Story from 2014 I think.
Was in a neonatal conference in Ahemdabad when a consultant from Canada was delivering a lecture on neonatal therapeutic hypothermia. In response to some question he gave an answer that was not consistent with available evidence at that time. 1/n

I was shocked and was not sure whether I should counter since he was an invited speaker. As I was debating with myself one young pediatrician (post DCh - vadodara and neo fellowship) got up and quoted figures from studies and told him point blank that he was wrong. 2/n
Eerie silence ensued and the chairperson tided over it saying (we can discuss in break) and that was it. Felt quite proud that a young student was able to say something which many would hesitate to do (I would hesitate even today). 3/n
Also a good time to remember that Insulin was discovered by a duo (one was a MBBS student).
Also Dnyaneshwari was written by a 16 year old.
And most maths geniuses do their best work by the time they are 25 years.
For the old, Ford and MacDonald can be a inspiration.
4/n End.
