How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was positive. My interviewer seemed to not listen to my answers to his questions because he kept asking me to explain everything further, even when I initially gave very detailed answers. But he didn't try to stress me out and asked basic questions.

What was the most difficult question?

Suppose you have a patient with bacterial meningitis that can only be treated with penicillin. If you don't treat him within the next 12 hours, he will die. But you call his parents and they say that you can treat him as long as you don't give him penicillin because he is severely allergic. What do you do?

The tour--it lasted barely 20 minutes and we didn't even get to see their hospital.
