Episode Description
This week on Dr. Simpson Unfiltered, I take a hard look at what medicine is — and what it isn’t. From the Peter Attia controversy and the responsibilities that come with medical training, to measles outbreaks threatening U.S. elimination status, pediatric vaccine failures, and why men develop heart disease years earlier than women, this episode is about duty, humility, and trust. Medicine isn’t built on personalities or shortcuts — it’s built on protecting patients, especially children, and making small, evidence-based steps forward that actually save lives.
