What pisses you off enough to say,"God damnit, if we could just do X, then this would be all better." And before you jump on me, this is not for a secondary application. I've filled out 20 of them and I haven't com across a question like this yet. However, I do know that interviewers like to ask this question, so I wanted to develop my problem and answer, or broaden my horizons as to the other perceived problems that med students have. Anyway, moving on!
I don't have enough experience to say with any great certainty, but I think it's the wide spread lack of health and psychology education (and overall motivation to get educated). I can't imagine how many little problems turn into big problems simply because people don't know/care enough about themselves to exercise a little, or to eat a fruit instead of a candy bar.
It's a pretty rampant problem and has no easy fix. I think that I have very healthy eating and exercise habits because of my mother and father's emphasis on them. I wonder what sort of effect this would have in one or two generations if every single parent told their kids the stuff about health that the feds were telling them to say--even if the parents didn't mean it. Maybe the kids would actually grow up a little healthier. Keep on going for 2 or 3 generations and we may get somewhere.
What's your biggest problem and solution?
