That unfortunately is not always possible. However, this kid was conscious and only required a face mask for oxygenation. So, I doubt he will be in the ICU post op. Most hospitals have a protocol for situations like this. He will be heavily guarded, even in the OR (IMO), which does not happen all the time. Sometimes the cops will be stationed outside the OR and handcuff the prisoner as soon as they hit the door of the OR going into Recovery. Admittedly, I have never been in the OR with a terrorist, only murderers on down. The victims of the bombing may know that this kid is there, but they will not have access to that floor or unit. JMO
