Summary:
In the late 19th century, there wasn't much hope for premature babies-- until Dr.
Couney
developed the incubator. The device was so new and strange, hospitals rejected it. So Dr.
Couney
set up a sideshow at Coney Island, taking care of the tiniest newborns as part of a display to convince the public that incubators worked. Thousands of babies grew into healthy children as Boardwalk Babies, including Dr.
Couney
's own premature daughter. Many of those babies came back as adults to thank the doctor for his miracle cures. Science meets magic show in this fascinating true story.
