we will come back to you later on in the newscast, dr. ron daly. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >>> it is one of the hardest thing to get in the mind now that they have done this of the question now is what will police do to make sure justice is served. they said justice is served now. >> tonight our nation is in debt to the people of boston and the people of massachusetts. after a vicious attack on their city. bostonians responded with resolve and determination. they did their part as citizens and partners in this investigation. boston police and state police and local police across the commonwealth of massachusetts responded with professionalism and bravery over five long days. tonight because of their determined efforts we have closed an important chapter in this tragedy. >> after a five-day manhunt the search is over for two suspects accused of setting off explosives, the finish line of monday's boston marathon. one suspect killed by police in a firefight last night. the other injured in that same shootout. he is in the hosp

dr. ron wall is chief of emergency services. he was with us earlier for nbc "nightly news." can you describe the range of types of injuries among the patients that were sorted out and brought to your facility. >> the injuries we saw today were typical blast time injuries that were just described. they were lower extremity issues. a lot of damage to the soft tissue, muscle and a lot of bony injury. we had a head injury and injuries to the face and neck. most were leg injuries. >> your colleague over at mass general mentioned that he had a fellow physician who had done tours overseas. we've been at war for over a decade. i imagine some of your staff are also combat veterans themselves. did anyone mention that this kind of traumatic injury, you had amputations and shrapnel is the kind of thing we've seen in war zones. >> nobody specifically mentioned it here but i think it's important to know that this is what we do. this is what we train to do. this is what we do every day. we don't do it on th

let's talk to dr. ron the ceo of acorda therapeutics and find out what the new data means. dr. cohen, welcome back to "mad money." have a seat. okay. right into it, because people are used to phase two and then phase three and then approval. this stock jumped because of you, and i will quote you in the conference call, this morning the top bottom results from two proof of concept studies, and what is proof of concept versus phase two or three approval? >> well, it is a phase study, and some people would call it a phase 2a study. what we are doing there is that we had data in animals with stroke models. >> like the last time here, you had lab rats. >> and we thought it was very encouraging, but nobody has translated it to see if it would work in humans, so we designed a small study to see if there was a signal that it would work in humans before investing in the millions of dollars that we need to in a large study. >> right. one of the things that i don't want to be overly optimistic here, but it seems like

for dr. ronnt of emergency medicine here at brigham and women's university in boston the lessons that prepared him for the boston bombing were much more recent. >> communication and coordination is everything. ideally we work where we have one patient comes in as a trauma patient we have a really high -- highly trained team around them that works beautifully together and they take amazing care of that one patient. what happens when you multiply that by 20? one of the real calls for us was the aurora shootings and that was the second sort of deliberate event that set the stage for these good outcomes. what happened in aurora was that they got -- these people were transported by police vehicles, private cars and they got all the patients in one hour. that is a very unusual circumstance and made us wonder could we do that if we got that kind of influx? could we handle it? so we started looking more specifically at how do we handle an unexpectedly large number of critical patients in a very short per

with me is the vice president of student affairs, dr. ron. welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> you're a popular guy. you come with good news. where were you when i went to college. >> i wish i was around for myself. >> this is a great endeavor by the foundation. tell us what you're doing brf it's really exciting. it's one of the first times we've done a reach out like this to high school graduates versus current students. this is designed to say you're graduating from high school. we want you to come with a promise you can stay with us for two years, full ride, tuition, fees and books. it's really to say if there's any desire that you have to come to college, we want to make it happen. that came from really the hearts and minds of the folks donating to the foundation. >> that's what i wanted to get to. this the result of people kind of putting their money where their mouth is and saying i want to make a difference here. >> that's right. it really came from parents and faculty and community members seeing how difficult it was getting for stu

among those in the emergency department were trauma surgeon joaquin havens, dr. ron walls, the chairman of emergency medicine and trauma surgeon dr. zara cooper. >> there were two things going through my head. one was actual fear. myself just because i hadn't been in such a situation like this before and i really did feel like it was a war zone in some ways. and then another feeling was reassurance because i think that everybody really pulled together in a very remarkable way. >> pelley: the patients that you treated, what did you see? >> significant amount of burns second- and third-degree burns as well as penetrating trauma from shrapnel to the face, to the neck and to the upper extremities. there were traumatic amputations from the blast. very, very sick patients that needed help. >> there were three patients in total, i think, who had obviously planted the shrapnel that was part of the device. so small two- to three- millimetre ball bearing type or large bb-type pellet objects and small carpenter nails about half a centimeter long. >> pelley: nails and ball beari

