quote [ The long read: When he was six, Paul Alexander contracted polio and was paralysed for life. Today he is 74, and one of the last people in the world still using an iron lung. But after surviving one deadly outbreak, he did not expect to find himself threatened by another ]

If you search for "Paul Alexander iron lung" on YouTube there are several interesting videos about him - i like the Gizmodo one the best.
I had heard about him some time ago, due to my being a Rotarian, but this article taught me some things I had not known about him before. His story has motivated me to make significant donations to Rotary's campaign to eradicate polio.
