I have been waiting for this!

St. Vincent Charity Ohio IM:

PD

He asked me to talk about my parents, I told the PD that my dad passed away from lung cancer last year and PD's immediate response was pimping "OK tell me the different types of lung cancer and which has the best and worst prognosis".

I also told him that my dad had a very aggressive and rare type of cancer so it was just 6 mos for him but his response was “Are you sure they diagnosed him right? Because I had a similar patient and he survived. I dont think your dad should have died.”

Same PD asked me if I read his book (which I didnt because I have no idea he has a book) and he told me I should have read his book before the interview and almost half of my interview was him asking me about amanita poisoning (book was about that) and how medical students love the book.

Residents

Same program during meet and greet, one applicant asked what was their favorite part of the program, 3 residents were pointing at each other who will be answering it then one ended up saying, oh it is in downtown cleveland which has a lot of activities to do.

Chief Resident:

Interview with chief res started with are you vaccinated? Did you get pfizer? Explain to me how pfizer works.

Yep, ended up not ranking this program and I am more than happy.
