It explores his early years, education, and the social and intellectual environment that shaped him, setting the stage for his significant medical advancements. The opening of the book details Simpson's birth and childhood in Bathgate, Scotland, highlighting the prevailing medical practices of the time, which were still shrouded in superstition and rudimentary understanding.
