I just heard Dennis Quaid say, on the preview to 60 Minutes, that his babies' blood got the consistency of water" so that it wouldn't clot. It's on now.

It was a good show actually. His misinformation regarding "blood thinners" isn't his fault I guess. I commend the Quaids for wanting to combat problem of medicine dosage errors (not sure I'm saying that correctly).
SEPARATE ISSUE: 60 Minutes did also did a story on sleep deprivation. In their small study, it showed that warning signs of future Type 2 Diabetes showed up in otherwise healthy, fit individuals with a few days of serious sleep deprivation.

They didn't need Heparin, but another drug entirely. The Heparin dosage each of them received was that of adults, not babies. Their dosages, I believe, were thousands of times stronger than normal for their size. They were fortunate little things to survive. The story also said that same thing happened in an Indianapolis hospital; six babies were given Heparin by mistake. Three of those babies died.
