an interview

Yesterday, I was having the usual Saturday morning breakfast with my brother. He was in a very good mood and somewhat talkative.  We were discussing the idea of whether he should assume a leadership role in the nursing home's current events discussion group.  (Apparently most of the people who attend the group fall asleep in the middle of it.)  While we were discussing it, he mentioned another patient who goes around and interviews other patients, I"m not sure to what end.

When he interviewed my brother, he asked him when did he have his stroke.  There was silence on my end.  Then I asked my brother, "what did you say"?  (It's true that my brother has had a stroke, but he fully recovered from it and it's not the reason he is in a nursing home.)  He replied that he just avoided answering the question, which I thought was pretty smart.
