There was that one scene with the woman in the iron lung. She'd one a contest I think and she was just so happy. But she was in an iron lung. Those things just scare the crap out of me. I'm not sure why. I know it's not likely that I'll ever get like polio or something and have to be put in one, but jeez those things are just creepy.
shareThe idea frightens me too. I think it's normal to fear something like that.
shareI don’t understand why she was in it so long. Aren’t iron lungs used temporarily at the onset of polio when breathing is obstructed?
shareI don't know how old you are, but we were all given the polio vaccine when we were children if you are a Baby Boomer or younger. Today the iron lung has been replaced by the ventilator.
