Pop in a Quarter, Knock Yourself Out

Breathe in, Read, Breathe out.

May 04, 2005

just came back from the medical interview. man oh man, were they demanding.

the first one was the scariest and the thougher one of the two.
so i'll talk about the second one first.

it was not that bad.
questions that were directed were easily answered. they asked stuff like:
"do you feel that you are at a disadvantage since you are from TPJC compared to the rest who are from more prestigious colleges?"
"what makes you think you'll make a good doctor?"

basically i had to put a price tag to my head and the value had better be astronomical. even though it was disturbing to actually sell yourself, i managed.

the first one was... well... i'll just get straight into it.

i mentioned that i had interest in paediatrics, and so this evil doctor gave me this weird scenario:
"supposing you had a child come in that had been in an accident. however she is a jehovah's witness and is against blood transfusion. her parent would rather have her die and go to heaven than to go through a transfusion. what would you do?"

i was freking stumped for a few seconds.

i told them i would argue for it and make them face the harsh reality that their daughter would freaking die, those bitches.
but other than that, if i cant force them into making her have one and if they are adamant, i cant do anything about it now can i? i cant disrespect thier religion.

it was a tough question and a horrible situation to be put in, and horrifyingly, stuff like that happens in singapore.

i didnt know if the answer was appropriate (i had the feeling that it wasnt the best one though) but i have tried my best and well, now i have to play the age old waiting game with the lot of them.

tick tock.
