Flower and Fifth

The "Flower" was after a 19th-century Governor of New York, right? RahadyanS 05:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First Woman Physician

According to the United States National Library of Medicine/National Institutes of Health Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to graduate from a medical college in the United States (1849). See the following web page: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/changingthefaceofmedicine/physicians/biography_35.html

The statement in this article that Emily Stowe was the first woman to graduate from medical college in the US is therefore incorrect according to the previously cited authority. Also since Elizabeth Blackwell graduated from Geneva College in New York State it would not be correct to say that she was the first female MD to graduate in NY either. Perhaps a claim can be made for New York City or New York Medical College. Hochstein (talk) 23:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
