Dennis Quaids’ Twins

Dennis Quaid is a famous Hollywood comedian, but another thing that he was known for is being the almost mournful father when his twin babies almost got killed. The hospital staff mistakenly gave the ten-day old twins a dosage of a blood-thinning medication heparine which is a thousand times the dosage used for infants.

The hospital paid almost $75,000 for the case. Quaid is now advocating anti-medical malpractice and has produced a documentary entitled 60 Hours showing the ordeal that he, his wife and their twins went through.
