The “pen” pictured below was placed into a plastic trash bag yesterday without the needle being capped. I am a diabetic and have used this type of device before; each pen needle comes with a cap. It does not require a lot of effort to cap the needle after use. This used needle is a bio-hazard and must be disposed of properly. This is definitely not “properly”.
We have already had one of our guys stuck by an uncapped needle and he had to undergo a bunch of anti-viral medications to prevent infection. These medications made him ill for weeks. This is a prime example of negligent behavior and violates Health and Safety as detailed in Texas Property Code 209.
I am incredulous that someone would believe it to be OK to toss this into a plastic trash bag. The offending party will be issued a fine.
So sorry you have to put up with things like that
Could this have possibly come from the house on the east side that SWAT raided last week? Kind of nice to see GP SWAT clearing out the druggies!
Actually, no it isn’t. This came from the West side, near the office. The individuals from the drug raid last Thursday will not be walking around for quite a while, so I am told.
Well, it is too bad it was not them. Regardless, it is good to know the individuals on the East side will not be conducting ‘business as usual’. Any news on the arrest on E Mountain Ln a couple of days ago? Just curious.
