What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 1)?

"See above re: kidney transplant discussion" Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most interesting question?

"If you had a patient in jail who faced the choice of having a kidney transplant or being on dialysis for the rest of his life, what would you do? What if someone who was not incarcirated could use that same donor kidney, who should get it? Kidney transplant vs. dialysis has no difference in survival, only quality of life issue. Okay, so now what if I told you now that a kidney transplant is MUCH cheaper in the long run that dialysis, should the prisoner get it now?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
