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....

I don't think I ever called a patient “hon”. Their names were on the wall over their bed. If I did, it was was rare. You do the treatment necessary and leave, or you change bed linen as needed. Unless the patient wanted to talk to you, you discuss as a professional...at times its hard, but that's life in the hospital...There were patients even the doctors didn't want to take care of, but they did as was needed. It was in a city general hospital, we got everything imaginable that came in via ER. You just keep personal feeling to yourself....

Better yet, use Visine...it will give him what my dad called “Rocky Mountain Two-Step” in varying degrees as the dosages are increased or decreased.

Nothing fatal...just a reminder that $h!| happens.

He has no respect for women (Islam is a society of woman haters) and for a woman to be disarmed by him is as much her fault as it is his. The women around him need to be educated in how Islam treats its women.

I could give classes...my late husband spent some time in Saudi Arabia...

Hey, “hon”, could you please use anesthesia before you perform amputations?

Great pic, thank you, and I’d love to see him swing like Saddam.

These nurses are professionals, and so am I. My specialty probably wouldn't call on me to treat Tsarnaev, but if it did, I would do it, and do it well.

That's what medical pros are all about.

America haters, these nurses included, would glorify this cold blooded murderer

Brother, you don't know anything about nurses in general or these nurses in particular.

Being that they work at the BI, odds are the are MNA unionists and Obama supporters.

But if Tsarnaev was in a hospital in Wyoming or Alabama, he'd get exactly what he's getting from the Boston nurses from their nurses.

And, if you were hospitalized at the BI, so would you, or I.

Everybody's acting nuts on this thread. The nurses are fighting their natural inclination to address him as they do other teenagers.

They specifically don't want to do it, because he's a freaking terrorist. They have the right idea. But they're fighting their routine, ingrained over years of treating normal patients.

They're on the right side, and most of you are angry with them for no reason.

Sorry.....I respectfully disagree with you. I see that little innocent eight year old boy alive one minute, and then blown to pieces in the next!!! I see the blown off limbs of innocent men women and children caused by this low life terrorist. Yes, treat him, attend to him, nurse him back to health....so we can execute this inhuman pig!!! If you want to love him....be my guest. God may forgive him, along with you, but...I certainly won’t!!!

If ‘hon’ escapes maybe he can kill their children... or blow up the hospital... so many ways for him to pay them back for their kindness.

I have neither love nor forgiveness for him.

I have my profession, and I am faithful to it. That's all.

At least they expressed some regret over it. Anyone who declares themselves a "fan" is beyond help.

The more I'm exposed to large segments of the population in the workaday world, the more I'm convinced many people under 40 were reared by the television set and they don't know what values are.

You’re much too kind; I’m trying to save the US Taxpayers $90k/yr for keeping that subhuman, murderous, POS alive. I’d take the shot, if I could get it.

I like to watch the people who cause suffering experience some of the same. If you take them off the planet, how will they get the message (albeint late) that what they are doing is wrong on all counts?

They need to suffer. Bring them to the Nevada desert, stake them out with wet rawhide, give them water laced with Visine, and pour honey in strategic places. Sit and watch, from the shade of whatever canopy, with a good supply of chilled water, and wait for the desert sun to do the rest.

Kindness? I don’t THINK so! One could also inflict a few minor wounds...let the desert creatures take their share. Nothing is too evil for these people because what they understand is evil, suffering, and revenge for the freedom they don’t have.

Who says US Taxpayers have to pay for it? I’m sure there would be plenty of volunteers, if from nowhere else than the Veterans of the Gulf and Iraq Wars. And don’t forget the Minutemen...

Too kind? I doubt it. Realistic? Yes.

I have nurses in every branch of my family tree. I know how they’re SUPPOSED to act but if their patient looks cute and is a celebrity (even if he blew up several people) they are quick to forget. There’s a lot of nurses out there married to drunks, prisoners, and other forms of social misfits because they think they can fix them. I realize this guy may have been acting under the influence of his brother at the time but you have to ask yourself, did this guy sit in the kitchen and hlp build the bombs with his brother and then knowingly place them along that street knowing it would blow people’s legs off and kill many others? Of ourselves he did! What type of person does that?! Someone with a serious mental problem or disconnection with empathy and sympathy for his fellow man.

Look, friend.....I respect your profession and the dedication to do your job as either a doctor or a nurse, etc. However......it is one thing to perform your job & profession....and completely another to fawn and dote over a mass murderer of innocents and public servants (police)!!!

Just put photos of his victims in the hallway, right outside his door.

Excellent idea.

But, really, I think the headline is misleading. These women are compassionate of all people in pain, and that is what they are trying to say. I did not get the impression that they dismiss what he did, and I read the entire piece.

I am a woman, and I would give up my right to vote if it meant the obamunists would have to give up theirs.
