DENNIS QUAID TALKS ABOUT NEW TWINS

Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly are launching a attack at a Los Angeles hospital for misleading them about their newborn twins, who nearly died from a drug overdose. Quaid's twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace were left fighting for their lives when they were mistakenly given 1,000 times the normal 10-unit dose of blood-thinning drug Heparin by staff at L.A.'s Cedar's Sinai Medical Center shortly after they were born to a surrogate mother last November.The twins have since been discharged after doctors gave them a clean bill of health and they are back home with their loving parents.Speaking about it for the first time, the Hollywood actor reveals he and his wife didn't know until the next morning that their children had been treated for a drug overdose.He tells the Los Angeles Times, "Our kids could have been dying and we wouldn't have been able to come down to the hospital to say goodbye."When you go into a hospital, you become like a child, like an infant in a way. The names of the drugs, we can't even pronounce.We put complete trust, and we are so vulnerable like a child, innocent and vulnerable in a hospital situation."

Inexcusable! Doctors and nurses are committing too many errors. Who pays for these errors? We do... the babies will pay and so will the parents. Trust in medical professionals is doubted...
