Dennis Quaid

Here is a link to a story K and I saw on 60 minutes last night.

Jack was given the pedriatric version of Heprin multiple times a day when he was in the hospital. I just happened to ask the nurse all about what she was giving him and (if I remember right) she said that it helped keep his IV lines from cloting.

In Corpus Christi LAST MONTH, this mistake was made in 14 infants; 2 of them died. (see end of CBS story on page 4)

Here is a link to the Quaid foundation which was set up to promote awareness of preventable human medical errors. http://thequaidfoundation.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
