Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung

Product Information

I was not happy though that the only way to add this notification was either as a title/subtitle or as standard text — even with bolding and italicization available. I wanted something that was clearly setoff from my text in a different typeface, but not overshadowing it in any way either. I realized that what I wanted was a font size and style much like that of the attribution found underneath images on Medium. US health authorities on Friday confirmed that 100,233 people have tested positive for Covid-19 over the past 24 hours.

The line “Do you want to publish a book on Medium?” at the top of this story, under the main image, is an example of what it looks like, although I didn’t place a link on it. However, the rest of the book after chapter 2 really jumps around a lot and randomly introduces people in his life. There is also a lot of random musings that get thrown in. There were many instances reading this where I thought "where did that come from?" or "Why wasn't this mentioned before?" The report also represents the world’s highest national daily casualty toll during the pandemic, surpassing India’s record 24-hour spike in daily cases of 97,894 recorded in September.Icame to Medium out of frustration. I had read an article in an online “prosumer” magazine that has the air of a serious scientific journal, but which fails to encompass the heart of science — the debate — by disallowing any comments or unsolicited rebuttals/responses to their articles. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s January projection would surpass the nearly 61,000 deaths in April when the pandemic first exploded in the United States and flooded New York City hospitals. Contrary to popular belief Polio is not extinct. This is the true story of an indomitable spirit afflicted with unimaginable physical and psychological challenges. Paul Alexander’s life is a saga that started in 1946 and has been profoundly shaped by the Polio epidemic of the early 1950’s. Survivors of the 1950’s Polio Epidemic in America are rare. Polio victims, like Paul Alexander, who require the assistance of an “Iron Lung” respirator for their life’s breath are even rarer. Paul Alexander has crafted his life against all odds and has a courageous and compelling story to share with us all. Victims of Polio, their families, friends and communities are struggling to cope with this obscure but still dangerous infectious disease. This book is a testimony to the strength of the human spirit and an affirmation of the need to continue efforts to eradicate the pestilence of Polio from the planet.

As an added bonus, the navigation bar I created adds a degree of empty space between the title and the body of text which in my opinion looks nicer. More than 1,000 people died from the virus on Thursday, the third time the daily death toll has exceeded that this month, and the death rate is expected to continue rising. Covid-19 claimed at least 926 more deaths as of Friday. When you are editing a story, even before publishing it, there is a slightly different url, which looks like this: In total, the United States has suffered 9 million cases of Covid-19 as of Friday, or nearly 3% of the population with nearly 229,000 deaths since the pandemic outbreak earlier this year, according to a Reuters report, October 31, 1996.Had a shadow-writer interviewed Mr. Alexander, gathered up the details of his life story, and then composed the book, a much better result would have resulted. The government’s response to this economic crisis has benefited large corporations and wealthy Americans, while leaving behind many disadvantaged communities and struggling small businesses,” the report said. Like, I literally feel my IQ go up while reading the book Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung BY Paul R. Alexander.

Chapter 2 of this book should be required reading for schools, as with this seeming to be Paul's most traumatic point in his life, he gives the most detailed and organized explanation of how torturous it was to get polio. The story that the title of the book is based on is also quite good! Contrary to popular belief Polio is not extinct. This is the true story of an indomitable spirit afflicted with unimaginable physical and psychological challenges.

Follow allbooks You might think this is totally inappropriate for Medium, and there are some shortcomings, but for me the biggest reason to attempt publishing this book here is the potential audience, and the availability that Medium affords me as a writer. Among the states hardest hit were the states most contested in the campaign between Republican President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, namely Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The downside to that is that such unlisted stories are unavailable for generating income through the Members program of Medium.While there are still many physical book readers — myself among them — the option to have a book on a mobile device is just such a no-brainer. And while Ebooks are good for large publishers who can (and do) command a nice bit of change for their product, for a small writer, ebooks don’t offer much of any benefit over what Medium provides. And in fact, the tools that Medium provides, which I mentioned above, are absent from ebooks. In the end, I give Mr. Alexander immense credit for his intense effort and determination to write his life story. Friday’s tally set the highest daily Covid-19 record in the US for the fifth time in 10 days, surpassing the previous day’s highest daily spike of 91,248 new cases. Reading about Mr. Alexander's life, you wish you could meet him. He did everything possible to expand his life beyond the limits of the iron lung, continuing his education and experiences as much as possible. He was fortunate to have amazing parents and siblings, as well as caregivers and friends along the way. Paul Alexander has the most remarkable spirit. Nothing, not even polio paralysis stopped him from living out his dreams. I admire his grit and tenacity to overcome as best as possible his severe physical limitations.
