When Dennis Quaid's newborn twins almost died from a massive blood-thinner overdose last year, it must have been horrific. And you can't put a price on emotional trauma like that - not knowing whether your own children are going to live or di... what's that? You can put a price on emotional trauma like that? And that price is $750,000? Sweet! Dennis Quaid's family has reached a settlement of $750,000 against the hospital where his children almost died. And they were just tiny children - imagine how much we'd get if we almost died in a nightmarish medication mix up! To the hospital! It's label-swapping time!
Hey everyone, super hot news in from eight poxy years ago - Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, like, totally hate each other! You might have already been under the impression that Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan didn't especially get on, what their bitter divorce eight years ago and all, but they don't get on. In fact, so incessant is the bickering between Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan that we're starting to remember why we stopped letting either of them be famous for so long. We'll go into this latest spat of bickering between Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid in a moment, but for those of you in a hurry it can best be summed up by Meg Ryan going "ner ner-ner ner ner ner," in public and then Dennis Quaid being all like "Oh why I oughta..." about it. Hopefully that's cleared it all up for you.
Four months ago a hospital worker accidentally overdosed Dennis Quaid's newborn twins with 1,000 times the recommended dose of blood thinner.
That's an almost unfathomably horrible thing for anyone to have to go through, and yet Dennis Quaid has happily given a televised interview where he recounts the whole awful story from beginning to end. Why would Dennis Quaid subject himself to this? Because he's still furious about the cock-up and claims that medical mistakes are responsible for 100,000 deaths a year in America alone, that's why.
And also we suspect it's because if Dennis Quaid didn't talk about his children almost dying, he'd have had to talk about Vantage Point instead. He must have gone for the least emotionally-gruelling choice.
Dennis Quaid's newborn baby twins are lucky to be alive - it wasn't so long ago that they were being injected with doses of blood-thinner 1,000 times larger than normal.
But although his new son and daughter survived the giant Heparin overdose - and are thought to be recovering well - Dennis Quaid is still thirsty for revenge. That's why Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly Buffington are suing Baxter Healthcare Corp, which manufactures Heparin, for £50,000 in a product liability lawsuit. It shows just how angry Dennis Quaid must be to pursue Baxter through legal paths, because in the past he's resolved any outstanding medical difficulties by shrinking himself down to a sub-atomic level and injecting himself up Martin Short's arse.
As Innerspace-loving children, we were led to believe that there was nothing that Dennis Quaid couldn't solve by drunkenly shrinking himself down to a speck and flying around people's bloodstreams singing Sam Cooke songs.
But, in truth, even when you've fictionally been injected into Martin Short's buttocks you still have to cope with immense tragedies like the rest of us. That's something Dennis Quaid had to come to terms with pretty quickly this week when his newborn twins were accidentally injected with 1,000 times more of the anti-coagulant drug Heparin than usual. However, the good news seems to be that Quaid's twins are recovering well and showing "no adverse reactions." Hopefully this news will put an end to what must have surely been one of the most traumatic times Dennis Quaid's life.
True, the second-most traumatic time was when Dennis Quaid read the The Day After Tomorrow script and realised he'd be paid to out-run some ice, but that shouldn't diminish the relief he should be feeling now.
