West Des Moines podiatrist Kirk Neustrom was serving his 19th year at the finish line, in the medical tent when the bombs blasted at the Boston marathon.
Dr. Neustrom described that Monday as 'slow' before the he all of a sudden heard a big boom, as he described. As he watched the smoke cover the sky, the second explosion took place, leaving Neustrom with no choice but to switch gears.
The 53-year-old Navy veteran began heading toward the blast, "like a fish swimming upstream" he said. The mass casualty drills from his military training kicked in and he began assisting in basic triage as the emergency medical team began surrounding the area.

When Louisville player, Kevin Ware broke his leg at the March 31 game against Duke, viewers nationwide were stunned at what might be the most gruesome injury in national television history.
In the attempt to block a shot from an opponent, Ware landed awkwardly on his right leg, which left his tibia bone protruding from his leg.
CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus spoke out about banning further airing of the footage that displayed the injury. He felt that this is something that viewers nationwide had access to, including children and families so it would be in their best interest to refrain from releasing it any further.
Kevin Ware hopes to make a speedy recover and anticipates participating in the next game, from the bench of course.
