Lue tarina miehestä, joka eli yli 70 vuotta rautakeuhkossa ja voitti monia haasteita elämässään. Poliorokoteuhri kuoli pitkän taistelun jälkeen.

Paul Alexander tunnetusti 'Ihminen rautakeuhkossa' menehtyi 78-vuotiaana. Hän sairastui polioon vuonna 1952 ollessaan kuusivuotias, mikä jätti hänet halvaantuneeksi kaulasta alaspäin. Tauti teki hänestä kykenemättömän hengittämään itsenäisesti, joten Alexander vietti suurimman osan elämästään metallisessa keuhkoissa. Miehen elämä oli kuitenkin täynnä saavutuksia, kuten lainopin tutkinnon suorittaminen, asianajajaksi valmistuminen ja menestyksekkään oikeustoimiston perustaminen. Lisäksi hänestä tuli julkaistu kirjailija.

Paul Alexanderin sosiaalisen median manageri kertoi helmikuun lopussa, että hän oli saanut COVID-19-tartunnan ja hänet kiidätettiin ensiapuun. Polio Paulina tunnettu Alexander taisteli loppuun saakka, mutta menetti lopulta taistelunsa.

Paul Alexanderin tarina on inspiroiva esimerkki sinnikkyydestä ja voittamattomasta tahdosta. Vaikka hän joutui kohtaamaan lukuisia haasteita, hän ei koskaan luovuttanut. Hän jätti jälkeensä merkittävän perinnön ja muistetaan 'Ihmisenä rautakeuhkossa'.

Paul Alexander, 'Ihminen rautakeuhkossa', kuoli 78-vuotiaana, mutta hänen tarinansa elää edelleen inspiroivana muistona voittamattomasta tahdosta ja sinnikkyydestä.
