Debate about our youngest doctor continues
CMAJ 2001;164(1):15 [PDF]

See response from: P. Sullivan

My fellow Celts, the Scots, have in the past laid claim to the invention of 2 well-known Irish contributions to the human condition, whiskey and the bagpipes. To be fair, we Irish did produce the latter as a joke. To the Scots must go credit for learning how to play the thing. But now the Caledonians lay claim to being the source of Canada's youngest physician [News and analysis].1 My graduation from Queen's University of Belfast in 1964 also occurred at the tender age of 22.
