Scotland was not unique in producing young medical graduates [News and analysis]1, [Letter].2 To the credit mainly of my teachers in England, I also graduated from medical school 1 month after my 22nd birthday, in June 1943. Six months later I was a medical officer in the Royal Army Medical Corps, eventually bound for northwest Europe and the First Canadian Army. Perhaps my premature delivery into the medical world was not inappropriate, as I eventually became a neonatologist.
