If you could meet anyone in the history of medicine, who would you choose and why?

"If I could meet anyone in the history of medicine, I would go back to the very beginning and meet Hippocrates. I find it fascinating that he was the first to believe that disease and death were not a result of the anger of the gods. I would ask him about that first conversation when he said that disease is not caused by superstitious beliefs. He would have had to have faced so many roadblocks, yet he continued to believe in his work."

This is more of a personal interest question, and you cannot give a wrong answer here. Think back to any of the founding fathers (and mothers!) of medicine and who has a story that resonates with you the most. It's often best to think about what they overcame and how you relate. As you answer, it's also a great idea to think of the most burning question you would have for that individual. Be sure to add passion to your answer so the interviewers can sense your interest.
