On this episode of Transmission Interrupted, host Jill Morgan of Emory University Hospital is joined by Jade Flinn from Johns Hopkins Hospital and waste management experts Ashley Perry from Daniels Health, and Alex Chapman and Cara Simaga from Stericycle. Together, they unpack the practical and regulatory challenges of managing “Category A” infectious waste generated during the care of patients with special pathogens like Ebola, Marburg, and Lassa fever.Drawing from real-world experience, including a recent Lassa fever case, the panel explores communication breakdowns, the complexities of regulatory compliance, and the critical importance of cross-functional preparedness. They clarify what qualifies as Category A waste, how it differs from routine medical waste, and the meticulous multi-step process required for safe containment, packaging, and disposal.The discussion also highlights key takeaways from recent Joint Commission standards, the necessity of engaging waste vendors before an incident occurs, and actionable strategies to reduce risk—from the patient's bedside to final disposal.Packed with practical guidance and expert insight, this episode is a must-listen for infection prevention, emergency preparedness, and clinical teams aiming to stay ready, protect staff, and safeguard their communities.Questions or comments for NETEC?

5/30/25 - Have you heard the story of Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old pregnant nurse from Georgia who was declared brain-dead just 13 weeks into her pregnancy? Rather than letting her life quietly end, doctors at Emory University Hospital made the courageous decision to keep her on life support—not for her own survival, but to protect the tiny life growing inside her. Her unborn baby, now known as “Baby Chance,” has a diagnosed brain condition, but still has a fighting chance thanks to Georgia's LIFE Act, which defends unborn children from the moment a heartbeat is detected. While some call it “torture,” we see a tragic but powerful testament to the sanctity of life. Adriana's story is one about having the moral courage to say that every life matters, no matter how small or uncertain the future may seem; it's also one that is sure to stir debate and controversy regarding how law and bioethical considerations should intersect.
An Emory University Hospital patient declared "brain dead" remains on a ventilator to sustain her pregnancy, and Atlanta health providers and advocates are speaking out saying Georgia's six-week abortion law is forcing this decision. Plus, Governor Brian Kemp joined members of the Public Service Commission to advocate for a deal that would pause electricity rate increases right before the Commission’s long-awaited election. And Atlanta art organizations are reeling as the National Endowment for the Arts cancels funding. Also we look at Congress cutting billions in funding and how that could impact hundreds of thousands of Medicaid recipients in Georgia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse and mother, was about nine weeks pregnant in February when doctors declared her brain dead after she suffered a medical emergency. Smith’s family says doctors at Emory University Hospital have been keeping her on life support because she is pregnant, citing Georgia’s restrictive abortion law. In this week’s episode of “Plugged In,” hosts Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali take a closer look at the case and its possible implications. Plus, a former Atlanta mayor says she’s running for governor and some Republicans say they want to eliminate the state income tax.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Highlights From Today's Episode “We're not actually giving the chemotherapy intrathecal or intraventricular, but we're there for the whole process. Handing the chemotherapy and the check off, the whole thing. We're monitoring them if they're sedated. We're making sure they're getting their antiemetics.” Timestamp (TS) 12:31 “When we're doing teaching with the patient, we often do bring up that it's similar to when women get an epidural when they're having a baby. It's the same space that we're using. We're using a smaller needle, we're not leaving a catheter in, but pregnant people do it every day. That sort of helps ease a little anxiety when they think about it that way.” TS 15:04 “You have to meet their medical literacy needs. They may not be aware that this administration route even exists.” TS 21:42 “People think that it's going to be a painful procedure. It's uncomfortable, people don't like it, but it's not horribly painful. If we do see pain, that's concerning. It'll likely be an ER visit for imaging.” TS 26:36

TOP QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE “What's concerning CDC officials and experts is there is a multi-drug resistant strain of Candida auris that is really picking up in their surveillance programs.” “While no one wants to be exposed to a multi-drug-resistant Candida auris, it's really the ominous compromised patient that's going to be likely most affected by it, so that means elderly patients or patients that are getting chemotherapy and have some immunosuppression consequence of that or people that are taking immunosuppressant drugs, they are the ones really at greatest risk.” “The likelihood that EMS personnel are going to encounter somebody with Marburg virus disease in the U.S. during routine operations is extremely low, but good to be vigilant about it and identifying that someone might have been exposed, and understanding their travel history, if someone is ill, has a fever or myalgia, GI complaints and has travelled within the last 21 days to equatorial Guinea or Tanzania, then it would raise suspicion.” ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ON THIS TOPIC CDC: Infection prevention and control for Candida auris CDC: Information for infection preventionists NETEC: Situation report: Marburg cases rise in equatorial Guinea and Tanzania NETEC: EMS guidelines for Marburg virus disease ABOUT OUR GUEST Alexander Isakov, MD, MPH, is a professor of emergency medicine at Emory University School of Medicine.

