I had heard that the movie star Dennis Quaid remarried and they had twins but something happened to them. On 8/24/2008, the movie star with his wife at his side, told the agony that there twin boys were given a 1000 times dose of blood thinner which put them in extreme peril. In this piece on 60 minutes, they went on to find that overdosing has occurred in similar cases in other hospitals but little was done. Two similar bottles of the blood thinner were similar in size. Each also had blue titling strips around them one darker blue then the other but still easy to mistake.
Quaid and his wife were trying to lead a campaign to have better labeling on bottles so more careless mistakes would not kill, injure or cause harm to patients. While they were showing what they were doing to help promote this campaign, the TV showed Quaid looking at his Mac laptop (not sure what kind ?).
The drug industry did not seem to think much of it and while the hospitals were listening to concerns it does not seem that they will be doing much either.
Be careful out there
