What was the most interesting question?

If given $15 million dollars to promote healthcare in your community, how would you go about constructing a plan to use that money, and what would you do?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

In the clinic you work in, how do the doctors maintain their work-life balance? Have you spoken to them about it? (this was a follow up to a question i was asked about future challenges, and I said work-life balance. It was difficult because the docs I work with don't struggle so much with work-life balance, they seem to know their boundaries. Just caught me off guard a little).
