Dennis Quaid, Wife Lash Out at Hospital

Movie star, Dennis Quaid and his wife denounced the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles over "A lack of candor" about medical errors they believe caused their newborn twins to receive overdoses of a blood thinner. The couple was particularly upset to learn from a state investigation that their babies were given dosages of heparin that were 2,000 times stronger than what was prescribed. The twins, born Nov. 8 to a surrogate mother, were at the hospital because of an infection. The state report described three other cases of unidentified patients. They all recovered, but two needed a drug that reverses the effects of heparin. Quaid's said they found it outrageous and totally unacceptable that they were learning now for the first time exactly what happened.

Twin Brothers Gift To Aid Twins Festival

Twin brothers, once recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's most identical twins have left most of their estate to the festival in Twinsburg, about 15 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio. The land is expected to bring $4 to $5 million dollars to go to the "Twin Days" festival. They were two frugal farmers who always dressed alike, talked alike and enjoyed dating other twins. They won many identical twins contests over the years.
