Interview Questions for Physician
Captain Americal, MD
Detroit Michigan
1.) How have you been involved in better understanding and/or helping people in relation to their respiratory system? What have you accomplished with new discoveries?
“So, two parts, about how I learn about it, learning about others. The basic things we learned in grade school and high school still apply. You see the similar topics in college, with physics and biology. You learn about the tissues of the lung and the cell structure. I’m a doctor, but I specialize in emergency medicine.
2.) If you could tell me one major fact about the respiratory system, something that should always stick with me, what would it be, and why would it be so important?
“You have to remember the heart works in close relations with the respiratory system. The oxygen goes to your blood which takes it to the rest of your body.”
3.) What can you tell me to improve the health and function within my respiratory system? How does it improve it, and how will it help my respiratory system thrive?
“I would just start with things like avoiding things like smoking, avoiding smoking indoors, or around people, which causes inflammation of the lungs. It causes asthma attacks, and pollution in the air, the triggers that cause problems in the lungs that make problems worse.
4.) What can you tell me about your experiences with the respiratory system as a physician? What is the main problem that you see in people with respiratory issues?
“We see a lot of COPD, where your lungs get inflamed over time, due to smoking. Be aware of yourselves problems if you have asthma, like avoiding cold or warm weather.
5.) When you get people coming to you with damaged lungs who need sorts of therapy, what do you tell them to do?
“So, again, avoid the triggers, stop smoking, a consistent theme. Lots of things show that you can stop the worsening of the lungs without smoking. A patient has to know what is wrong with them to use their prescription correctly.
Interview Questions for Professional Athlete
Micah Savin
San Marcos, California
Professional Ballerina
1.) What can you tell us about improving performance within your sport? What has been the most important thing to remember for you?
“To make real progress, training becomes a lifestyle, instead of a time slot. This ranges from appropriate footwear during the day to frequent physical therapy sessions for upkeep. These things become routine in your day to day life. “
2.) How has your respiratory issue affected your sportsman life? What has it done to change the way you perform your sport?
“My stamina has always been my largest weakness due to my asthma. This was most expressed when we did altitude training before our international tours, during which my doctors prescribed me an additional inhalant.”
3) Do you think that your sport has improved your bodies health or made it worse? If it improved your health, how did you notice it affecting you? If your health has declined, how did you notice and overcome it?
“Dance requires an extreme amount of physical resilience which does increase stamina. This was noticeable in the rate and duration of my breath. Dancing also leads to a degeneration of the joints. Being a professional athlete does take a large toll on the body.”
4) What can you tell me to improve the health and function within my own system? Have you ever needed to improve your own system?
“A diverse diet and exercise regimen is key to a healthy lifestyle. My own secret is drinking my water with water, lemon, and ginger- it reduces inflammation. I also recommend glucosamine as a preventative measure.”
5) Do you have any medical conditions that have affected you as an athlete? If so, how have you overcome them? How did you discover them, and what was the attitude you needed?
“I have asthma, but by continuing to train and build my stamina I was able to come over it. CONSTANT VIGILANCE."
