QUESTION 11 OF 40

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

This is more of a personal interest question, making it tough to give a wrong answer. Think back to any of the 'founding fathers' (and mothers!) of medicine and choose who has a story that resonates with you the most. 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 genuine interest.

"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 person ever to believe that disease and death were not a result of the anger of gods. I would ask him what that first conversation sounded like when he first said to others 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."

It does not matter who you choose, since this is a personal question. However, be sure to answer the entire question and explain why you chose that person.
