At just 17 years old, Adolf Ratzka contracted polio and became paralyzed. As a result, he spent three long, lonely months in an iron lung. In the first video of our new series, "My Time Inside an Iron Lung," Adolf recounts his experiences living in an iron lung, as well as his subsequent struggle with his physical and mental health, and his determination to live a life of helping others.
Thank you, Adolf, for sharing your story with us!
