I asked for insight on the DYK talk page because of the recent incorrect "first" hooks that have run. SL93 (talk) 21:40, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with "the first Indian female physician in Western medicine to have trained alongside men in India" is that's an open-ended set. Nowhere do we have an authoritative list of every physician who ever trained in India. I'd be less concerned about something based on "Grant Medical College's first female graduate" because at least there, somebody could enumerate every person who has graduated from that school and look at each one. I assume that's what Kavitha Rao did, or at least she based her statement on somebody who did. RoySmith (talk) 13:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
