"Is healthcare a right or a privilege?"

"One interview totally involved ethics-based scenarios. For instance, you see an elderly woman outside the hospital, she's wearing a gown, and seems disorientated. What do you do? My interviewer was very receptive but appreciated me using key words or details. In this case, an important detail is trying to get information from the wrist tag typically given to hospital patients in order to try and figure out where the patient should go. In another scenario where a worried wife calls you (the doctor) and asks for her husband's exam results, a key word/concept would be HIPAA. Of course, I think equally or more important than this is being able to describe your approach, reasoning, and the ethical principles that are implicated."
