Marathon medical tent became Triage center
Within minutes first responders were bringing wounded, from what seemed like a war scene, into the medical tent. People of all ages with shrapnel wounds and traumatic amputations began flooding the medical tent which fast became a triage center for the 200 to 300 medical volunteers at the finish line.
“Because these explosives were full of metal and glass, people were just shredded,” said Davis, who mentioned that one of the causalities from Monday's explosions, a woman in her 20s, died in the medical tent, one of her legs completely shredded from the explosion.
“Obviously we weren't set up for something like that, it happened so fast.” The medical personnel saw approximately 50 people over the next hour and half, triaging the injured as quickly as possible.
“The good thing to tell you the truth is we had so many [medical] people there, we would triage them right away and push them out as fast as we could.”

Thank you to the nurses and doctors that were there. They reacted. They set up a Triage and a makeshift morgue. Their powerful and quick response saved lives. I bless their spirit and their dedication to saving lives. I have heard from people there that rumors were, that the Prudential Tower had bombs planted. The tower rose over their heads, they stayed, despite the threat.
Thank you Boston.

I heard that one doctor did four amputations in one day. They were the most critical. The others that are for the moment non life threatening, they are trying to wait, so the patient has a say to amputate the limb. Fourteen limbs destroyed that day. Dear God.
I think it's important to know what they went through and how unbelievably strong and courageous they were for our Boston Marathon bombing victims.
Just reading those words, "fourteen limbs destroyed that day", and knowing of the deaths of Martin, Krystal, Lu, and Sean, should be sufficient knowledge to know why the Gov asked people to stay inside their homes..and for the Police to do thorough searches of their houses.
They wanted this to end. 
thanks She, for the valuable knowledge.

There is always a team there to treat dehydration, trauma, heart attacks et al! Always, yet they did not expect this. My sister, knew six that were there, she worked with them. One of the nurses had been doing this for 25 years. They did what they do best. They reacted and they saved lives.
to the best medical team ever!
