You recently published an article regarding Paras Naik and reported that "at age 22 he will become the youngest Canadian to hold a medical degree" [News and Analysis].1

I wish to report that Pamela Veale graduated from the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine in 1993 at the age of 21. I am certain of these facts because I was a classmate of hers and am now her husband. By the way, another classmate of mine, Earl Campbell, obtained his MD at age 22.