[include file=get-in-itunes.html]Today was a great show about the dangers of aspartame. Dr. Betty Martini talked about how aspartame turns into a formaldahyde and actually damages the mitochondria in your cells. This is nasty stuff that you don't want to be eating. The trouble is that it's in over 6000 different food products and even more ingredients. We also discussed how MSG and natural flavors are almost as toxic and damaging to the human body.

This poison has brought more complaints to the American Food and Drug Administration than any other additive and is responsible for 75% of such complaints to that agency. From 10,000 consumer complaints FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms, including death. They used to mail this list out, but now you can't get the list without a congressman or Freedom of Information Act request.Read More...

Dr. Martini has spent 22 years in the medical field.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Breakdown podcast drops a special episode on Friday for Season 5: “The Tex McIver Case.” McIver, an Atlanta lawyer, was convicted of murder during a trial in Fulton County for killing his wife on Sept. 25, 2016. The killing happened when Tex and Diane McIver returned home to Atlanta from their 84-acre ranch in Putnam County. Diane McIver's best friend, Dani Jo Carter, was driving the Ford Expedition. Diane McIver was sitting in the front passenger seat, her husband sitting behind her in the back seat. After they exited the downtown connector on Edgewood Avenue, Tex McIver asks for his .38-caliber handgun that's in the center console. He later says he thought they had come upon a Black Lives Matter protest. They leave the area without incident and drive along Piedmont Avenue toward Buckhead, with McIver still holding the revolver in his lap. When they get to an intersection, McIver fires a bullet through the backseat. It hits his wife in the back and she later dies during surgery at Emory University Hospital. McIver tells police that it was a tragic accident, that the gun went off after he had fallen asleep and was suddenly awakened. But he is eventually indicted for murder and convicted of it during a 2018 trial. Returning to Breakdown's fifth season, Episode 12 follows the McIver case through its appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court which issued its opinion on June 30. Just eight days before, the state high court had reversed another high-profile murder case against Justin Ross Harris who had left his 22-month-old son Cooper in his hot car to die. This time, the court overturns McIver's conviction in another momentous decision.

In June 2014, cases of Ebola were reported in Guinea and the disease began to rapidly spread across the border to Liberia and Sierra Leone. More than 28,000 people became ill with the disease and over 11,000 died. The 2014 outbreak was the first Ebola outbreak in West Africa. According to the World Health Organization, it first appeared in two simultaneous outbreaks in 1976 in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The outbreak in DRC happened in a village near the Ebola River and that's where the illness gets its name. The early symptoms of an Ebola infection include fever, headache, muscle aches and sore throat, according to the World Health Organization. It can be difficult to distinguish between Ebola and the symptoms of malaria, typhoid fever or cholera. Only in later stages do people with Ebola begin bleeding both internally and externally, often through the nose and ears. Dr. Brantly is originally from U.S. but he had arrived in Monrovia, Liberia in October 2013 and he was working at the ELWA hospital at the time of the Ebola outbreak. He had been treating patients with Ebola for several weeks and on July 23, 2014, he woke up feeling ill. He would eventually be given the officially diagnosis; he was ill with Ebola and the U.S. doctor was transported to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. On this episode, Erica Vella speaks Dr. Brantly who shares his experience and she speaks with other with health-care workers who were on the front lines, battling Ebola. She finds out where it came from, why it spread so quickly and how the 2014 outbreak impacted communities in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. — with Files from the Associated Press.

This week we're replaying a classic GTP episode where your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Robin Frazer Clark of The Law Firm of Robin Frazer Clark, P.C. (https://www.gatriallawyers.net/) Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review Episode Details: Former State Bar of Georgia President Robin Frazer Clark explains how she secured justice for the only son of 75-year-old Jayne Fox, a woman who suffered a traumatic vocal cord injury during intubation for a lung biopsy, causing Jayne to suffer post-surgical aspiration pneumonia and leading to her death. Admitted to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for a biopsy of a spot on her lung, Jayne was initially intubated with equipment that was much too large for her petite 97 lb., 5-foot frame. Following the surgery, nurses observed Jayne having difficulty clearing secretions, and an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist found abnormalities indicating aspiration pneumonia. However, the ENT and nurses failed to report their observations to the attending physician, Dr. Roy Rajan, who also failed to properly supervise Jayne's medical care or visit her in person. As a result, Jayne's treatment plan was not adjusted to treat her condition, and she passed away at Emory University Hospital nearly six weeks after her surgery. Despite the defense's attempts to blame Jayne's age, her son and the rarity of her post-operation condition, a Dekalb County, Georgia jury returned a verdict of $2,350,000 in damages against Emory Clinic and Dr. Rajan.
