What a life.

Arnold Beisser,an avid tennis player, graduates medical schooland shortly thereafter contacts polio, goes through the iron lung regime, unexpectedly lives into his sixties (one of the last surviving victims of that era) and then life begins to get incredibly bleak. Read how life under such conditions is even possible and, learnedly, what are the options. Here is material to increase our humanity; here is a lesson in courage; here is grace in a place without comfort.
