And we complain about our problems, this poor man . He's in heaven now his body completely whole again.
Did he ever leave that machine ?
Everyone problems is different. He dealt with life threatening issues nobody should compare anything to others. But be grateful ur alive and healthy.
Amen!!!
@@tolethom He could leave the machine several hours per day.
Pretty much
Thanks for visiting his grave site. I had the pleasure of working with him in the hospital in Dallas, TX. I was a respiratory therapist. He was such a beautiful person and had a great personality despite his situation. May he rest in the bossom of Jesus.
Just wanted to add this: All the times I worked with him, I NEVER heard him complain.
Repect to you and thank you
@dnieto1466
Thank you and Be Blessed.
Bless you for caring for this man. I'm sure your job had hard days and it sounds like he was an inspiration.
You are a lucky person to have had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful man!
He was a human Worth knowing ~ I wish I had ❤
@angelachouinard4581
Yes being a respiratory therapist isn't easy. But I like helping him he was a blessing to me. If I recall, we would talk about God together when I would give him his breathing treatments. You be blessed as well.
I was in an Iron Lung at two 1946 paralyzed from the neck down and doctors said I would never walk again. They used the very controversial, Sister Kenny .Method where you are soaked in warm wool wet blankets. The idea is to relax the muscles and blankets. Sister Kenny was not a nun or nurse but a consultant to the medical profession. I eventually was taken out of the Iron Lung and given Therapy and regained my ability to walk. I lost a lot of muscle in my left leg and in my late senior years I sometimes have a loss of strength. By /he grace of God and the knowledge of Doctors I lived a normal life.😊
I believe that you are referring to the Australian Sister, but I was under the impression that she WAS a Registered Nurse. I know that she had great success with her treatments but because she wasn't a Doctor, useless as some of them were, she was only given children to work with when the Doctors had failed and often there was muscle atrophy which is what you ended up having. There is a great deal more about the "polio epidemics" and the actual cause of the disease, but the rates certainly went down after children and their food stopped getting sprayed as they were eating, or swimming or at the park playing. There are many sources available describing this including old movies funded by the aforementioned groups, but unfortunately it doesn't serve Big Pharma and the Medical Industrial Complex as well as the enormous foundations still collecting funds for "research" into polio to discuss this issue. But I am glad that you eventually received some actual therapeutic benefit after an extended period of time, and Sister Margaret certainly gave a lot of children their mobility back. It's a shame that Paul wasn't one of them and just in case you missed it I too was an RN although I am retired now, but I have enormous respect for Sister Margaret standing up for young patients in the face of physicians who despised her! Thanks for reading.
@@michellesartori6695 yes I read up on her and thought the article stated she wasn't a nurse maybe I missed it. Her treatment method was controversial but it saved me from being cripple. A boy from my neighborhood Paul Stanley was in a wheelchair for as long as we stayed in contact. I was very fortunate.
Lester, thank you for sharing your story with all of us! I'm so happy to hear that you've had a good life and have been able to do things that you like to do and didn't have to suffer! Sending you so much love and light! ❤️❤️
Wow that’s amazing ❤
That’s inspiring! I’m happy for you.
He fought the good fight. Now he is with God and whole. He is an inspiration for all of us who complain about our problems. He overcame his disability. RIP Paul!
Waiting for the resurrection.
He’s with who , any proof for that wild claim
@@tristan583 Yes, the same proof that YOU have that he is NOT. Please, if you a re so certain there is no afterlife, by all means, feel free to prove YOUR wild claim.
My point is - Let people believe what they want to believe. It's a-holes like you that make me lose all faith of hope for the human race.
@@tristan583any proof he isn’t?
@@tristan583 The fool says that there is no God. If you want proof, go seek God and ask Him. We shouldn't waste our time giving you proof that you don't even care for.
With all that Paul accomplished WITH his disability- can you imagine what he could’ve done without it!? An incredible man who lit the world on fire- all from an iron lung! RIP Paul.. you won’t be forgotten!
Right on
Life isn't fair. God bless this man.
He shed his cocoon, emerging in his glorious new life.
He even became a lawyer
I can’t imagine living like this. He was a very brave and amazing man. ❤
Paul was such an amazing man. He never allowed his situation to keep him down. He was a happy person.
Young people today whining about little things that don't even matter, should look to this man for some inner strength and peace
Agreed 🤝 💯
Your comment started so nicely, why did you feel the need to shit on young people for this ? What did you think you would achieve with this ? We’ve been already told for years that other people out there have it worse than us so we should be happy, we’ve been told to stop whining about being depressed because ‘’at least you’re not dying under bombs‘’.
I’ve been depressed for years, I’ve been trough numerous childhood traumas ever since I was a toddler, I’ve been suicidal since before I even hit puberty. Of course I know that people have it worse around me, and I actively do what I can to help things to change. Paul has been one of my inspiration for few years, but spoiler alert, learning from him didn’t suddenly healed me.
