Did their celebrity play a part in the ensuing medical error?
There is no evidence that Dennis Quaid’s kids were harmed because they hail from a VIP bloodline, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a causative factor. Everybody just tries a bit too hard, and in doing so, they throw off their natural rhythm. In any case, when we get a VIP admission at UCSF and the residents ask me how they should approach the case, I always say the same thing: let’s work our tails off to be sure that nobody hurts them.
