Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

You've diagnosed me with the disease you're studying (I work in a clinical lab). What do you tell me? I started to stumble on this one, so I deferred to the interviewer which started an interesting conversation on what people do tell patients who have new diagnoses.

What was the most difficult question?

How would you solve the insurance crisis? I stumbled on this one, but now I feel more confident for future interviews. I guess if there were easy answers, there wouldn't be a crisis.