Shitting on people struggling with their health, mental or physical, is really unhelpful, you could’ve said something truly nice and motivating and instead, you used our struggles to mock us and look down on us. What did we do even do to you ? How is it supposed to be constructive ? Do you maybe do something in your daily life to help the global healthcare, like petitions, donations, protests, etc ? Or do you just sit behind your screen and blame everything on us ?
Not only we have our own physical and mental health to handle alone, but there’s also our whole life. Because not only are the older generations shitting on us verbally (for being lazy, insensitive, selfish, addicts, etc…), but also our future that they are destroying, the insane inflations, the destruction of the environment, the treatment of employees, basic human rights being revoced, etc…
If getting better was as easy as listening someone like Paul, everyone would do it. And most of us do it already anyway, I myself watch a lot of people who went trough life changing traumatic situations and how they managed to keep living a happy life. But that’s not how years of deep traumas will suddenly resolve themselves. And in fact, Paul was like us when he was younger. Most disabled adult who are now telling their happily ever after story, they were also struggling at our age. Late teen is the moment where the stress of life rises, for some teen it’s the moment where they might get kicked out or need to run away from home. Early adult age is the moment where no matter your situation, you have to take decisions for your future, your job, your place of living. And at the same time, you have to handle your traumas and your bad health. Just because happy disabled adult don’t always tell it, it happens. If they were allowed to struggle as young people, why can’t we ? They had to struggle and slowly heal, accept their situation and grow in maturity, and after that they were able to find happiness no matter their condition. Us young people, we are still at the stage of drowning in it, we see what we’re supposed to grab on to keep going, but are too much fighting for our life first. Just like the adults did before us.
We never whine for the sake of it, somehow saying that we’re tired of being shitted on makes people say that we are whining even more. We are just going trough what most adults today kept silence because it used to be taboo. But we are tired of mental and physical illnesses being taboo when it’s way more common than it is. Just because we now hide it less doesn’t mean that there’s more of it, it just means that you are now seeing what today’s happy disabled adults went trough at our age that they didn’t forcibly talked about.
Wow was that a long winded rant/whine for being told the truth
@@judyjackson639 Seriously! The “Boo-Hoo” narcissistic victim. 🫥
I feel u sis
Retired respiratory therapist here. Good explanation of the iron lung...
I heard he just died. He was a very strong man! My mom had polio and was in a body brace for 2 1/2 years.
My uncle had polio as a child but he was one of the luckier ones. After contracting polio he recovered his ability to walk again though he would have problems with his hips for the rest of his life. He died in his 50s of a sudden pulmonary embolism during his stay in the hospital for a hip replacement.
@@oldgordo61I’m sorry to hear that❤
Well done. Rest in Peace Paul. You're free now. 🌹
Prime example of someone always has it worse than you do. RIP Paul
I hope he's with his wife again, enjoying a better afterlife. May they rest in peace.
The things he accomplished his condition. He was a great man, RIP
I lost one of my playmates to polio. May he rest in peace.
My mom who was born in 1927 had childhood polio but she fought through it as one of 12 children and went on to make a full recovery and raised 7 children of her own and had dozens of grandchildren and great grandchildren, a truly wonderful and loving amazing mother, wife grandmother ❤
My sister got it a year before the vaccine. She is still living and has post polio syndrome but has lived a full life bglad your mom did too.
🙏🏾💪🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
She was amazing ❤
I clicked as fast as I could. That poor sweet man. RIP ❤
He was an inspiration. Although he was in an iron lung, he still managed to earn a law degree and I believe he had a law practice.
Yes he did and he was a great lawyer
RIP Paul. You are an inspiration.
I didn’t know he died I remember him. He use to write with his mouth. He had a good out going attitude RIH Paul
I have heard of Paul Alexander and it’s so sad what he went through, thank you Lamont for the video. Keep safe everyone from 🇬🇧
I remember Paul giving an interview and talking about how they didn’t make the parts for his iron lung anymore and how no one even knew how to work on them! Can you imagine the fear of not knowing if it broke what you would do!
There was a machine shop in Dallas that bought an old one and made the parts for it.
Paul accomplished so much in his life that nobody ever thought possible. He had an incredible outlook on life and was such a remarkable man. Rest in peace, Paul. 🕊️
RIP 🙏 Paul you are an inspiration you are loved ❤and missed
He was similar to Charles krauthammer-who was paralyzed in a diving accident & still attended medical school becoming a psychiatrist but was a journalist when he passed away.
In the early eighties there was a woman in Hillsborough California, who had been at that time the longest survivor in an iron lung. She passed away suddenly around 1983.
