Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s nurses admit it’s hard not to call him ‘hon’
The Washington Times ^ | May 20, 2013 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Nurses treating Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev say their natural inclination toward compassion makes it difficult to see the 19-year-old as a possible terrorist. And they have to make concerted effort — and buddy-system pacts — to keep from referring to him with terms of endearment such as “hon.”

One 29-year-old nurse said on Gawker: “When you’re in the room, it’s just a patient. You’re here to … make sure they’re feeling better. When you step away, you take it in. I am compassionate, that’s what we do. But should I be? The rest of the world hates him right now.”

Others said they felt guilty just for treating him in the same manner they treat all their patients, Gawker reported. And at least one other said she accidentally referred to Mr. Tsarnaev to “hon” and subsequently forged an agreement with a colleague to tap each other on the shoulder if either spoke such terms of endearment again to the suspect....

No, it was when he was at Beth Israel. They locked down an entire floor just for him. How many people died or were in pain longer because there wasn't a bed available for them. Even having to make arrangements to go to another hospital and switching doctors may have delayed surgeries and care.

Most major Red England employers would fire you on the spot if you were to refer to a fellow employee as 'hon'...

Thank G-d the folks down South aren't wound so damn tight.

And what ever happened to innocent till proven guilty? That IS something most of us despise in this country, isn’t it?????

Even a jury has to wait till ALL the evidence is presented before rendering a judgment, and that hasn’t happened yet.

Here we stand supposedly defending freedom, and the vision of the founding fathers while in practice we act like socialists????

Whats up with that?

Did you miss his confession to both the police and with his scrawlings on the inside of the boat he was hiding in?

I think that's the sociopath.

Psychopaths are the ones who live in cardboard boxes under bridges, and when they stick a knife in your back there's nothing metaphorical about it.

I could be wrong, though.

Is there something wrong with the women of this country? First they set up fan clubs for him and now this.

I'm a woman and I'm beginning to wonder the same. These women are a huge embarrassment to my gender.

And these same women cannot wait to vote for Hillary for President in 2016. We're screwed...

Pinging some FRiends here...

When I worked at the hospital, I took care of all manners of people, alcholics going through DT’s, on the psych unit murders, at one time when I was pulled to psych there was 2 that attempted murder and 1 that succeeded. 300 dollar a day junkies, as a nurse, your a professional and as such, pass no judgement on your patient You have an opinion but if it interfers with your nursing care, get out of nursing....

Post a sign just outside his door that says: Remember the Boston Marathon!

*sheesh* It would take all the courage I had to “be nice” to someone so terminally lethal. Kid gloves isn’t all I would handle him with.
