If you were in the ER doing a residency and were about to go off shift with a major trauma coming in, and your relief resident came in smelling of alcohol, what would you do?

Although Indianapolis is nice, I am uncertain as to if I would like to live there for four years seeing as how I have become accustom to the mountains.

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers were very friendly. This was the second time interviewing with the school as the first time I was not accepted. On my first interview only one of the interviewers showed up and the one that did was only interested in filling out a form and not understanding who I was. The second time was much more eventful.
