💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🍼🔬 In the early #1900s, an obstetrician ran a #ConeyIsland sideshow called the "child hatchery" where visitors paid to see premie #babies in glass #incubators – because no hospital in #NewYorkCity would care for them.
Over four decades, the doctor cared for about 8,000 #infants, and his sideshow proved incubators worked, eventually pushing hospitals to adopt the #technology that remains standard in NICUs today.
