We protest!

See response from: P. Sullivan
Paras Naik is a remarkable young man but he is not the youngest Canadian to hold a medical degree [News and Analysis].1 He may hold that honour in the year 2000, but not historically.

My father, Douglas J. Patchell, graduated from the University of Toronto in 1946 at age 20 and began practising in Hillsdale, Ont., at age 21. Bette Stephenson, a past president of the CMA, also graduated from medical school at age 20, if my memory serves.
