𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 All too often, those of us who work in medical devices see our value in the products themselves, or (for those of us in QA/RA) the regulations we are successfully navigating to get and keep them on the market. 🏥💼 I don't think we spend enough time appreciating the stories of the lives that have been extended and improved as the result of these devices. 🌟 March 11th provided one of the most moving examples I can think of, when Paul Alexander passed away after over 70 years in an iron lung. Paul contracted polio in 1952 at the age of 6, at a time when every parent lived in fear of their child contracting this disease. At that time treatment of symptomatic patients often required the use of an external, negative pressure ventilator (aka "iron lung") while they regained the ability to breathe unassisted. In rare cases (such as Paul's), the patient never fully recovers this ability, and needs to spend most of their time for the rest of their lives confined in this device. Paul spent the next 70 years accomplishing some pretty impressive feats: ➡️ Earned his high school diploma, bachelor's, and J.D. degrees, attending classes in person once he learned to breathe on his own for short periods of time ➡️ Practiced law for 30 years ➡️ Published a memoir, which he wrote and typed out over eight years by using a pen attached to a straw ➡️ Made paintings in a similar manner ➡️ Became a TikTok star, with more than 330,000 followers at the time of his death The iron lung (regulated under 868.5935 External negative pressure ventilator, in case you are interested) has almost entirely been replaced with better devices at this point, and successful vaccination campaigns have all but wiped this terrible disease from the planet. But Paul's life shows how much of a difference it really made. 🌍 Working in medical devices can be stressful, with requirements for safety and performance at a much higher level than most other industries, but it's examples like this that should help remind us all why we do what we do. 💪
The inspiring journey of Paul Alexander, the Texas man who lived in an iron lung for over 70 years
