Overdose
I was just reading an article on AOL about Dennis Quaid’s new twins. They were admitted to the Neonatal ICU because a nurse at Cedar Sinai accidentally gave them 10,000 units of Heparin (an anti-coagulant) instead of the normal 10 units because the medicine was in the wrong place. The babies are stable right now, but man, how do you not look at the medicine you are giving someone. According to the article, there are 13 other patients who have also been overdosed with the Heparin. Lets just hope that everyone is okay.
