What are your general comments?

The interviewer decided not to ask me anything related to healthcare, except a questions or two, and nothing about myself, except a question or two. We spent about 45/60 minutes talking about things that had nothing to do with me, with medicine, or anything else. I felt like he was quizing me on my knowledge of ver specific random things, most of which, I did not know, nor had I prepared for.
