Some non-urology (but medical still) questions. And you can combine the responses however you want.

  1. Is becoming a MD in America still a matter of meritocracy? Or do you think it favors students with connections and means?

I've seen many MDs who come from medical families and I feel they have a huge "advantage" over working class students when applying for med school.

  1. Is getting the slots to the best residency / fellowship programs a matter of work performance or connections?

  2. What's your opinion on America's research prowess on urology today?

  3. What do you think of the direction America is headed in terms of medical access and costs of service? Should we remain optimistic?

  4. What's the best way for patients to prepare for their first visit to a specialist? I've visited docs armed with a one - page summary of my medical history and purpose of my visit and many of them barely look at it.

  5. Do you have a favorite Bollywood movie? :)
