained for comparison with current films.
The most reliable method of analyzing his cardiac and hypertensive status would be tc admit him to a hospital for a week or two of appropriate treatment designed to control his hypertension and to relieve any pulmonary congestion produced by this condition. However, the existence of pulmonary fibrosis of occupational origin has been satisfactorily established by present studies,, in'my opinion.

REPORT OP REFEREE
In a preliminary discussion, Mr, Smith indicated thot there ran erx"o^-
ment with Western Asbestos lor the period 3.S20 to 1917, during which * West-era Asbestos was the sole er.p3.oyer. There are no records by Western prior to 19-1-6 as to employment. Hr. Filippi tentatively will stipulate to coverage by Pacific nraployers Insurance Company for the period November 1, ."-925, to November 1., 1932. The perioo of 1920 to
15 2 5 had not been (necked, since It was not alleged in th*. application
Mr. McMillan will otipivUte to coverage of Western by the tate Fund
from November 1* 3.''32, to date. There in no information regarding* employment prior to 194&,
It was agreed tbo" as to Hindst o-.r-k Oo-xany* all periods prio:< to
1940 are dimini>rjU2 Nsic.srimllor- will tentatively stipulate 1:0 c o v e r a g e begiy'*-1^ -Q^e^-ber 31.: ~23i, to 1294,, and December 3 1 . T.)5l.
through Ju n
1963 However Indus .rial Indemnity Exchange insured"
Kundet r-ember 31, 1943, to 1944. according to Mr. Smiths so the
<* t p records are apparently erronetus. In any event 'chere is
p.-loyment claimed during that time du:inc 1943 to 1944.
As to Plant Rubber & Asbestos Work3 . Pacific Fuoioybrs will tentative ly stipulate from October 1, 1940. to October 1-, /h;.2 i for "coverage.
As to Plant Asbestos Company, Pacific E-nployers will tentatively stim ulate to coverage from May 18. 3.9?8, to January 1, 1952.. Aldustrial' Indemnity Company will definitely stipulate to coverage J a n ^ ry
1952, to January 1. 19 6 2 . It lias no information regarding
As to Army Port Contractors.' Associated Indemnity Corp., has no iio^r-
nation of coverage of that employer. Ilr, Schwab indicated that
Fireman1 s Fund Insurance Company was unaware of Army Port Contractors
as having been allegedly insured and this will be checked.
Mr. Schwab stated that California Casualty Indemnity Exchange will definitely stipulate to coverage of C . F,, Braun & Company September
21. 1936,' to December 1, 1941. and to- coverage of Harry A. Dutton,
Qi~-c. fatten Asbestos Company, November 1, 1952* to November l s 1958.
Zurich General Accident had one-half cay coverage in 1937 and was exsniesed, as was Employers Mutual Iiabi3.it;.* Insurance Company-of Yiisccir i
Many of the parties stated they had not- bad sufficient time as yet 'c cheek records regarding coverage and err.p.lovnent In view of the ir.ce'opieto pleadings regarding dates and places c-f employment, Mr. Sri/:-'
indicated tint he will go through the entire work history wit^ the
applicant today and then send the infor-rr."tier, o'.the parties, Vhc a:.0
then to advise in wri'eing regarding stipulation:; as tc covors.gr- end
employment. Preliminary settlement mgo t i c n is undo:- way.
Apparently the lien claim for U.C.D. Benefits is an connection with
an* eye condition which is no pert of r-his action.
