50 MINS AGO?
Oh god, that’s amazing! Your a great person 😊
U are the most amazing person ever giving him 10 grand
Yow
Wtf is he gonna do with money he's stuck in that fucking tube
“Why’d you write your book?”
“To inspire thousands”
My man, you’ve inspired millions.
What the cost of his life ? He talk about " work hard " ... but he dont work at all
On bro.
@@larietournelle7904 ?
No, BILLIONS!
@@larietournelle7904 What do you mean he became a lawyer while being completely paralyzed
This man passed highschool, passed college, became a lawyer, wrote a book with his condition and here I am sitting in my room doing nothing with all of my body parts working
Take advantage of those duction, go get something done
LOL
I mean most people are "normal" so they do nothing for the rest of their life. That's not necessarily bad. But you should probably do something, especially, being young.
Feels bad
most of the time, it's not the problem of the outside,its our inside
Sadly, Paul passed away on 11th March at age 78. What a life he lived, living 72 years longer than he thought he would.
Sad, he really got fame though, I'm happy for him
Yeah
After hearing about it, I just had to rewatch this jewel again.
His story is definitely one of the most inspiring, and he himsel is ironically the strongest person in the modern day.
I pity his situation, but I bet the man didn't even need it cuz he was achieving more than most of us.
Rest in peace.
NOOOOOOOOO
Martha Lillard:Phew.
It has to be stated that Paul’s lungs became strong enough in his teen years that he could be outside the iron lung during the day in a wheelchair and slept in the Iron Lung at night. This allowed him to actually practice law in court like Ironside (Raymond Burr). During the Pandemic, he retreated back to his home and spends much more time in the Iron Lung. It is inspirational as he played the hand delt and makes the most of it.
Thats an out dated machine. Why not use a newer one?
@@rubymargaritais5657 According to a 2020 Guardian interview with him: "By the time positive-pressure ventilators were in widespread use, however, Paul was used to living in his lung, and he had already learned to breathe part of the time without it. He also never wanted a hole in his throat again. So he kept his iron lung."
@@simplymisc I see.
And yeah he lasted until the Cold War ended and today he still survived @@simplymisc
Ah I was wondering if he had to be in it all the time. I had visions of him being delivered to court in a open back truck each day in his lung!
This guy almost lost his life, but never lost his will to live. Inspiring people everyday, what a guy...

no cos the video isn’t about the doctor
Its his fucking job that hes paid to do.
@@adamnorthwood1673 very true, but he certainly does deserve thanks
sure he saved his life, but to be honest i would rather be left to rot and die if i lost my ability to move around.

This is the strongest, most persistent, and optimistic man I’ve ever seen 😊
DUDE THE MENTAL STRENGTH TO LIVE DECADES WITHOUT MOVING ... DUDEEEEEEEEEE ITS INSANE TO ME .. UNFATHOMABLE
Even when he's in an iron lung, he
- graduated high school with honors
- graduated college
- became a lawyer
and wrote an entire book with a pen on a stick, one letter at a time....gotta admire his dedication and unwillingness to give up. He's not just any legend, he's THE legend. If you can dream it, you can do it.
@Power_Girl_89 you a weirdo no duh 🙄 my God I feel pity for you.
Yes we can do ANYTHING if we really want to. This legend did all of this wile being like this. This should be motivational we that can breath walk move our body always wining avout stuff we need to start working hard and be yhankful for what we have

You know, I’ve been struggling a lot with my health for many years. Always complaining, being ungrateful and pessimistic of my future. This man opened my eyes on how lucky I am, and no matter what my circumstances are, that I should still try to do what I’ve always wanted in life. Even if I fail a few times it shouldn’t discourage me from trying again and again until till I reach my dreams. Thank you for the wonderful insight, I’m done being a victim of my own misery. Here’s to 2024 and new beginnings! 🎉
I wish you áll the best!❤
Let’s go!
❤❤❤
I was so depressed for my future today, but then, I am impressed by your heart and effort, Paul. Thank you! from Japan
He said somewhere hung on kids to life, faith, hope, to God and to love for others, it gets rough kids sometimes but then it gets better too, life is beautiful.
Remember your true form is your soul. Your body is just a suit. You are put here on earth for a purpose. Either there is something you have to do or there is a lesson for you to learn. In the end when you die, your soul goes back home.
This man wrote a book with his mouth. That hit me. I see normal people everyday bitching about stuff or how they have bad luck or how stuff isnt working out. Myself included. Incredible story
Different people with different situations bro, just because someone is worse off doesn't mean other people's problems in their lives aren't affecting them, just remember that. Were all different.
@@smolpp585 i think he meant how people complain about the littlest things that don’t matter.
TRUE
everyone have their own problems, stfu and stop comparing ppl

