Actor Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly Buffington at the medical facility in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday, July 22, 2008. Dennis and Kimberly's whose twins were given an overdose of a blood thinner as newborns at a California hospital, toured the hospital on Tuesday to learn about a system to prevent such errors. ........
Dennis and Kimberly welcomed twins born via a gestational carrier on November 8, 2007 in Santa Monica, California. Their son Thomas Boone was born first at 8:26 a.m. and weighed 6 pounds, 12 ounces (3.06 kg). Daughter Zoe Grace made her appearance two minutes later weighing in at 5 pounds, 9 ounces (2.52 kg). On November 20, 2007, hospital staff mistakenly gave Quaid's twelve-day-old twins a dosage of heparin 1,000 times the common dosage for infants. Their attorney said the newborns will "be fine now", but Quaid has filed a lawsuit against the drug manufacturer, Baxter Healthcare, claiming that packaging for the two doses of heparin are not different enough.In May 2008, the Quaids testified before the United States House of Representatives' Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, asking Congress not to preempt the right to sue drug manufacturers for negligence under state law. source
