Boston Bombing Suspect’s Nurses Focused on Job At Hand
- 11 years ago
Boston bombing suspect's nurses reportedly focused on the job at hand.
Several of the nurses assigned to the recovery of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev recently spoke about their conflicting feelings while administering his care.
Each of them said that the foundation of their profession is to care for all, regardless of the victim, and so that’s what they did. That doesn’t mean they weren’t aware of how his presence was affecting them and others in the hospital.
While they all said they were proud of the job they did, none of them provided their full names. Some said it was out of fear for what the public reaction may be, and others revealed that they felt guilty for doing a good job.
Drawing non-typical emotional lines between themselves and the patient was the preferred coping mechanism for a few.
One woman said that she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him because of his injuries, but wouldn’t feel dismayed in the least if he ends up getting the death penalty.
Of Tsarnaev’s release, the hospital’s CEO said, “…we can move forward and continue with the healing process here for the victims, the families and our community here.”
