replies: text: Source? And one's religious beliefs, unless religion is their profession, is actually very not important for a basic biography. — raekyt 17:19, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

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)
