The wife of spy Jonathan Pollard has refused medication, slowed her intake of food and exacerbated an eye injury by rubbing it, the medical director of a federal prison-hospital testified today.

“In the long term . . . Mrs. Pollard . . . needs to seek psychological care,” Dr. Martha Grogan testified at a hearing on Anne Henderson-Pollard’s suit claiming she is getting inadequate care for several painful conditions.

Pollard, 34, was convicted in 1987 of supplying classified U.S. documents to Israeli agents and is serving a life sentence in a prison in Marion, Ill. His wife, 28, is serving five years as an accessory to his possession of the documents.
