-Titulo Original : The Strange Case Of Dr. Couney How A Mysterious European Showman Saved Thousands Of American Babies
-Fabricante :

-Descripcion Original:
“A mosaic mystery told in vignettes, cliffhangers, curious asides, and some surreal plot twists as Raffel investigates the secrets of the man who changed infant care in America.”-NPR, 2018s Great Reads What kind of doctor puts his patients on display? This is the spellbinding tale of a mysterious Coney Island doctor who revolutionized neonatal care more than one hundred years ago and saved some seven thousand babies. Dr. Martin Couneys story is a kaleidoscopic ride through the intersection of ebullient entrepreneurship, enlightened pediatric care, and the wild culture of worlds fairs at the beginning of the American Century. As Dawn Raffel recounts, Dr. Couney used incubators and careful nursing to keep previously doomed infants alive, while displaying these babies alongside sword swallowers, bearded ladies, and burlesque shows at Coney Island, Atlantic City, and venues across the nation. How this turn-of-the-twentieth-century emigre became the savior to families with premature infants-known then as “weaklings”-as he ignored the scorn of the medical establishment and fought the rising popularity of eugenics is one of the most astounding stories of modern medicine. Dr. Couney, for all his entrepreneurial gusto, is a surprisingly appealing character, someone who genuinely cared for the well-being of his tiny patients. But he had something to hide... Drawing on historical documents, original reportage, and interviews with surviving patients, Dawn Raffel tells the marvelously eccentric story of Couneys mysterious carnival career, his larger-than-life personality, and his unprecedented success as the savior of the fragile wonders that are tiny, tiny babies.

The books title is no hype; this is a startling account of an improbable huckster who made his living promoting a lifesaving device.-Kirkus ReviewsWith fantastic detail, Raffel brings to life this complicated pioneer. -Real SimpleThis is a fascinating story about a showman doctor who was able to save babies by putting them on display in incubators as a sideshow attraction.
