A transparent toilet bowl?

Sorry for my attempt at a catchy title but this is about transparency during job interviews. As a nurse, I have this pressure to be on top of my health. That I shouldn't have medical issues at all. But I do and I don't know if I should tell potential employers that I have back problems least of all. And the reason I applied for this certain role is because it will not aggravate my health problems. Instead, I blabber on about how this fits my qualifications, interest, passion and I love how the role is unique and specialized. And it feels so fake it leaves a funny taste in the mouth.
How transparent are you when it comes to job interviews?
What can you say about transparent toilet bowls? Where you can actually see through it and see your crap or somebody else's? Must be fun watching it flush.

I like my privacy and I don't want people peeking into my personal life. I had only done three job interviews in my entire life and all were a success. One, was in a mock interview back when I was in college and I won in that competition. Two was when I applied for my very first job and I got in. Three was when I went to Bangkok and I applied as a foreign language teacher and got the job as well. I had nothing to hide so as to affect my job that time and.i remember telling the interviewer that I'm not the most honest person in the world and I tell them that I have never lied my entire life, that would be lying! I think that's why I got accepted in those jobs.

I, on the other hand, have learned to memorize some of the answers to common interview questions that I simply repeat myself.
So are you currently in Bangkok?

I don't think anyone's asked heavy personal questions. But some questions like, "what are your weaknesses". I could go on and on about that question. About how I have zero confidence, that I hate public speaking, that I hate condescending bosses, etc etc etc. Things you actually can't say.
