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.

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.

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.

One of my main foster Dads, Fred got polio when he was 17-18. He stayed in the hospital almost two years or more strapped on special tables because it started twisting his spine.He was a very quiet person but i remember my foster Grandma showing us pics of him in the hospital and just remember them talking about how dark of a time that was for him..He was a handsome guy, but it left him w a hunch back almost. He was one of THE hardest working Dads I've ever seen. He had a cabinet shop he started in our kitchen and back-deck and soon had his own huge shop on our property, making custom cabinets ect, for the wealthier people in the "Fairfield Glade" community next to us. He died from a stomach aneurysm when i was 18, but one of the best Dads ever. This man was a really strong man too, talk about tenacity! Whenever we think of just giving up and dying, we should remember people like this!

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!

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!

Your channel is simply amazing sir! I can't begin to imagine, and in 1959 I was in an iron lung. Safe travels 🙏

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.

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

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.

I am around his age and I remember clearly having to get the polio shot back in the 50s. It's funny how kids think. I always thought that if I ran fast enough I could outrun polio. God bless this man and may he and his wife rest in peace.

Wow his wife died 4 days before my dad (my dad passed from leukemia on October 25th 2022) my mom only lasted 6 months without him and she passed too on may 21st 2023, they were married for 49 years. I do feel when younhave been with someone for that long that they dont live without eachother for a long period of time
