I did manage to track down an old 'Smith-Clarke Alligator type' Iron Lung and the people who were looking after this piece of medical history allowed me to get in it for a little while. It was not switched on but those few minuets inside the thing that had caused me nightmares for fifty years laid a ghost to rest for me. Don't get me wrong, they still scare the living daylights out of me but I can now handle the fear a lot easier. Exposure Therapy does work!

Thanks for that Bobby was begining to think i was the only one who had this hang-up. Went to London recently and reluctantly and with the help of my girlfriend actually leaned over the barrier in the Science Museum and touched one, It sent shivers right through me. But it seems the more i confront these things the less i have the night mares. Don't get me wrong these things saved lives, but my God they are awful contraptions.
