Doctors described objects "clearly designed to be projectiles" had to be removed from patients who were injured in Tuesday's Boston Marathon explosions, the Boston Herald reported. The medical center continues to treat patients, as ten remain in critical condition, with three others in serious condition.

"The vast majority were low extremity patients, some of them had what we call traumatic amputations, due obviously to the bomb," Boston Medical Center trauma surgeon Dr. Tracey Dechert said. "Others had mangled extremities to the point that they we and those patients obviously required operations, and still will require operations."
