All of the 50 victims of the Boston Marathon bombings are now expected to live, as is the wounded transit officer. The three dead died at the scene, so everyone who got to the hospital will survive.
The quick response at the scene and the extraordinary care at the hospitals was really impressive, probably the brightest spot in all of this.
This is the only place on earth that could have happened, not only with so many world-class hospitals within spitting distance of the bombing, but with all the first responders and quick-thinking altruistic citizens already at the scene. Lives were saved in so many ways. I am so proud to be a Bostonian, born bred, and educated here.
Moi aussi. My husband has been so tired of my going on and on for more than three decades about the amazing medical care in Boston, but now he finally gets it.
