Which Screwup is Worse: Quaid or Britney?

Two big hospital screw ups are front and center this weekend -- UCLA firing 13 workers who violated part confidentiality agreement by ratting out Brit, and Dennis Quaid opening up about a medical mess up at Cedars that almost killed his kids.

Is a careless nurse and an alleged cover-up worse than spilling secrets about a famous patient? You decide!

I cant believe you would think that people reading Brits profile is worse than giving newborns the wrong medicine.

What a stupid question.
2 newborns were bleeding out of their belly buttons and IV line pin pricks uncontrollably

and Britney's thing is only a privacy issue.

although both things are pretty bad. obviously the babies were almost killed. I think that was the fault of the drug manufacterer also because the labels were almost identical. imagine being in the hospital for something really personal and the staff which vows to keep patient records confidential blabbed your business everywhere.

Glad the babies are so far Ok. Britneys crotch shots aren't. They never will be ok with me.

Why do you ask in that way?
Everyone who are able to think logic, knows that it a totally wronged asked quetion

It´s like asking: "Do you prefer pest or cholera?"

Americas health care system is a disgrace.

Both issues reflect the need for all around improvement.

Without a doubt Quaid's babies, I'm sure Brit didn't mind the privacy invasion which she is constantly seeking, she's laughing all the way to the bank, of course wearing no under garments.

Definitely the Britney issue. I understand that Quaid's kids almost died, but that is accidental. Either the drug manufactorer, or the administering provider are to the blame.
Where as in Britney's issue, its a matter of legal privacy issues. We think of that as insignificant because of her recent behavior, but how would we feel if we were placed in that situation. Gotta put yourself in their shoe's sometimes.

Ryan in Phx - Sure... I'll put myself in their shoes and will tell you that I would much rather have my privacy invaded than to have my children almost die. I'm thinking you have your shoes on the wrong feet!

What a ridiculous question. Let's see, a few hospital employees got to see some of a patient's personal information compared to a screw up by docotr's that almost killed 2 babies? you've got to be kidding me that this question is even being asked