Thank you Lamont so much for covering Pauls story. He was such an inspiration and amazing person
May he rest in peace and I look forward to his resurrection back on the earth 🌎 where he will truly be free of all things he suffered before.. Rev 21:3,4 and Psalms 37:11/29 😊
This man achieved so much in his life what an incredible man. RIP
RIP Paul fly high feel free
He is the epitome of perseverance. God Bless him, and may he rest in peace.
Lamont, thank you telling this courageous man's story. I too was born back in that era; the threat was always there. Stay safe bud.
I've seen this guy before but didnt know he had died and so recently!! Glad he found love before the end. What a magnificent spirit he had and what fortitude!! Thank you for covering him.
God bless Paul and his precious wife Mary, now in a place where they can fly around the galaxy never to be held down by that iron lung no more!! Thank you Lamont for sharing this man's incredible story of his life. The strongest man that ever lived in heart and mind and soul.❤❤❤
This video should be shown in high schools around the USA ! Retired teacher here 37 years! It might just help motivate students to study and improve their lives! If Paul could do the things he did , what is their excuse???? SERIOUSLY!🤔🤔👩🏫👩🎓👩🎓
Why Seriously?
"Love your life..." Amen Brother Lamont. Well said. RIP Mr. Alexander.
Paul Alexander is the best example of perseverance of all time. For a man who could not move, he was unstoppable. Thank you posting this, Lamont. His example will remain for us, and future generations in which to live their lives.
What a strong soul. Excellent job as usual Lamont. ✌️
It goes to show we never should take our lives for granted ..because Tomorrow is not promised ...
Hi
I swear he was still with us…. How sad. RIP.
Being disabled didn't stop him, he accomplished more in his life than a dozen of healthy men put together or more !! Such a noble kind man, he always had a smile while being interviewed and not once complained about his tragedy... a man with a strong will and character...Bless his soul ...now you are free wherever you are !!
When I was a first grader (71 now), a young man down the street was in an Iron Lung. I would go and visit with him. I don’t remember much but I will never forget that monstrosity.
Hope they both are resting in peace and blessings to them both ...thanks for sharing his story.
My grandma had polio when she was about 10 years old. She spent about 6 weeks in an iron lung. Fortunately she recovered but she had mild paralysis in one of her legs for the rest of her life.
He seemed to be a very sweet man all the way up through his life,RIP
It's sad for me but he had to want to live.Thanks Lamont.~~~Sherry.
He is with God breathing perfectly ....😊
You don't need air on the other side!loll
In heaven there's no air needed cause it's a perfect place. But yes he doesn't need to worry about breathing anymore, he is now happy in heaven.
Stay safe out there, and rock on, Lamont! 💜✌
A sad and yet interesting story. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Lamont, for covering this story, it was sad, touching but inspiring too. I always thought Paul Richards led his whole life in that iron lung, but you've explained his life story really well. Those poor kids with polio back in the 1940s/50s, what they had to go through and those dreadful contraptions must have been torture for them. Im glad you got there soon, two months after his death, ignore negative comments about 'you're there already?!!!'. Please do a follow up when you can about the whereabouts of his iron lung. 👊🇬🇧✌️
Hi from south africa this was amazing man to be able to mentally motivate himself to have studied, first time i heard of iron lung machine
Rest well in peace Paul…you’re a true inspiration for everyone especially for those of us that have severe disabilities where mobility is a major battle every day.
Thank you Lamont for sharing Paul's story!! He truly persevered and was such an inspiration to others!! Thank God he is now completely healed!! His story should make others appreciate the blessings they have!!❤
I hope the next life is better for him .
Poor bloke, what a fighter.
Hey Lamont....he's at peace now❤
As a respiratory therapist
Positive pressure in the lungs is really bad ventilators use positive pressure
Whereas the iron lung uses negative force to move your diaphragm
I’ve read so much about his situation and the push to move these survivors to a vent. How many were pushed into “adapting” to the different technology who couldn’t tolerate it and died sooner,I wonder. I came to so be8ng ventilated when I had H1N1 flu in 2008 pandemic of it, and the desperation for air was horrible at 75% 02. My doc told me I would prob be out in one the next day but my breathing improved overnight and I was able to go home after a couple of weeks. This is nothing compared to his ordeal and it traumatized me!
An absolutely amazing story about personal triumph amidst super challenging health issues. What we could all learn from him and his amazing wife. Great story!!
I've heard about Paul, but I didn't know he died March 11th of this year. He was a strong example of perseverance and determination. Rest in peace to both him and his wife for making a great impact onto this earth.
What a sad life for a kid back then, perhaps that was the fire that made him stronger by what the doctors were saying. Good for him to beat the odds. Bless him for fighting back. RIP Paul Alexander 💐💐💐💐💐. Your a miracle in history. Thank you Lamont. 👍👍✌️🤟🏼💕💕
This wonderful man was an optimistic!
