This Man Has Lived Inside the Iron Lung Machine for 65 Years!

This isn’t correct, he can go about 6 hours per day out of it because of the treatment but he isn’t fully cured. He still has to eat and sleep in it which is why he isn’t depressed.

He was an incredible man with incredible spirit, fight, and determination. Most people would give up and die, and nobody lives long after contracting this disease, which is why Paul was such an inspiration.
He lost the freedom of his body, but not of his mind. He taught himself to breathe so he was able to go for four hours outside of the lung - not every day. I doubt this time was used for anything else other than moving around the room to aid blood circulation.
From the iron lung he studied to be - and became - a lawyer and he also wrote a book.
It's deeply humbling to think he achieved more in his life than most of us will, and that his will to live and enjoy life as much as he could meant he survived until 78 years of age.
R.I.P Paul ❤🙏

A warrior and champion who fought until the bitter end a true inspiration (RIP) 🙏❤

Rest in peace. My grandmother was partially paralyzed by polio. And most younger folks have no idea how fortunate they are to live in a country that largely ended it. Or how dangerous it is to let an unrestricted flow from countries where polio is still extant into the country.

I’ve also heard of Martha Millard, another person using the iron lung. She is also able to walk for very short amounts of time

Why didn’t they replace his iron lung when something more advanced?
