Do all secondaries have personal examples in them? Are there ever any successful secondaries that don't incorporate personal stories, such as the more theoretical prompts?
Theoretical, yes, but you must also back it up with things you have done and connect it with your hypothetical future roles.What about something like “what do you consider the role of a physician”?

When answering a question such as “what do you consider the role of the physician?”, at the outset, you may want to state your views on the issue. For example, you might say something like “the principal role of a physician is to care for patients, and this involves several competencies, including medical expertise, communicator, collaborator . . .” Thereafter, you can leverage these competencies to show why you would be a good fit for the school and what you have done to prepare. For example, I learned the importance of X competency when I . . . I have been developing X competency l through . . .
So really the prompt is “what is the role of a physician and what would make you a good doctor”?

You want to show that i) you understand what it takes to be a good doctor, ii) have what it takes to be a good doctor, and iii) have prepared to become a good doctor.
