Simpson was a devout Christian which is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.153.187.119 (talk) 00:44, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Source? And one's religious beliefs, unless religion is their profession, is actually very not important for a basic biography. — raeky  t  17:19, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Puerperal infections and antiseptics
"(...) like Semmelweis, fought against the contagion of puerperal sepsis.".

How did he fought against the contagion of puerperal sepsis? Do you have a source for this? From what I read in "The Century of the Surgeon" by Jürgen Thorwald, Simpson was fighting Joseph Lister who discovered Antiseptics - "used his professional stature to ridicule Lister's [antiseptic] method as a hoax" (http://www.victorianweb.org/science/health/simpson.html).

A lot of woman might die because self-important James Simpson was challenging use of antiseptics.

I would say that James Simpson contributed to the contagion of puerperal sepsis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Woru87 (talk • contribs) 09:14, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

A niece's memories
Hardly notable, but some may find these recollections of his niece Helen Young Simpson (c. 1836 – 10 April 1920) interesting. Doug butler (talk) 03:32, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Joseph Lister
No mention of interaction with Lister.  scope_creep Talk  13:04, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Should Religion/Religious Views be given its own [sub] section?
Provided that the section on Simpson's religion is long enough, should it have its own section/subsection? Spodogo (talk) 20:48, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
