Episode 7: Martin Couney
Manage episode 441408091 series 3595379
I'm sure most people have never heard of Martin Couney, so we are bringing his story, and a little bit of ours, to the masses.
Born in what was German Prussia at the time, Martin's early life is not well known. For what ever reason he was very secretive about his early life.
But whatever he did in his early life, can not over shadow what he did later in life. After allegedly studying under a French OB, Martin set out to bring the use of incubators for premature babies to the states.
It would take over 20 years before people began using this method, and if it wasn't for Martin's passion, over 6500 babies could have lost their lives.
So during NICU Awareness month we want to thank the man who brought a life saving machine to the US. As parents of a preemie, we are forever grateful.
