"Yes, I work very well under pressure. When faced with a high-pressure situation, I find that I need to take a deep breath to calm myself and focus on the situation in front of me. I realize the importance of working under pressure in this profession and have proven that I respond well. While I was completing my internship, I was assisting a surgeon who was performing a hip replacement. Suddenly, the patient started hemorrhaging from a nick in their artery, and their blood pressure dropped. Without being told what to do, I grabbed some sterile sheets and applied pressure to the patient's artery to slow the bleeding. The surgeon was able to suture the artery and stop the bleeding quickly. He said I was very helpful and quick-thinking to apply pressure and that it helped save the patient's life."
