	Henry L You're welcome John R! You (The public) should learn these things. I shudder to think if the hospitals ever have to reactivate all iron lungs.

	Henry L Debi G from Oz The color thing here wasn't for that reason. The hospital did it for the guys who used them.

	Henry L Debi G from Oz I think more to it then that. I think people think to themselves "What if that was me?" I have muscular dystrophy. CMD I have gotten a lot of the same reaction "How can you sleep in that?" I think with the unknown people will keep asking the same questions. I know more about respiratory thing and iron lungs and I know most doctors and nurses would probably think that I don't. Email me @ mydisabilitytalk@hotmail.com

	Henry L Dave most people that see these pictures don't realize that REAL people with feelings and hearts used them. I went here for meny years and I knew the guys that used them and thats why I get upset if I read rude comments. I know most of them passed away (RIP)

	Henry L Brian H I tell people all the time that you don't know how you would handle things like that unless you had to. I had to. Death is slow when you can't breath.

	Henry L Hi Dave I'm glad we can keep you interested.

	Henry L Amy the hospital is the ones who painted them and another thing they would do is switch the picture tube in the tv sets so when the guys were in them it would be going in the right way. anyone has questions email me garfieldhen34@aol.com

Location: Linton State Hospital Gallery: Deep Breaths

	Henry L Lynne no one asks any questions to some one who knows. Thanks for telling them anyway. =)

	Henry L chrissie The people that used these ones"cause I knew them" didn't stay in them 24/7. I never thought of death. The people got trecs after a few years.

Location: Linton State Hospital Gallery: Deep Breaths

	Henry L People can watch TV too. I was in a rehab hospital where thay reversed the picture tube so it would look right.
