prescription of the

believed to be the
cause of the pop star’s
over dosage and death.

propofol should be inside the hospital and
must be closely observed by a specially
trained doctor or nurse while also being
monitored with a range of top-of-the-line
heart and lung machines.

10. Dennis Quaids’ Twins
Dennis Quaid is a famous Hollywood
comedian, but another thing that he was
known for is being the almost mournful
father when his twin babies almost got
killed. The hospital staff mistakenly gave
the ten-day old twins a dosage of a blood-

thinning medication heparine which is a
thousand times the dosage used for infants.
11. The hospital paid almost $75,000 for the
case. Quaid is now advocating anti-medical
malpractice and has produced a documentary
entitled 60 Hours showing the ordeal that he,
his wife and their twins went through.