and win over this global struggle and i wanted to actually mention a podcast that you just had with dr ron paul congressman ron paul which really does showcase how there's a lot that libertarians and leftists can agree on we can unite on a lot of things against the establishment instead of having such a fragmented opposition how can we focus more on this unification. what are going to be a number of different coalitions and coming together that will surprise people that brother ron paul and brother rand paul i come together with in terms of their defense of rights and liberties. the drones have been the focus of the thirteen hour filibuster about brother rand paul thought it was wonderful i wish that he had talked about non americans as well as americans but at least the issue of receive a certain publicized invisibility when it comes to ron paul and we have come together with him and his powerful rejection of the patriotic act his powerful rejects in the nasa defense authorization act where the president has the right to detain american citizens without due process without a trial without

dr. ront of emergency medicine at brigham and women's hospital, one of those great hospitals, dr. walsh, good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. >> i'm just curious, because there were so many people in town yesterday, 500,000 people here for the marathon, did you have extra personnel on standby because of the event? >> we always prepare differently for the marathon than for an ordinary day so we have additional medical staff in the emergency department and we also cooperate with boston ems and the other city hospitals to have a medical team near the finish line. >> i'm sure you were expecting a lot of running related injuries and instead at ten minutes of 3:00 these two explosions. try to take me back and describe the scene in the emergency room as these patients started coming in. >> you have to understand that the emergency department at that point is really anticipating what we would call a normal busy day, so we were geared up. we were ready for these types of running-related issues,

this is dr. ron walls. so much has been said about the types of injuries that we've been seeing, you've been experiencing here at the hospital. can you give us the latest in terms of what you have? you have 28 patients that's up to 31 >> that's right. we have 31 patients. two would be considered very critical. we've had a total of nine that have gone to the operating room. so i've had surgery in all of those cases, major surgery, then we have the remainder that takes you to the rest of the 31. >> can you describe the extend of the injuries? we've been hearing bone injuries, tissue injuries. >> the worst of the injuries have been injuries to the legs. there's been a lot of damage, a lot of blast effects from these type of explosions, so a lot of injury to the muscle, the skin, the bones are broken, those sorts of injuries. the shrapnel has been a minor issue. there are little bits in some of the patients. just ambient things thrown around in the blast. >> that's good information there. also, two of your pati

we spoke to dr. ron walls. he talked about the extent of the injuries they're dealing with.se who came outside and said it's been a very emotionally trying day for them. another said at one point the ambulances in the very beginning were coming in droves, erin. six at a time he said. dr. walls describing the injuries. mostly to the lower extremities. he also talked about the s shrapnel type injuries. he was trying to clear things up there. once again, even all the training he said most of these doctors and nurses had gone through, nothing experienced them for what they had to deal with tonight. talk more about the patients who are here, nine patients immediately put into surgery, two in critical. those two patients are very close to losing their limbs. two again in critical condition. the youngest patient that was here for a short time, a 3-year-old. that patient was transferred to another hospital. what was apparent here is the amount of shock and how some people are stunned. the people here are in work mode. they're used to this in some ways. even as they're coming out, yo

one of the heads dr. ronalls, one of the heads of emergency medicine here, he talked about the young patients. listen. >> our youngest patient was 16 years old. but, we had one child of 3 who was brought in initially, and we immediately re-triaged that patient to children's hospital, which as you know is right beside us. >> the consistent thing that we're hearing across the board from surgeons at different hospitals is that they have never done, seen anything like the volume, the quantity, the rush that they saw in their emergency rooms. but they did say, across the board, that they were prepared. they had prepared for a tragic situation like this. >> you know, you said victims as young as 2 and 3 years old, which is awful. but it's not surprising for an event like this. the boston marathon, patriot's day, really boston's day where families line the entire 26-mile route from hop kinton, so no surprise that kids were right there when those bombs went off. and we now know that it was an 8-year-old boy, an 8-yea

ron johnson, ceo of jc penney, is that ruptured appendix right now. dr. bill akman in my opinion is going to go in and remove him. bill akman has been very clear about his support for ron johnson until last friday when he said that johnson's tenure has been, quote, very close to a disaster. he used the word "disaster." if my boss used the word disaster i'd be looking for a new job pretty quickly, updating my resume. >> ron johnson as ruptured appendix. i've not heard that one yet. carter? which way would you go here? >> looks like a ruptured appendix, that's for shoe. i think that's quite right. look at the comparative chart for fun. i've got a ten-year chart which juxtaposes macy's and jc penney. beautiful moves off the '02, '03 low. they top in '07. that's where things go terribly wrong for jc penney. jc penney is back at its '09 lows. that's emergency room type stuff. the market is at its '07 highs. macy's returned to '07 highs. mark makes that good point. it is a good chart. here's the thing about let's just say it is someone in the emergency room. why

