  • This is the man in the iron lung. For 71 years he has lived in this metal box because it keeps him alive. But despite this - he has done incredible things with his life. This is the inspiring true story of Paul Richard Alexander.
    Thank you to Paul for welcoming us into your home.
    Thank you to @globalhealthchannel-ae for raising awareness about polio.
    And thank you to @sustentofila for telling this story.

We fall back facing little problems in our life but this man lived 70 years all by his mouth and most importantly not in despondency but with sheer will power achieving everything he wanted. He was living miracle ✨

    Paul is amazing for never giving up.
    I also massively appreciate the effort he went to of telling people about his story often, especially around the time where a lot of people are / were antivax and trying to make others stop getting vaccines, because that is what can bring polio and other almost rotted out diseases back.
    A living Legend, he deserves all happiness that comes to him.

    I have read about Paul before and seen him in educational programs. I worked as a nurse for 42 years and only had one iron lung patient. When he passed away his iron lung parts were donated to Paul as he was the last person to be in an iron lung. By that time parts had stopped being made many years before and were extremely difficult to find. I know Paul had a person who worked on his iron lung all the time and somehow managed to keep it working all those years.
