The Strange Case Of Dr. Couney by Burton Raffel

A lively biography of an eccentric showman who, operating outside the medical establishment, displayed premature infants in public incubator exhibits at fairs and amusement parks to fund and provide life-saving care; the book traces his unlikely career, the mix of spectacle and genuine medical innovation that saved many babies, the mysteries about his credentials and methods, and the ethical and cultural tensions his work exposed as modern neonatal care emerged.