dr. carson was saying when i spoke at the congressional black caucus with my good friend ron christie about voter ids. why blacks can't get ids and whites can. kids came up to me and said crystal, you gave me a license to come out of closet. >> sean: can i add one point? there is a missing link in terms of history. when i bring this up, liberals don't like to hear it, 64 civil rights acts. 6 a voting rights acts. where was al gore's father? voting against it al gore senior voted against it. >> our movie deals with all of those points there would not have been a civil rights act of 1965 if it had not been for dirksen a democrat from illinois. so many times the history of the republican party and one thing republicans are afraid of doing is standing up and facing this thing. >> sean: you want to know one reason why in the r word. people do not want to be called -- because who would want to be a racist? it's evil. >> they are going to call you that anyway. >> we have got to take a break. i feel like a teacher in school. you are raising your hand. all right. we will come back. we have great stu

dr. jill biden scheduled to attend. christine ronllegations that the syrian government has used chemical weapons, likely saran nerve gas on rebels. what is the latest? >> reporter: look, there was a statement made this morning by israeli brigadier general, commander of the research division of the intelligence director ate. according to his professional assessment and assessment of those inside of that directorate, the regime did use chemical deadly weapons against armed rebels on a number of occasions in the past few months, and then he districtly ta directly talked about a march 19th attack where they showed signs of deadly chemical weapons and the likely used was sarin gas, including neutralizing and nonlethal chemical weapons. he does not indicate if israel has brand new intelligence or basing the assessment of video and information that has come out of that area from the past from other sources. he made comments this morning, speaking in hleb rue, at a comment by ins, israel institute for national studies, thinktank linked to te

dr. rich, thank you. >>> a lot of other news overnight. as always, we go to mr. ron claiborne. good morning, sir. >> hi, dan and bianna. we're going to start with good news for your wallet and all those americans out there who drive cars. gas prices are falling again. prices at the pump dropped 7 cents a gallon in the past week, falling to a national average of $3.53 a gallon. the prices may keep dropping because oil prices keep falling. oil prices are expected to rise slightly for the busy summer driving season. >>> and authorities in texas have expanded their investigation into a man they consider a person of interest in the murder of those two prosecutors near dallas, texas. state and federal agents searched a storage facility saturday night linked to former justice of the peace, eric williams. williams was arrested on saturday morning, and charged with making a terroristic threat. his home was searched friday. but he's not been named as a suspect in those murders. >>> and heavy snow is hampering the search for a missing snowshoer, swept up by a avalanche outside of seattle,

ron? >> no, absolutely not. you listen to the mark levine show when he interviewed dr.iticism of keeping blacks in a box and keeping them in the plantation. every day, i get a note you are an uncle tom, you're a sellout. i was called that from an aide of maxine waters' office, if you are black, conservative and dare not to be democratic, a liberal, are you accused of being a sellout, an uncle tom. i like robert zimmerman a lot, he's my friend and a white elitist. the underlying sentiment where we have re-elected the first african-american president, we have so many areas of progress in this country and areas of race and it seems to me the liberal establishment can't stomach having african-american conservatives. >> i've heard that from more than one person, robert. liberals are among the most racist, it's not politically correct to say it. >> it's also -- it's a dumpstb stereotype. m ron is not just a man who i have personal respect for, but he gives conservatism a good name this is not really productive. this is important. we have a responsibility to attack racism, not

. >> our latest reporting, ron, is that we have 113 based on hospital reporting total injured. i would like to play sound for you, dr. alasdair conn addressed the media from mass general. >> some patients have already received traumatic amputations at the scene, their legs have been blown off and bleeding profusely. in conjunction with boston mass on the scene, they're in the operating room already. >> ron, my question four in boston is this, we've seen in other mass casualty events, in other emergencies and crisis, whether caused by natural disaster or whatever, medical infrastructure overwhelmed by the shear number of people they have to process. it seems to me from the reporting we've seen today that the medical infrastructure, first responders, emts into the trauma centers in boston have been able to accommodate the incredible scale of this -- of the violence that happened there today. >> reporter: yes. i don't get the impression from talking to medical personnel or the reports we're hearing that the system is overwhelmed. i don't get that sense at all. you recall right at the end of the marathon, just past the

ron is in good condition. he does need more surgery. but he's said to be doing well. we have been taking time out to remember the victims of the bombings. i'm joined by drphone right now. sanjay, just this information we've got in the tweet from the u.s. attorney's office saying the hospital, beth israel, upgraded the suspect's condition to fair. what does that tell you? what does that mean? >> yeah, you know, when you go from serious condition, which means that the person's vital signs looking at the heart rate, blood pressure, things like that, are stable but still going up and down a bit, a little bit concerning, still requiring intensive care unit to fair, that basically means that things have now become stable and stayed stabilized, which is, you know, you and i were talking about this last night, it's exactly what you'd expect. sounds like the operation that was done was done on saturday. we're now three days after the operation. and it's pretty standard for a patient with that sort of condition to be improving steadily. so, it basically means i think doctors would say he's out of the woods. the biggest concern time is over. there's still concern
