NEW YORK (AP) - Dennis Quaid describes a harrowing scene with "blood everywhere" as doctors and nurses worked to save his newborn twins after they were given an overdose of a blood thinner.
"They were working on (my son) Boone whose belly button would not stop bleeding, and while they were trying to ... clamp it, blood squirted across the room about six feet and landed on the wall. It was blood everywhere," the actor recalls to CBS' "60 Minutes."
The twin boy and girl born to Quaid and wife Kimberly by a surrogate mother were mistakenly given an overdose of heparin, a blood thinner, administered at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles last November.
