Stoke FM Knows “Polio Paul” Alexander
A man in Texas has been living in an iron lung for 72 years, since the age of 6, to help him live with the side effects of polio that he contracted in 1952. He has led an incredibly restricted life style in that time, but that hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his law degree, or writing an autobiography. He’s now on Tik Toc, talking about his life, and trying to inspire others.
