Puncture Page #5

i never agreed to drop anything.

-i've called 15 other firms

and no one would touch it.

i'm not dropping the case.

well that's not your decision

to make.

so you want to call Dancort or

should i?

it's too big, Mike.

i have Senator O'Reilly calling

in from Washington DC for you

Mike?

hello.

and then the GPO,

in our case United Medical

Health Supplies, will drop an

exclusive contract with

Thompson Needles, who in turn

give them a kick back, for

every needle sold.

boxing out any competition

regardless of how superior or

how much safer their product is.

if Thompson Needles gonna come

out with an actual safe needle,

they'd have to retool

recast the molding, they have to

replace their entire assembly

line, like starting from

scratch.

obviously something that

they're not interested in doing

because of the high upfront

ingenious.

this is a tremendous inovation.

as you know, i have been

addressing safety issues for

hospital workers for years.

i'm intrigue by your project,

Mr. Dancort, to say the least.

-thank you.

this is a build proposal

mandating the use of Saftey

Needles.

we're in the process of

circulating a petition in every

single hospital across the

United States

so we can mobilized nurses

union and association to help

you lobby. -right.

we have some interest from some

financial institutions

regarding investments packages

and we're gonna try and get

them in every hospital across

the country.

Senator, you're giving us the

impedous to save thousands of

lives.

that was great.. -great job.

i want to go to the bathroom -

alright.

excuse me, Mr. Weiss? -yeah.

may i speak with you, just a

second? -yeah.

Senator. -Mr. Weiss.

i want to let you know, how

much i appreciate you and your

colleagues..

bringing this to my attention.

as i said,

the safety and wellbeing of

health care workers have been

high on my agenda from day one

and we also agree that urgent

action is what is called for.

that's great.

it's good to meet someone on

board to fight the good fight.

it would be honor to offer my

support but

only if you drop this case.

and let Mr. Dancort team up

with another firm.

the coccaine,

under your nose.

it's a..

i'm not judging you, Mike.

you're not the first person to

lobby a senator hopped up on

narcotic

and i'm sure you not even the

first person to do so, today

there is absolutely no way we

can put you before the house

comitte let alone the senate.

wait..

my client has approached every

other lawfirm in Texas. they

all said no.

he's broke.

this is..

this is a major anti-trust case.

you know, the type of money and

muscle that goes into it. Mr.

Dancort does not have the money.

to sit across from the

receptionist at some of these

firms

my partner and i are the only

one who are willing to take

this risk.

we believe in this case.

we believe in it.

give me a chance.

i'll go back to Houston, i'll

get myself clean up.

okay.

but know this,

you'll only get one chance.

don't f*** it up!

understand.

they're talking to f***ing

senators now.

it is when you're around

knocking on doors. chicken with

their heads cut off.

we need to fix this now,

Nathaniel.

i'll take care of it. -we're

losing patients.

just need a bit more time.

i'll try.

but you need to hurry.

or it's not gonna be good for

any of us.

this is a waste of time. -mike.

show some respect, huh?

i'll show some respect by

working the case that put her

in the ground to begin with.

f*** this.

f***.

come on..

the reason you..

the reason why you should

invest in Safety Point because

it safe...

and it's effective. it's a life.

.

saving..

it's a live saving device..

it's a live saving device

you're involvement

you alright, Mike?

yeah, i'm fine.

you want some?

i was always more of a thinker

than a businessman. that's how

i've..

thought about myself anyway.

my first office was in the

corner of a bicycle shop.

my first customer was

an amputee with an artificial

leg.

hi.. good evening.

i'm Paul Danziger.

and i like to welcome you on

behalf of

my partner, Michael Weiss, and

of course the man who really

brought us together tonight

Mr. Jeffrey Dancort.

i've been doing this a long

time now.

long.. long time.

when i've come to realize that

there's people out there that

all they wanna do is f*** you

up.

right? you know what i'm

talking about.

so on this one, i just decided

to say ''f*** it''.

cause you know what?

a good idea is a good idea.

we're talking about people's

lives here.

saving people's lives..

this girl is dead.

because of what we're talking

about here.

so who gives a sh*t about the

bottom line?

i'll tell you who gives a sh*t.

the Goddamn miserable sorry ass

mother f***er who won't let the

hospital use my needles asses.

none of us in here might even

make a dollar.

the point is,

that it's

the point of Safety Point

and i want you all to..

think about helping us out.

it's just a good..

thing to be part of and..

thanks for being here.

done.

thank you very much for coming

and..

how you doing Mike?

i'm sorry.

oh sh*t, Mike.

people don't bring checkbooks

to these things.

can't do this anymore.

Paul,

let's go home.

hey Silvia.

go ahead and tell them i need

an expert cause all the tracks

on.

and i don't want the pill

treatment.

i want the implant under the

abdomal, not the posterior.

not the posterior.

i don't want anything in my ass

that doesn't have to be.

collapse veins, infection of

the heart lining involves

few abscesses

begining of liver disease

minor pulmonary complications,

and what could be the start of

pnenumonia.

typical.

he's going to withdrawl.

i had no idea. i mean..

i knew he's taking some pain

pills for his..

leg.. but i didn't..

he's a pretty heavy user.

it's a good thing i reactivated

the insurance.

by the way, the treatments he

requested is gonna run about 25.

and it's not covered by

insurance.

just a heads up.

great.

damn.

hey.

hey, you got my clothes? -yup.

don't you want me to get

someone to check you out before

we leave? i should bell a nurse.

that's a great idea.. we're

always underestimating nurse

i'll be right with you, Mr.

Weiss.

i have a question for you. you

wouldn't happen to be a member

of the Nursing Association?

i'm standing here in front of

the Houston Community National

Hospital

with the few hundreds nurses

and assorted healthcare workers

in protest.

joining me now, is Karen Brown.

president of the texas Nurse..

every needlestcik accident

caused the hospital thousands

of dollars in follow up testing.

if it's with infected needle,

between five hundred thousands

and one million dollars per

case,

now in this country,

there are roughly one million

needlestick accidents per year.

think about that. you do the

math.

what we're fighting for is the

right of every citizen to live

in a country

that values human lives over
