a number of questions from both interviewers about my current(non-medical) occupation and how that could give some indication of my capabilities as a doctor.

none were difficult, but they were phrased so that none of my nifty, pre-planned, medi-clone answers would work. i actually had to think. how dare they! both were very skilled at interviewing.
