About the Book

What if the tools that heal us are quietly poisoning the planet? Every day, hospitals, clinics, and research labs around the world generate mountains of waste, much of it dangerous, little of it discussed. From blood-soaked bandages to radioactive isotopes, from discarded needles to expired pharmaceuticals, the detritus of modern medicine flows through a complex, often invisible pipeline of risk, regulation, and neglect. Beneath the Scalpel: The Hidden Life of Medical Waste takes readers deep into the shadow system of healthcare, revealing where waste comes from, where it goes, and what it leaves behind. With clinical precision and investigative depth, this book exposes: The real dangers of infectious, chemical, and nuclear healthcare waste The haunting history of medical debris washing up on public beaches The communities forced to live next to incinerators and toxic dumps The failures of regulation-and the cost of silence The emerging solutions that could change everything Drawing on global case studies, scientific research, and firsthand accounts, Beneath the Scalpel uncovers a system in urgent need of reform. It is a book for anyone who has ever stepped into a hospital, received a prescription, or trusted that the system behind their care is clean, safe, and just. Because the real patient, in the end, is the planet itself. Wayne J. Gombar is a seasoned telecommunications executive, published author, and doctoral scholar with a lifelong dedication to public service and environmental justice. With over 30 years of experience managing complex infrastructure projects in secure government environments, Gombar brings a unique systems-based perspective to the healthcare and environmental challenges of our time. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Homeland Security, a Master of Science in Emergency Management, and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Criminal Justice at Keiser University. His research interests include sustainability, critical infrastructure, and the hidden externalities of modern systems. Beneath the Scalpel is his most urgent and revealing work to date.
