The actor paints a harrowing scene of the doctors' initial efforts to save his newborns' lives.
Graphic details are emerging from DENNIS QUAID's upcoming "60 Minutes" interview, in which the actor discusses nearly losing his newborn twins to an alleged accidental overdose at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last November.
The Associated Press reports that in the segment, which is set to air Sunday night at 7 p.m. on CBS, Quaid recalls the frantic scene of doctors and nurses working to save his infants' lives after they were allegedly administered an excessive amount 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," Dennis says in the interview, according to the AP.
He goes on to add that the twins' blood turned to "the consistency of water, where they had a complete inability to clot. And they were basically bleeding out at that point."
We first brought you details from the interview on Thursday, with the 53-year-old actor speaking out about similar medical mistakes, as well as his and wife KIMBERLY's lawsuit against the blood thinner's manufacturer.
