There was a woman who just recently passed away. She had been in an iron lung for most of her life. During a storm, the power went out and they had a faulty back up generator. She passed away due to this. She was in very poor health however (not that you are particularly healthy being in one of those things), and was probably going to pass away very soon anyways.....according to the article I read.

This saline was intended for intravenous use, and even today these bottles are used for Ativan and Nitroglycerin drips.(These drugs are not stable in todays plastic iv bags.)
A needle did pierce the rubber stopper on the top (really the bottom, as the bottle is hung from the metal ring at the base onto the IV pole) but was pulled out, leaving a plastic sheath inside to connect to someone's IV tubing. Or it could have been used to draw up sterile water in syringes for reconstituting or diluting other drugs for injections. Interesting find. Kinda spooky how medicine has come so far, yet remained the same.

I live in one of the condos at Bennett College. I love the feeling of being where so much activities took place. I dread the day when the demolition will take place!

With all the technology nowadays,they couldn't transfer to a system like Christopher Reeve had sitting up ? I don't understand why her life could've been less confining near the end of her life. Very tragic...God Bless her....R.I.P. Dianne

Just to let you know that Diane Odell, age 61, of Jackson, TN died yesterday after being confined to an iron lung since age 3. Her parents, now in their 80's, were so dedicated to caring for her. You can read articles in our local newspaper at jacksonsun.com

groups of paitent beds would be in this room. each one would have a light facing them. where uv rays would shine on them. kinda like a huge tanning bed used mostly for Rickets (a vitiamin D difficency) before they didnt know that UV rays caused skin cancer. The Bader Solarium
