A polio drama (circa 1940s) focusing on symptoms, illness, and eradication efforts from the Sister Elizabeth Kenny Foundation.
An announcer breathlessly warns that "infantile paralysis can strike anyone anyplace anytime without regard to race-creed-color-or-income bracket!" Yes, this could be you!
An undated series of radio dramas depicting the patients who have found successful treatment of polio at the Sister Elizabeth Kenny Rehabilitation Institute. In addition are interviews with real patients and fundraising programs. Today, polio is near eradicated thanks to effective vaccine programs in the majority of the world. And even though it's nearly impossible that your headache is anything but a little dehydration or allergies, trust me, do not Google the symptoms for "infantile paralysis."
