What are your general comments?

One was nasty, the other was nice. My first interviewer disgreed with EVERYTHING I said. I suggested a solution to the numbers of uninsured and I suggested several ways to contain the avian flu epidemic. He disagreed with everything out right and continued to shoot me down for the whole hour. I stood my ground and finally asked him what HE would do. His answer did not make sense (stockpile vaccine?!). The second interview was just questions about my AMCAS application
