In the last ten years, 'diagnostic stewardship' has emerged as a core principle of good clinical practice whose implementation impacts both the individual patient and public health at large. In this episode of Communicable, hosts Angela Huttner and Annie Joseph invite two experts in the field, Daniel Morgan (Maryland, USA) and Valerie Vaughn (Utah, USA), to discuss diagnostic stewardship in the context of infectious diseases, hospital medicine, and healthcare in general. Other topics covered include practical interventions for better testing practices and the role of artificial intelligence in the future of diagnostics. The episode highlights how thoughtful, intentional diagnostic practices can enhance clinician workflows and improve patient outcomes.This episode is a follow-up from Morgan's recently published commentary in CMI Communications on diagnostic testing, and the need for evaluating its clinical impact [1]. The episode was peer reviewed by Özlem Türkmen Recen of Çınarcık State Hospital, Yalova, Türkiye. ReferencesBaghdadi JD & Morgan DJ. Diagnostic tests should be assessed for clinical impact.

In this episode, Mike dives into the deep and fascinating history of one of Traverse City's most iconic landmarks: the Traverse City State Hospital, also known historically as the Northern Michigan Asylum and the Traverse City Regional Psychiatric Hospital. Recorded on November 28, 2025 (yes, Black Friday—no, he's not out shopping), Mike shares personal stories, local history, and some memories connected to the vast and beautiful grounds of what is now called the Village at Grand Traverse Commons. What Mike Covers in This Episode 🏥 A Brief History of the State Hospital Established in 1881 and opened in 1885. Founded by Dr. James Decker Munson, namesake of Munson Healthcare, alongside Traverse City's “father,” Perry Hanna. Built as a Kirkbride Plan psychiatric hospital—one of four in Michigan and the only one still standing and in active use today (though no longer as a hospital). 🏛️ Architecture & Design Beautiful Victorian-style buildings with spires, long wings, wide porches, and landscaped grounds. Built on the idea of beauty, light, and nature aiding psychiatric healing. Gorgeous gardens supported by on-site greenhouses that provided year-round flowers. 🌳 A Self-Sustaining Community The hospital operated as its own little world: Farms with cattle, pigs, chickens, crops, and orchards Their own power plant Workshops and barns (now part of Historic Barns Park) Many patients (or “clients,” as some staff called them) worked on the grounds as part of daily life. 👨‍⚕️ Mike's Personal Connections Both of Mike's paternal grandparents worked there—his grandmother as an RN and his grandfather as an orderly. He shares memories of neighbors and relatives who worked on the hospital farm and grounds. He also reminisces about staying as a kid in the Perry Hanna House (now a funeral home)—a mansion connected to the founders of the hospital. 🏚️ Abandonment and Renewal After closing in the late 20th century, some buildings fell into disrepair. Today, Building 50 has been reborn with: Condos and apartments Offices Shops, galleries, and restaurants in the lower level, known as The Grotto Other “cottages” are slowly being restored, while tours still visit the untouched and eerie sections. 🚶 Ghost Stories, Tunnels & Tours The site is rich with lore—including tunnels connecting buildings. Mike mentions wanting to have his friend Chris (a local historian and photographer) on the podcast to go deeper into the legends, stories, and details. ☕ Coffee Deliveries at Sunrise Mike also shares a personal memory of delivering bagels to Cup of Joe in Building 50's grotto back when his wife ran a bagel shop—always grabbing a cup of coffee around 5:30 a.m. 🌄 A Landmark on the Hill As you drive into Traverse City from the south (US-31 / M-37), the spires of Building 50 rise out of the trees—a recognizable introduction to town. 🎙️ Coming Up November 29: “Why Podcasting Is So Special” November 30: A special final NaPodPoMo episode to close out the month Thanks for listening, and catch Mike tomorrow for more!

