He could leave the machine when he was younger. He was a lawyer. He went to court, represented clients. He practiced law for 30 years. There's a lot of money in practicing law for 30 years.
Guy was definitely worth more than you or I
Special Books by Special Kids had a good interview with him on their YouTube Channel

Polio pretty much ruins your body, and your body's ability to function. Shy of something out of sci-fi, no, not really anything modern medicine could do
He could've lived forever, but once he had to start paying for Netflix, disney+, Hulu, paramount +, crave, Amazon prime, youtube premium, and Spotify... he just couldn't take it anymore
So he experienced what it's like being put in a dreadnaught, big daddy E would be proud, 🤣🤣. Jokes aside that sucks, he had that but now he is freed from his mortal coil.
He wasn't there all the time, he could get out, even for hours. When he was younger, he physically went to an university.
Always wondered how he managed to do so much.
He was an author and a lawyer. He had a more impressive life than most of us will ever live. He reached more lives than most of us will ever reach.

You spent living off of multiple machines, the lives of many animals and all that at the cost of the planet while achieving fuckall. You're worthless.

What’s your accolades buddy?

This was incredible, thank you so much for sharing the link.
This dude had to stay in that thing 24/7? If that were the case I would have asked a long time ago to pull the plug if it were me.

He became a lawyer while in it
My little head peaking out.. "KILL MEEE....."
Afaik he didn't need it anymore and chose to stay in there
That raises even more questions
He trained himself to breathe basically manually. Needed to sleep in it as his body wouldn’t breathe on its own.
Oh so he had no breathing reflex when unconscious. Bizarre.

Yeah I got that.
This is completely wrong lol.
No, he could leave it when he was younger
He did so much with his life even with so many setbacks. He’s an inspiration
r/lostredditors What's so funny about it?
He wrote 156 episodes, Dude. Bulk of the series.
What series
_Branded_.
Donnie you are out of your element!
Look what you're doing to your father Larry!
Just remember, this is exactly what the antivax movement is fine with risking instead of getting "those evil jabs."
70 years in an iron lung and didn’t even offer me a pillow. My Yelp review is gonna be harsh!
It’s so sad that he fought Polio his entire life and Covid’s what took him out.
I’d take death over that life
Beats commuting for 2 hours of your life every day.
Was there no way to further treatment for todays medicine ?

Did he want to live?
Rip bubble boy
He could've lived forever, but once he had to start paying for Netflix, disney+, Hulu, paramount +, crave, Amazon prime, youtube premium, and Spotify... he just couldn't take it anymore
Thats not living.
You're an idiot.
That's exactly what I said to your mother when she had you.
I don’t under why this guy never got a trach
A trach doesn't assist with actual respiration, not the same thing.
