A WOMAN who spent more than 60 years in an iron lung to treat polio has died, aged 83.
June Middleton, who died at a Melbourne nursing home on Friday, was struck down with polio at 22 and marked 60 years in the iron lung on April 5. She celebrated the milestone with friends and her dog, Angel, by her side. http://www.smh.com.au/national/dead-...1101-hqyy.html

RIP, Ms. Middleton. You're a braver woman than I. If there is an afterlife, I hope you get to dance again.
