Medical waste has, with each passing year, become a subject of greater and greater concern for the general public, legislative bodies, and the healthcare industry. Regulations have been passed and governing organizations created to set the problem right. These actions have cost the healthcare industry (and thus the public) exorbitant amounts of money. But is the panic wrongly focused, and is money being spent on the wrong things? This article discusses these issues and makes some eye-opening revelations about the medical waste crisis.
