Was Dr. Cedrek McFadden voted off Survivor this week?
(WSPA) — Dr. Cedrek McFadden will no longer appear on season 48 of Survivor, after being voted off the show Wednesday night. McFadden, a 46-year-old colorectal surgeon at Prisma Health in Greenville, was one of 18 castaways competing on the CBS show. Contestants are stranded on the islands of Fiji where they compete in challenges and eventually vote off other castaways. Season 48 splits contestants into three tribes of six with the ultimate goal of claiming the title of Sole Survivor and a $1 million prize. McFadden, who frequently appears as a medical consultant on 7NEWS at 4 p.m., usually performs life-saving operations. Though he was voted out out of the game, Dr. McFadden did qualify for the jury, who is tasked with voting for the Sole Survivor. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Doctors warn of possible SC measles cases ahead of spring break
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – Doctors at Prisma Health said South Carolina could see cases of the measles with expected travel over spring break. Outbreaks have been seen in Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and Texas, but there has not currently been a case reported in South Carolina. Doctors said the virus is highly contagious since it can stay suspended in the air and spreads through respiratory droplets. They also said the illness can lead to serious complications following the viral infection, like pneumonia, encephalitis and even things like an ear infection. Up to 30% of people infected get a secondary complication. One person with measles can infect 12 to 18 people who don't have the antibodies. 'As more and more people have chosen not to vaccinate, the level of protection in the community has diminished. When that happens, it means that we have more children who are susceptible,' said Robin LaCroix with Prisma Health Children's Hospital. Most measles cases are in children ages five to 17 who are unvaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status. Doctors said for people who have gotten both doses of the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine, it is 98% to 99% effective. However, the vaccine from 1963 to 1967 did not work very well. It is recommended for those who received it to get revaccinated. They can get their primary physician to do a measles titers blood test to see if they have been vaccinated successfully against the virus, said Anna-Kathryn Burch, division director of pediatric infectious diseases at Prisma Health Children's Hospital Midlands. 'If you have not had your immunization and you know you haven't and you're an adult, then I highly recommend getting your vaccine series, because not only will it protect you but it will protect others who are not able to get the vaccine,' Burch said. If someone had measles and recovered, then they have lifetime immunity to the virus. LaCroix suggested staying home and using telehealth if someone suspects their child or themselves have measles.
