Marjan Jahangiri, originally from Iran, is one of the only women professors of cardiac surgery in Europe. She does more than 300 operations a year. She lives in London with her husband and their 17-year-old son, Darius. Can you describe your daily routine? I get up between 6.00 and 6.30 a.m., I get to work at 7.00, and my meetings usually start at 7.30. After that, I don't have a break. Ihave lunch at my desk. l often do two operations a day, and l also have lectures and more meetings. At home, I have dinner with my son. Between 9.30 and 11.30 p.m., I do research and I watch the news on TV. One or two nights a week I'm on call, so I probably need to do operations during the night. I often work at weekends, too. But that's OK - I think I have a fantastic life because I love my work. How do you balance work with your family life? I spend a lot of time with my son. I want him to learn about hard work and good values, and I want to be an example for him. My husband is away a lot, but we speak on the phone every day. I think one reason why l am successful in my professional life is because he isn't at home all the time! What do you do to relax? I play the piano for an hour every day, late at night. I think it helps me with my operations - it's technical in the same way. I also go to the hairdresser twice a week. I do a lot of my research there! They turn the music off for me and I use the time to read all my academic papers. Answer the questions based on the text 1. What time does Marijan get up? 2. What does she do when she is at work? 3.
