Why is medicine interesting for you?
What was the most interesting question?
Since I am older, the interviewer had my resume. She noticed that I had changed jobs every three years. She wanted to know why I thought medicine would hold my attention more than the other positions.
What was the most difficult question?
The "Jehovah's Witness" question... If a child was dying and needed a blood transfusion and the parents refused, what would you do? Typical.
