The PedsDocTalk Podcast: Child Health, Development & Parenting—From a Pediatrician Mom

The Follow-Up: Vaccines, Trust, and Pediatric Care Across Continents


Listen Later

In this special “East Meets West” follow-up, I sit down with an inspiring pediatrician from India to explore how different cultures approach vaccines, public health, and the doctor-patient relationship.


We talk about:

  • Vaccine acceptance in India vs. the U.S.
  • How trust and education impact vaccine decisions
  • What India’s polio success story can teach us
  • The power of gratitude and connection in medicine
  • Why kindness matters just as much as science

  • This is more than a conversation about medicine — it’s a shared love letter to the families we care for, and a reminder that compassion, respect, and a simple “thank you” can cross any border.


    Whether you're a parent, pediatrician, or just curious about how different systems work, this episode will leave you with hope and a deeper appreciation for the healing power of human connection.
