This Man Spent 71 Years in this Iron Lung

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.

[@Jadiac5]

I remember seeing a story about him a few years back. 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.

Dude makes me feel grateful and can walk and run and use my body. I thank God for saving me and I pray God keeps saving him.

Now that I got to know about him, I will play this video everytime I feel it impossible to face any difficulty and get inspiration from him. He has been recognized by Guinness World Record as the longest patient with iron-lung. 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 ✨

He is awesome! This story was inspriring because it reminded me of Frida Kahlo, who also got polio, but became one of the most famous artists to go down in history. She didn't have an iron lung to live in, but she lived long enough to make her most famous works. Respect to this man, who became an accomplished lawyer, and has done amazing things with his life when he couldn't even move his muscles! Truly an inspiration.
