Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old Boston bombing suspect captured by police Friday night, is being treated at the same hospital as many of the victims from Monday's marathon bombing, according to NBC News:

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was being held at Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center, where victims were also being treated after two blasts tore through crowds at the finish line of Monday's race.

1. Every hospital in Boston had some victims.

There were almost 200.

2. He is innocent until proven guilty, and he IS an American citizen. Why shouldn't he be treated

at a hospital? I know it might be hard on the victims of the bombing, but until he's proven guilty, he still has rights. Let's try not to forget that.

7. This is as it should be, even if he had already been proven guilty. nt

[DonViejo]

14. Totally agree. ^^^^ nt

[BlueCaliDem]

15. Yes. True. eom

[JackN415]

16. He must be treated so that we can find out more. Who his brother was in contact while in Russia etc.

19. Even NONcitizens have rights in the US. Which is exactly as it should be.

[MineralMan]

3. Not surprising, actually.

I think he was probably heavily guarded, though.

4. It's a trauma center, that's what they do

5. SO?

12. It's news, nothing more...

nothing less. I did not express an opinion about where he should receive his treatment. In point of fact, I don't have a problem with him being treated at the same facility his victims, one of whom is a friend of mine, are being treated at.

[RetroLounge]

22. it's not news, it's "news"

If victims were spread out among every hospital with a trauma center, like they would be, then the chances of him being treated in the same hospital as the victimes is, oh, about 100%.

"news"

24. Ahh, I gotchya...

thanks.

[FarCenter]

6. He's probably in a private room.

[undeterred]

8. He's probably got a couple of officers guarding him.

[mnhtnbb]

21. He's probably restrained--as in handcuffed--to the bed.

[quinnox]

9. He should get the same standard of care

as everyone else.

[FarPoint]

10. That's the grandeur of healthcare ....

True essence of humanity.

11. Excellent hospital

[CalFresh]

13. I love it.

A Jewish hospital. Israel Deaconness Medical Center.

17. yes and no

New England Deaconess Hospital was founded In 1896 by Methodist Deaconesses to care for Boston's residents.[7] The Methodist Deaconess movement, which started in Germany in 1836, was a group of women dedicating themselves to the care of the sick and the poor. The first 14-bed infirmary was opened in a converted five-story brownstone at 691 Massachusetts Avenue. Although the hospital was originally staffed by the Deaconesses, in 1922 it added a permanent medical and surgical staff. In 1927, the New England Deaconess Association opened the Palmer Memorial Hospital, a cancer treatment facility. At the time, few Boston hospitals accepted patients with incurable cancer. During the 1960s, Deaconess' residency programs gained accreditation and it affiliated with Harvard Medical School. Deaconess had a leading role in the early studies of the cause, course and treatment of AIDS. Deaconess was also a pioneer in organ transplantation and immunological research.

During an era of religious separatism, Boston's Jewish community founded Beth Israel Hospital in 1916 to meet the needs of the growing Jewish immigrant population.[7] Its first hospital on Townsend Street in Roxbury held 45-beds. The new hospital addressed the needs of immigrants who spoke Yiddish without speaking English and for patients who kept a kosher diet. In 1928, Beth Israel established relationships with Tufts University and the Harvard Medical School and relocated to a new facility in the Longwood area of Boston. During the Depression, Beth Israel was one of only two hospitals in Boston that treated welfare recipients. Researchers at Beth Israel discovered Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in 1983.

The two neighboring hospitals merged in 1996, continuing the patient care, educational and research components of both predecessors.[2] In 2003, BIDMC researchers identified the source of preeclampsia, a life-threatening complication of pregnancy.

18. Ha ha what I was thinking. .

I would ask him everyday if he knew where he was. You know just to make sure he is mentally there and all that.

20. not "a Jewish" hospital

Beth Israel Deaconess is a merger of two hospitals in 1996. It is the teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. Merger of New England Deaconess Hospital founded in 1896 by Methodist Deaconesses. The Methodist Deaconess movement started in Germany in 1836. Beth Israel Hospital was founded in 1916 to meet the needs of the growing Jewish immigrant population.
