What are your general comments?

my interviewer met with me in between seeing patients, so even before i was able to close the door and sit down, she started firing questions at me. i was a little bit shocked at first, but forced myself to keep on going. she seemed very pragmatic and basically went down her list of questions and wrote down my answers as i responded. it was quite difficult to judge her reactions, since she wasn't even really looking at me. but the questions were fair and nothing was out of the blue. after she finished asking me what seemed like the required questions, she became more conversational and we chatted about her med school experience, the architecture of the stony brook medical ctr, as well as other harmless random things.
