What was the most difficult question?

We had a part of the interview where we had to write an answer to a prompt in one of those bluebooks they provided us. I had not written essays by hand in years so it was a little stressful because my hand was cramping up lol but thequestion was not too bad, it was something like do you think physicians should be held to a higher standard of their own health by not having them smoke etc and isay the rate determining step to this was not finding an answer to the question but rather just writing it all down by hand