In this episode, Erin and Autumn explore the chilling story of the Ouija board murder that took place in Buffalo, New York, in 1930. The narrative unfolds around Nancy Bowen, a grieving widow who, after a seance, believes her husband was murdered by a witch named Clothilde Marchand. The episode delves into the murder, the subsequent trial, and the sensational media coverage that followed. The conversation then transitions to the haunting history of Northern State Hospital in Sedro Woolley, Washington, where the hosts discuss ghost stories and the lingering memories of those who suffered within its walls. The episode reflects on themes of grief, memory, and the impact of societal perceptions on marginalized communities.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Spooky Season03:18 The Ouija Board Murder: A Grieving Widow's Descent06:08 The Murder of Clotilde Merchand11:09 The Trial and Media Sensationalism17:00 The Aftermath and Societal Implications25:42 The Haunting of Northern State Hospital38:36 The Woman in White: A Tale of Loss40:40 Remembering the Forgotten: Echoes of the PastKeywordsOuija board murder, Nancy Bowen, Clothilde Marchand, Buffalo history, Northern State Hospital, ghost stories, spooky season, true crime, indigenous history, mental healthTakeawaysThe Ouija board murder highlights the intersection of grief and superstition.Nancy Bowen's actions were driven by manipulation and emotional turmoil.Media sensationalism played a significant role in shaping public perception of the trial.The case reflects deep-seated prejudices against indigenous people.Northern State Hospital's history reveals the dark side of mental health treatment.Ghost stories often serve as a way to remember and honor the past.The haunting of Northern State is tied to the memories of those who suffered there.Community efforts have been made to restore the names of forgotten patients.The episode emphasizes the importance of listening to marginalized voices.Both stories illustrate how history can haunt the present.

In 1773, America opened its first mental hospital where patients were chained to walls, strapped into terror-inducing "tranquilizer chairs," and buried in unmarked graves—and some say they never left.IN THIS EPISODE: Eastern State hospital was originally known as the Public Hospital for Persons of Insane and Disordered Minds, built in 1773. It was America's first mental asylum – and the horrors in the minds of its patients couldn't compare to the horrors of the asylum itself. (The Hauntings of Eastern State Mental Asylum) *** 
Weirdo family member Krysta Lee shares a personal encounter with a spirit in her bathroom. (Cool Hand On My Shoulder) *** Belief in witches, hexes, and powerful spirits was prevalent in the 19th century, and into the 20th century. In fact, in rural areas of Pennsylvania, it might still be practiced today. So it's the perfect setting for a murder involving curses, and a local witch. (The Witch of Ringtown) *** Parking tickets, floppy disks and escaped victims – these helped catch a handful of serial murderers who would likely have never been caught otherwise. (When Killers Capture Themselves) *** It's been called a freak of nature, as weird as it is beautiful. Seen here are terrifying flying entities, giant skeletons, and even the legendary Bigfoot.

Osawatomie State Hospital does not adequately ensure the safety and security of its staff. In terms of physical security, OSH does not have adequate processes to ensure physical security. Security staff patrols of the OSH campus are incomplete and inadequate and there are not enough fire-trained security staff to respond to campus fires. OSH doesn't ensure staff carry required personal safety alarms and doesn't check if staff respond to alarms timely. Facilities' staff key tracking does not include a complete and accurate accounting of all keys. OSH does not follow their process to monitor for safety risks and noncompliance with policies. Management lacks effective policies over these physical security measures, and staff have allowed issues to persist. In terms of personnel, OSH and AAC had enough nursing staff on patient units to meet their minimum staffing requirements on the sample of shifts we reviewed, and a sample of OSH and AAC staff generally received training on the select topics we reviewed. However, the facility depends on large numbers of contract nursing staff and overtime to meet minimum staffing requirements due to high turnover and vacancy rates. High reliance on contract staff and overtime result in increased state costs and risks for staff safety. In terms of working culture and environment, OSH management has not promoted a culture that prioritizes professional boundaries, following guidelines, or ensuring a safe workplace. OSH management has not set clear expectations for how safety and security processes should work and hasn't collected and used data to proactively identify and fix safety and security problems.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (November 28, 2024) – [THIS IS AN ENCORE EPISODE.] On July 30, UK HealthCare opened a new emergency unit dedicated to the treatment of patients experiencing a mental health crisis. The unit, known as EmPATH (Emergency Psychiatric Assessment, Treatment and Healing), is the first EmPATH unit in Kentucky.  Pioneered by internationally known emergency psychiatry expert Scott Zeller, M.D., only about 30 EmPATH units currently exist in the U.S. Rather than going to a traditional emergency room, where patients seeking care for a behavioral health issue may be waiting for hours in a stressful environment before being evaluated, EmPATH units were created to provide immediate support for patients in a carefully designed, calming environment. UK HealthCare and New Vista have collaborated with leadership from the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to bring this new, evidence-based model of emergency behavioral health care to Kentucky. In this episode of “Behind the Blue,” Eastern State Hospital Chief Administrative Officer Lindsey Jasinski and Chief Nursing Officer Marc Woods explain why the EmPATH model is so effective, how psychiatric treatment has evolved over the years, and how Eastern State Hospital has been a leader in psychiatric care for more than two centuries.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT KRISTEN HAD TO EDIT THIS EPISODE SO FORGIVE HER. New York is the place to be if you want sad mental institutions with haunted halls. Utica is no exception. With its history of patient deaths, living conditions, and a horrific crib, it's no wonder this place is said to be brimming with spirits. But is it really haunted by ghosts or just the awful memories of the sick? We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Thank you Tim Light, OMS IV, for developing this podcast. Thank you Kory Camp, LCSW, for joining in to help out. It is surprisingly difficult to be treated at the Utah States Hospital and how patients come here can be confusing for students. This podcast focuses on the pathways that lead to patient treatment here. It is informational without a focus on shelf content. We enjoyed our discussion and hope you do too! Thank you to the immortal Jordan Turner for creating the perfect bumper music!

