  • whenever you feel like your life is horrible, think of this woman.

  • I heard she died recently due to a power failure, may this courageous woman RIP. She should be an inspiration to us all to enjoy life and to not complain.

  • There is a Wikipedia article about Dianne Odell

  • @blackopszombiekill11 all they asked is how she would sleep.

  • I don't really understand...O.K, she can't use a cuirass shell because of kyphoscoliosis, but what's stopping her from getting a tracheostomy? The only downside is the inability to speak ALL the time, but you have that ability with a Pass-Muir valve no doubt. I'd rather move around and see the world with the inability to speak at all times then be stuck in that loud outdated technology.

  • thats fucking worse than prison holy shit

  • It's disgusting that the company that bought out the original one who serviced the 'iron lungs' refused to continue servicing.

  • @mazza6595 shut up! What would you do if that was you.

  • with the iron lung been so loud, how on earth did she manage any sleep????

  • @Eagertman Respironics is the company, look them up. They have a comments area where you may be able to make a difference Respironics dot com

  • @delise54 See the link I posted from 10 news in 2004.