-Paul may have an iron lung, but he has a golden soul, and a diamond heart.

omg….
😢 RIP from the bottom of my heart
He died on March 11
Dude technology needs to advance quickly so that Paul can get a synthetic lung and travel the world. Paul deserves it.
hes paralyzed from the neck down... he needs more than a synthetic lung
@@HDIceWatch a chair is enough so that someone can move him around
@@HDIceWatch he could travel with a caretaker
@@kostas_geo9720 He still needs the Iron Lung for most of the day or at the very least to sleep in it, as sad as it is, it would be very hard to travel with it.
I think that Paul would be more happy moving around. But overall a care taker would be best
he's a hero. i'm not kidding, this is the strongest guy i've ever seen before.
do you like kidding ppl ?
Well he does have lungs of iron
I believe him
That's not the definition of the word hero, my dude
hero? yeah he’s amazing, but who did he save?
Это не просто человек, это герой. Не представляю как тяжело так жить и осознавать что ты находишься в безвыходной ситуации. Жаль нельзя ему никак помочь
They say when you lose an organ other organs become strong. For him, losing almost all the functions of his body except his head, made his head the most strongest a human head ever can be. The picture that he painted (2:57) and the biography that he wrote using a pen in his mouth just shows how strong his brain had become. And with that came even more determination to survive, I guess. He chose to do something where I bet anyone else on this planet would give up long ago. But he is the one who stood out and became an example of perseverance and not to whine about your condition and instead deal with whatever you have and accomplish things that even "fit', "normal" humans even can't...
This man has every right to be upset, ungrateful, and even depressed. Yet he’s not. He’s happy and living his life as well as physically and mentally can. We can all learn a thing or two from him.
What do we know of how he feels. Rarely you will see a depressed person express it openly, especially in such age.
Ça c'est certains je suis d'accord
Idk about that, when one is ungreatful mostly means they don't want to live. This guy wants to live so he is always greatful.

@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW First off when I comment this I’m not trying to start a fight but polio was way way more deadly than COVID 19. Secondly, it’s a persons choice what is put in their bodies. And by the way, I’m not an anti vaccine person so don’t come at me.
He is so inspiring, ever since I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I felt like it was contagious. No one wanted to hang out, never wanted to be friends. And every time I transferred to a new school everyone would stare at me for 1 minute and then whisper to their friend. I overheard some of the things they said, people would say "who's that fat pig?" Or "is she a real living cow?" I was so insecure about myself. Once I saw him he made me cry he made me think "maybe I can do anything they are just rude." Thank you Paul for being so inspiring! Thank you 🙏

I remember my crush in elementary had diabetes and I would walk with him to the nurse everyday to get it checked lol. Idk if this is relevant but it just reminded me of that
You should find people who want to be with you for the way you are. There’s always people like that. Keep strong and hold your head high. You are worthy and the opinion that matters the most is how you feel about yourself.
lmao just loose weight
Your body is just a suit. Your true form is your soul. You are here on earth temporarily for a task or lesson you have to learn. When you die, your soul leaves your body and you go home.

Don't feel sorry for him. He didn't make himself a victim of his situation; instead he excelled in his life.
There are pictures of him outside the iron lung so maybe he doesn't have to stay in it the entire time .
What a man and his mental strength is so inspiring. Makes you realise how fortunate most of us are.

Anyone here after it was announced that he passed away? May he Rest In Peace ♥️
He made something of his life.
R.I.P Paul
I hate seeing people suffer like this. Look how genuinely good of a person he is, but underneath all that is decades of pain, unfathomable amounts of suffering. If you ever happen to read this comment, I hope God gives you all the mansions, all the endless happiness you deserve once you reach him. Ill pray for you, stay strong, you certainly made me stronger.
@ً There is one
sOOO sad 😭😭😭😭 ❤️❤️
yeah
I dont need mansions and money to be happy...😁
@ً Should have made your comment more meaningful if you were going to make one at all then since you were going to be ghe first, just saying lol.
“Paul may have an iron lung but he has a golden soul and a diamond heart”. That part would make all of my family cry
Hell it made me cry :((
Plus an iron will!
I scrolled down and saw this comment and then the video said the exact same words
But that part is amazing and I like it
That's made me cry💔
🙏
Rest in peace paul ❤
