THE BOY IN THE BUBBLE
American Experience, 2005
In his own time, many regarded David's 12-year odyssey inside his bubble as a triumph of technology. To others, it was a bizarre experiment that exemplified medical hubris. The Boy in the Bubble is a story of medical perseverance and personal tragedy. With firsthand recollections from David's mother and the doctors, nurses, therapists, and chaplain who cared for him, as well as those who were critical of the handling of his case, this program documents the life of a little boy who became a living experiment in the fight to cure a rare disease.
