All this stuff was tucked away in drawers and dark corners, just laid it out on the autopsy table for a shot.

Hey, ~Me. That is a great poem and great link! I even take back my comment about slapping you. ;-)

I felt a little easier knowing that people often only needed these behemoths for a week or so, but I am still claustrophobic even looking at them. The link that Motts gave showing an entire room full of people in iron lungs made me very uneasy as well. At the same time I am positive that I would be looking at these in a different way if I couldn't even draw in one good lung full of air, but what a life.

I know and work with many people with disabilities who use various types of adaptive equipment and it is amazing what people can adapt to when the need is there (especially the need to pull in enough air to breathe). And it is even more impressive how many of these folks handle it without complaining. Talk about personal strength!
