💬 Interview Questions
What was the most interesting question?
You have a patient who needs a minor surgery. She also happens to be a Jehovah's witness and has said specifically that she won't take blood transfusions. You assure her she won't need one. It turns out there are complications and unless she gets a transfusion she will die. Do you give her a transfusion?
What was the most difficult question?
Why do you want to be a doctor? (For some reason I had a hard time answering it today.)

What are your general comments?
I had an interview in the morning so first I came in and got it out of hte way. Dr. Dubin was really sweet and although he asked a lot of questions he didn't make me feel like I was under a lot of pressure. Next came an information session which was pretty boring--I wish they hadn't used powerpoint and instead had actually shown us the hospital (although this would have been difficult considering it's not next to the school). Next was a financial aid information session which was pretty dull. The tour was the only worthwhile part of the post-interview part of the day. Seeing the faciltiies gave me a better feel for the place.
