Carol Costello Presents: The God Hook

3일 전3d ago

매달

In Season Two of her true crime series, The God Hook, journalist Carol Costello investigates the complex case of the Ohio Craigslist Killings—and in doing so, unearths the untold story of the crimes that preceded the murders—and the victims who’ve never received justice. Richard Beasley was convicted of murdering three men and attempting to kill a fourth in the fall of 2011, but before that heinous spree, authorities were building a human trafficking case against him. Now, working with the case's prosecutor, a county sheriff, and many closely involved sources, Carol examines previously unknown details of Beasley’s alleged crimes, and how he used the God Hook to lure his victims and bend them to his will. In Season One of this podcast, Blind Rage, journalist Carol Costello revisits the first big assignment she covered as a 22-year-old, novice reporter: Phyllis Cottles’ brutal attack. Psychologists call them “Triumphant Survivors,” but Phyllis Cottle was more than a survivor, she used this crime to better herself and the world around her.

This is the Sarawak portion of Malaysia. A man in his late 30s is admitted to the hospital in December with daily fevers that last for several hours and shaking chills. He had previously been healthy with no medical problems. He lives in the city and works in an office, however, in the few weeks prior to getting admitted he was visiting the jungle. Apparently not too far outside of Kuching, one can go up into the jungle and see Orangutans. He had gone into the jungle but this was 2 weeks prior to the onset of symptoms. Since then he reports no unusual exposures. He lives with his wife and children and they are all healthy. A few days prior to admission he noted fever, chills, and a headache. He is a little nauseated but no vomiting. On exam he has a fast heart rate and appears ill. His respiratory rate is increased and he is not febrile on admission but later does have fever. No enlargement of the liver or spleen on exam. Otherwise unremarkable. His labs are notable for low white blood cells, anemia, and a platelet count of less than 50k per microL. His coagulation studies are abnormal, serum creatinine is elevated, and there is elevation of his serum aminotransferases.

He lives in a city in the north part of the island of Borneo. He is being managed by a doctor in the Malaysian City of Kuching. Now the doctor caring for this man is married to an Infectious Disease expert and she raises concerns that this might be due to a parasitic disease. She is told by the husband that the disease of which she is thinking is not present in the region. She is not swayed and admits him for nightly blood smears which are negative. She then does a rapid immunochromatographic dipstick test that is positive. He lives in a community outside the city and they go to that village and find others with limb swelling issues who are also positive on antigen testing. He is treated with an antibiotic, not antiparasitic for 4 weeks and the arm improves. Hint: this is not Wuchereria Bancrofti .

Patient is from Georgia in the US and is volunteering in Hérico, Guinea (town in the Lélouma Prefecture in the Labé Region of northern-central Guinea). She arrived in Guinea in December 2023. She was taking doxycycline for malaria prophylaxis and says that she has not missed any doses On October 2024 she presented with fever and dry cough. Lab work was done and follow up planned for the following day. The patient slept poorly, was febrile to 104 and had ongoing cough. The next day she went to the hospital and was evaluated in the ER for acute febrile illness of unclear etiology. In the hospital, VS were 97.9F, BP 105/70, P 94 Oxy sat 98%, normal physical exam. She was started on Augmentin and Coartem. Pause here to think about the differential at this point and maybe some more history and what testing you might want WBC 14, Hb 13, HCT 40, PLT 285, Neut abs 8, Eos Abso0.80; BUN/creat normal, AST normal; ALT 44, GGT 125 Stool parasite screen + for some sort of eggs, malaria smear negative, CXR with b/l infiltrates She was given a medication (vomited 30 min after dose received). She then received a second dose of medication 5 hours after the first) and was discharged. The following day the patient returned to the ER, stating that she felt worse. Her temperature had climbed to 104 overnight, and she developed watery diarrhea and nausea. There were no additional episodes of vomiting. She was given an additional dose of a medication, ibuprofen, and started on ceftriaxone 1 gm IV Q12 hrs. During the day she continued to have low grade fevers and developed abdominal pain. That night she was again febrile to 104 F. She remained admitted for 5 days with ongoing symptoms of diarrhea, nighttime fevers and diffuse abdominal discomfort. Three more malaria tests were negative (rapid test and slide review) Blood cultures collected – no growth She continued to have mild elevation of WBC and slight elevation of AST and ALT. The patient was transferred to a different hospital. They give her a different medication, and within 24 hours symptoms resolve. What is the diagnosis and what happened here with management?

This man is married, living here in the NY tristate area, and this was picked up on ‘routine blood work’ by his primary care doctor. This man had been in the military, serving as a marine, with time spent in Okinawa, Japan. This individual does report sexual activity with paid sex workers while in Okinawa but has been monogamous with his current wife for many years. A number of investigations are done with a test coming back showing serological evidence of a prior parasitic infection and he was treated with an antiparasitic medicine with resolution of the eosinophilia. The eosinophilia returned and he was referred to us. Blood work is now down showing evidence of a viral infection that might explain why the eosinophilia returned after treatment. Pt is HIV negative. This was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. He is on no medications and in general feels fine. Become a patron of TWiP Send your questions and comments to twip@microbe.tv Music by Ronald Jenkees…

A provider for Floating Doctors working in the coastal region in northeastern Panama. This case involves a one year old, so the history is a bit difficult, but there may have initially been a scratch or some sort of break in the skin. Otherwise healthy but over a period of time this area expands and becomes a deep necrotic wound on the leg. Several other nearby wounds develop and become deep and infected. By the time this one year old is seen by the provider much of the leg appears eaten away. This is just the tip of the iceberg as a number of others develop similar wounds in the area.
