Sharee Davis was 17 weeks pregnant when she was admitted to St. Mary's Medical Center in Florida this month for a routine procedure to prevent premature labor. Instead, the hospital gave Davis the wrong medication, which induced labor and caused her to give birth to stillborn twins. "To have your babies -- let alone my first, then two -- taken at the hands of somebody else," Davis told WPFB before breaking down and falling into boyfriend James Andrews' lap. Hours later, another woman at the same hospital also received the wrong medication, causing her baby to be born with brain damage. The 23-week-old baby is in critical condition at the neonatal intensive care unit.
