Stolen Medical Equipment May Be Diseased
Stolen Medical Equipment May Be Diseased Search On For Florida Hospital Thieves

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Thieves took off with medical equipment worth $500,000 from Florida Hospital Orlando on Wednesday, and the stolen machines were discarded after being used for a patient who had a deadly brain disease. According to the police report, the equipment had been decontaminated with a highly concentrated formula of sodium hydroxide.
Surveillance images show the white pickup truck with dark panels and a trailer that Orlando Police Department officers believed was used to steal discarded machines from the hospital’s pathology center. The equipment was taken from an unsecured dumpster where it was to be picked up and taken to a furnace for disposal, according to police. The thieves may have thought they were making off with a big score, but investigators said they likely didn’t know the lab machines may be coated with a disease similar to mad cow.
 Florida Hospital released a statement saying the machines underwent an aggressive chemical decontamination treatment and given the nature of CJD said, "There is no significant risk of transmission of the disease to patients, employees or the public."Anyone who may know more about this case should contact Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.

According to reports, the machines, a medical scanner and lab machines, were being disposed of because they had been used to biopsy the brain of a patient with Prion disease, or CJD, a rapidly progressive and deadly illness that occurs when prion proteins in the brain become abnormal. "Since 1976, there hasn't been any cases related to equipment related to CJD because of proper sterilization procedures that are in place in different health care facilities," said Mirna Chamorro of the Orange County Health Department. "So it's up to the health care facilities to maintain and use the proper sterilization procedures." Officials say the machine should not be touched, but insists there's not public health danger. "There's not a public health risk. This disease, CJD, is not transmitted person to person. It occurs usually spontaneously in a person or it can be inherited," said Chamorro.
 Velma ResearchThe first thing that I noticed was the large and expensive medical equipment that they where throwing away even after sanitizing it, while at the same time saying that the brain virus could not be transmitted person to person. That didn't make sense to me.

Questions
- What is considered medical hazardous waste?
- What is this brain virus?
- How much is the medical equipment worth?
- Where does the waste from this facility usually go and was it going there this time?
- If it wasn't going there then where was it going before it got stolen?
These are the questions I think we should have answers for. This one seams to be the one story that is related to the Miami Zombie and the one we have the most info on. Think it's a good place to start. So lets do it Scooby gang! :)

I saw that and replied... maybe not necessarily that he was involved in steeling it but there are about half a dozen ways that he might have come in contact with it after it was stolen. I'm gonna check that out. Starting with seeing if he happened to visit a clinic of any kind in his last few days. :)
