With The Wind
About
In this episode of Pediatric Perspectives, Dr. Paul is joined by Suzanne Humphries, M.D. for a detailed discussion on how modern medical systems prioritize policy and protocol over individualized clinical judgment.
Dr. Humphries recounts her experiences in internal medicine and nephrology that led her to question hospital vaccination practices, standing orders, and the absence of informed consent in inpatient settings. She explains how these experiences ultimately pushed her out of mainstream medicine and into independent research and public education.
Drawing on the historical analysis behind Dissolving Illusions (https://dissolvingillusions.com/), the conversation explores the difference between disease incidence and mortality, the role of fear in public health messaging, and why questioning medical orthodoxy often comes at a professional cost. Dr. Paul adds parallel observations from pediatrics and newborn care, highlighting similar systemic pressures.
