Very interesting story. I was just talking to my 82 year old mom about polio/iron lungs. She was a nursing student in the early 1950's and did some of her training in Boston Children's Hospital. She remembers that there were so many children with polio that they were put in cots in the hallways. She said that Ted Williams and other Red Sox players would come and visit the children. She also remembers watching a woman with polio give birth to a baby while in an iron lung. Again - thank you for an interesting and well produced story.
