💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

(Scenario) You are a surgeon and have a patient who is a Jehovah's Witness. He needs you to remove an abdominal tumor to save his life, but he tells you that he tells you not to give him a blood transfusion because it will prevent him from going to Heaven. You know that, even if you are the best surgeon in the world, you may very well need to give him blood during the operation or he will die. How do you approach this situation? What if you are doing the surgery and he is bleeding to death on your operation table?

What was the most interesting question?

Sigmund Freud once said, ''Nationalism is an infantile complex.'' Analyze this statement. (The interviewer said that there was no right or wrong answer; he just wanted to see what I would say.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

What is your father's job and how long has he been doing it? (It wasn't really too hard, but just surprising, and it took me a few moments to think of how long the job was.)
