Why do you want to be a doctor? Why UW?

What was the most interesting question?

I was given a question where I was asked to role play being a doctor to a family that came in. Basically, the wife (who was not present) was pregnant and wanted and abortion. The rest of the family (the grandparents and the husband, who were present) didn't want and abortion. They came to me to ask what I could do. What was tough is that I actually had to play a doctor instead of just answering a question.

What was the most difficult question?

Same as the most interesting question.
