Los Angeles hospital put patients at risk, regulators say

The Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles put pediatric patients in danger of harm, including actor Dennis Quaid's newborn twins, by giving them overdoses of the blood thinner heparin, California regulators have ruled. In a 20-page report, the regulators said the "violations caused, or were likely to cause, serious injury or death to the patients who received the wrong medication" and faulted the hospital for its "deficient practices" around administrating the drug.
