We used to see these a lot in the movies. One woman--Dianne Odell-- had been confined to an iron lung for nearly 60 years. She was diagnosed with polio before the polio vaccine was invented. Odell lived in an iron lung because she had a severe case of polio – bulbar polio – which had left her paralyzed and unable to breathe on her own.

"Song of the South." I loved this movie as a kid--I remember the combination of real-life and cartoons and the music. Seeing the movie did not turn me into a racist.
