Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Si parla delle grandi multinazionali farmaceutiche e di come i loro interessi siano spesso protetti da chi dovrebbe controllarle:
"Current thinking sees no essential difference between the interests fo the public and the interests of industry. Indeed, in the summer of 2004, the FDA’s chief counsel came under fire for inviting drug companies to inform him of lawsuits against them so the FDA could help in their defence. “We can’t afford to get involved in every case – we have to pick our shots”, he said, advising them therefore to “make it sound like a Hollywood pitch”.
Non colgo il riferimento a Hollywood, qualche idea? Grazie mille e buona settimana! S.

convincerli/persuaderli
Dal dizionario American Heritage:
http://www.bartleby.com/61/35/P0333500.html
11. Informal a. A line of talk designed to persuade: “[his] pious pitch for . . . austerity” (Boston Globe). b. An advertisement.
Un Hollywood pitch è un incontro tra sceneggiatori e produttori, durante il quale i primi tentano di convincere i secondi a produrre un film/serie/ecc.
"Unlike the relatively solitary act of writing a screenplay, a Hollywood pitch calls on a unique skill set, ranging from storytelling tricks of the trade to door-to-door salesmanship. Being able to sell your idea "in the room," and not just on the page, greatly increases your odds of placing original material in the studio pipeline, not to mention creating a more visible and lasting presence for yourself and your work in the hyper-competitive world of Hollywood screenwriting. "
Il De Mauro Paravia traduce "pitch" così:
4. (sales talk) parlantina f.
Il Garzanti:
10 (fam.) loquacità, parlantina: the salesman's - is often misleading, la parlantina del venditore è spesso fuorviante; to make a - for sthg., parlare energicamente a favore di qlco.
Nella tua frase, il consulente legale della Food & Drug Administration invita le case farmaceutiche a informarlo delle querele ricevute per poterle assistere nella difesa, ma siccome la FDA non può essere coinvolta in tutti i casi, deve operare delle scelte e, a tale scopo, invita le compagnie a "vendersi", ovvero a preparare una presentazione convincente, di effetto, che faccia leva sui selezionatori.
Basta trovare un modo elegante per dirlo, lasciando cadere il riferimento a Hollywood, imho. HIH!

Hollywood pitch (I would live it as it is)
Looks like a ref. to assays made by actors when they try to get a part in a movie (sembra un riferimento ai provini che fanno gli attori per avere un ruolo). A pitch is a speech of 2-5 min to sell your company or whatever you have to sell. So pharmas have to present very briefly their case in order to be selected by the FDA since the selection is limited. My guess...
Something went wrong...
