Dennis Quaid and wife lash out at hospital

Los Angeles – Dennis Quaid and his wife denounced the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center over a “lack of candor” about medical errors they believe caused their newborn twins to receive overdoses of a blood thinner.

The couple said they were particularly upset to learn from a state investigation that their babies were given dosages of heparin that were 2,000 times stronger than what was prescribed.

The report’s findings released Wednesday by the California Department of Public Health conflict with the hospital’s initial report that the children each received one vial containing 10,000 units per milliliter of heparin instead of the common dosage of 10 units per milliliter. The report found that the children actually received two of the vials.

“We find it outrageous and totally unacceptable that we are learning for the first time … exactly what transpired,” the actor and his wife, Kimberly, said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.

“We were told by upper Cedars-Sinai administration that our children had received only one 10,000 unit dose of heparin when in fact they had received two 10,000 unit doses over an 8-hour period that we now know of. The hospital’s lack of candor has left us with the uneasy feeling that we may never know the whole story,” the statement said.
