"Older but vigorous lady comes down with cancer. She agrees to go through chemo, aware that it is going to be hell. She survives and tells her family and doctor that if she doesn't want to ever do it again, even if she relapses. A year later, she is back in the hospital and the doctor is hooking her up to machines to keep her alive, despite the protests of the family (who are present). As a doctor of the same level of authority as the other doctor, what do you do?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most interesting question?

"In rural areas of Indonesia, subsistence farming is the norm. Families often depend on an ox to provide for their livelihood; if the ox were to die, families usually don't have the resources to replace it since it costs $35, which is equivalent to $1,000,000 for us. Without the ox, at least one member of the family will certainly die. The only way to get this money is to sell your daughter to become a prostitute in the city. You are the father in this family, so what do you do?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
