Read the text and answer the questions: jill mathews has just graduated from medical school and is talking about her future. 'i haven't decided what to specialize in yet. i need more experience before i decide, but i'm quite attracted to the idea of paediatrics because i like working with children. i'd certainly prefer to work with children than, say, elderly patients - so i don't fancy geriatrics. i was never very interested in detailed anatomy, so the surgical specialties like neurosurgery don't really appeal. you have to be good with your hands, which i don't think is a problem for me - i've assisted at operations several times, and i've even done some minor ops by myself - but surgeons have to be able to do the same thing again and again without getting bored, like tying off cut arteries and so on. i don't think that would be a problem for me, but they need to make decisions fast and i'm not too good at that. i like to have time to think, which means surgery's probably not right for me.' has jill already decided what to specialize? what idea does she like the most? why? is she interested in geriatrics? why don’t surgical specialties appeal her? has she ever done operations herself? what do the surgeons have to be able to do? is it a problem for her to do the same things without getting bored? why isn’t surgery’s for her?