Families of former Montana State Hospital patients are suing the state. They say the state failed to prevent neglect, injuries and other issues at the psychiatric facility.

Could you swallow a nail? How about 453 of them? One patient in St. Joseph's State Lunatic Asylum No. 2, established 1874, did just that. This collection is one of many intriguing exhibits that earned the Glore Psychiatric Museum recognition as “One of the 50 most unusual museums in the country” and mentions in national publications and on television networks including The Learning Channel, The Discovery Channel, PBS, and The Science Channel.​ The award winning Glore Psychiatric Museum is the largest of its kind in the world, and a community treasure in St. Joseph. MO. On your exploration of the museum you will see historic treatments, sustainability practices, patient art work, therapy options and so much more! The museum chronicles not only the history of State Hospital #2 but also the history of treatment for the mentally ill and is located in the former surgery and out patient building of the hospital.  The original ‘State Lunatic Asylum No. 2' opened in November 1874 with 250 patients on land located east of the City of St. Joseph. Dr. George C. Catlett, the hospital's first Superintendent, explained that the hospital was dedicated “to the noble work of reviving hope in the human heart and dispelling the portentous clouds that penetrate the intellects of minds diseased.” In 1968, George Glore, an employee of the St. Joseph State Hospital, helped construct a series of full-size replicas of primitive 17th, 18th, and 19th century treatment devices for a Mental Health Awareness Week open house. Those exhibits impressed the hospital officials and sparked the idea to create the Glore Psychiatric Museum. Today, George's treatment device replicas remain an integral part of the museum's exhibits. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loren-alberts/message

One of the most famous urban legends in Kankakee's history is that we had a choice between having the University of Illinois or the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the insane being built in our city. The legend claims the City of Kankakee chose the hospital over the university. However the question remains, is this urban legend actually true?On this monthly episode with the Kankakee County Museum, we get to the bottom of this urban legend and much more with Jack Klasey and Jorie Walters.About Illinois Eastern HospitalThe Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane, now the Shapiro Developmental Center in Kankakee, was built in 1878 with the first patient being admitted in 1879. Kankakee was one of 16 communities that were being eyed for the construction of the hospital. It was awarded to Kankakee in 1877.By 1903, the original campus that consisted of 12 buildings had now multiplied to about 50 with a patient population of 2,300. In 1910, the name was changed to Kankakee State Hospital. Its peak in patient population was in the mid 1950s, housing approximately 4,500 people.In 1971, the patient population had dropped to about 1,500 people as mental health treatment options became more community based. By 1974, the Kankakee State Hospital became the Shapiro Developmental Center, named after former Illinois Governor Samuel H. Shapiro, an advocate for mental health patients and a resident of Kankakee. Today, the center houses approximately 500 adults with intellectual disabilities.About Kankakee County MuseumThe Kankakee County Museum, established in 1906, is one of the oldest historical societies in Illinois. Initially displaying artifacts and documents in various locations, it found a permanent home in 1948 with the construction of the Historical and Arts Building on Governor Small Memorial Park. The park's land was donated by the Small family as a memorial to the 26th Governor of Illinois, Dr. Abram Small's son, Lennington. The museum's exhibits, ranging from historic documents to Native American artifacts, were expanded over the years. Today, the Kankakee County Museum has grown to more than four times its original size, housing the Taylor One-Room Schoolhouse, the Column Garden, and the Let Freedom Ring Garden. The museum continues its rich tradition of showcasing art through the annual Art League Art Show and other periodic exhibits.Learn more at kankakeecountymuseum.com.
