LOS ANGELES - Actor Dennis Quaid's newborn twins were among three patients accidentally given 1,000 times the common dosage of a blood thinner.

Langberg said three patients on Sunday each received vials containing 10,000 units per milliliter of heparin, a blood thinner, instead of vials with a concentration of 10 units per milliliter. The patients were receiving intravenous medications and the heparin was used to flush the catheters to prevent clotting.