His condition didn’t stop him from getting a lawyers degree and writing his own book which took years ( typing each letter with a pencil positioned in his mouth). His love for life and bravery was an inspiration and he didn’t let his sickness stop him…❤ A Truly Special man!
Now he can run free in heaven. 🥹 RESPECT! 🙏🏻🕊️🥰
Could you please tell me the name of his book??

Very attractive
I didn’t even realise this man had died. I remember watching the documentary on him a few years ago. What an incredible life and The technology to repair the iron was no longer available because it was Antique
RIP Paul you overcame so many obstacles, you accept yourself for who you are
Paul Alexander was a very brave and inspirational man, he never gave up and made the most of what he could do in life.
What a man...
The man that lived in the iron lung may you have found a place in the arms of the Lord Almighty rest in peace 🕊️🕊️
Amen 🙏🏼
He passed on my Birthday. I had no idea he was still living. I remember the story when i was younger. Glad he was able to go to college, become an Attorney, and live a long life. People without his restrictions, do so much less. He's a testimony to, if you dream it, you can achieve it. May he forever rest in Heaven
R.i.p. Mr Paul he was amazing man
What an amazing story, thank you for the telling of it!🙂💯💥👍✌Peace Out!🙏!
Was a sweet man, he had such a kind smile,
RIP 🪦 🕊️
Your channel is simply amazing sir! I can't begin to imagine, and in 1959 I was in an iron lung. Safe travels 🙏
Wow what an awesome guy. Just when I think I've got it bad I see a story like this. Great video Lamont
Amazing man
My brother had polio in 1955 and I was exposed but never got it! Luckily my brother had the non paralytic type and he survived and thrived, the Dr said if it was the paralytic type he would have been in an iron lung too! God is good and was to my brother! Paul not so much I can't imagine his life in that iron lung❤ great story Lamont he was quite a guy gog bless him RIP!
Martha Lillard is the only one left in an iron lung She is 76
Wow.....I've never heard of her. I'll have to research her.
There's a few more like her that are still alive they just arnt noticed by the public yet
He's one hell of an inspiration. Whenever I feel life getting tough, I just have to think what this guy achieved and under which circumstances he did it. An absolute real life badass.
What A Hero He Was.😢
Hi
I couldn't live like that
Me either
Well that's the difference between him an you. He had courage
Paul would have made an excellent sailor! Chesapeake Bay sailing advice from a Marylander! " I cannot change the direction of the wind, but I can ADJUST my sails"! Paul obviously adjusted his sails ! And in the traditional of the US Navy "We are wishing you a Happy Voyage Home !" Paul! Smooth sailing ahead of⚓️⛵️⚓️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
You’d be surprised what you can do if you have no other choice. He had no other choice and he decided that he wasn’t going to take the coward’s way out. Because of his decision his life made a powerful impact for good on others.
@@elizabethcochrane9015It wasn’t courage it was not having any other choice and your comment was rude
What a story people complain everyday about They life and people out here lives are worser people take things for granted live everday like it your last because you don't know what will happen in life 💜
Poor baby how sad for him Rip to you you are whole again Bless you
Paul has always made my hero short list. RIP sir.
I can't imagine how he felt.. what a brave man. God bless him. I hope he's walking in heaven.xxx❤❤❤
RIP Mr. Alexander
I was thinking about Paul yesterday. WOW I never knew he was married!
He was also a lawyer
Thanks, Lamont! We don't know how short life is! What a life to live. He was a strong man with a beautiful soul. RIP Paul🙏
My cousin got sick instantly with polio. My aunt and cousin were quarantined in the hospital when he was diagnosed with polio. He didn’t have to live in an iron lung but he had died in his early 30s with only 3/4 of one lung. He learned to play the guitar and wrote some songs.
Poor cousin, and all of you who lost him. huggg…
Thank y’all. He never complained and he was a joy.
WHAT😳😳😳😳😳 I didn’t even know the poor man passed!
..and yet he still smiled
I didnt know he passed. I had started following him and was amazed by him. GOD BLESS HIM . RIP.
Rip 😢🙏🙏🙏I did not know he was living in Dallas
REST IN PEACE PAUL ALEXANDER 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Another great show thank you.
Goes to show you can overcome any obstacle with enough determination and willpower.A very special man indeed
Great story 😊
I think Pauls iron lung should be put into the Smithsonian to be viewed.
It's a piece of history.
May Paul rest in eternal peace.
He was an amazing man.
Rest in peace, sir. If I were him, I'd have said, "Bury me standing up."
You have such a big heart Lamont ❤️❤️❤️
This is the best you have done Lamont . Proud of you . Well done.
I hope that they kept that iron lung as a museum piece.
