SAN JOSE — The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office is alleging that the South Bay’s three county-run hospitals are improperly disposing medical waste including human flesh, high-grade narcotics like fentanyl, and even patient records into its normal unsecured garbage streams.

Thursday, District Attorney Jeff Rosen announced plans to file civil litigation against the county over the alleged practices.
