We never knew that our brief sidebar on Paras Naik1 would result in such a flood of correspondence about the age of Canada's youngest physician. However, we do remain convinced that when he graduated last spring, Naik was the country's youngest doctor. We are not disputing the fact that others may have graduated at a younger age in the past.
