dec 27, 1926 - Iron Lung
Description:
Philip Drinker invents the first iron lung for patients with Polio. This was a vital step in disease research as it saved many lives of those patients affected by Polio. This invention has since been innovated, and although Polio doesn't exist anymore, we now have life support to help patients who can't breathe without assistance.Added to timeline:
