Hear USH member Dawn Raffel tell this extraordinary tale of how a mysterious immigrant "doctor" became the revolutionary innovator of saving premature babies -- by placing them in incubators in World's Fair side shows and on Coney Island and Atlantic City. How this turn of the century Jewish emigre became the savior to families with premature infants is one of the most astounding stories of modern medicine.
