I've always been able to work on several things at once, I never thought of multitasking as a difficult human skill, and I think the first time I've heard the word was back in my Amiga days with 'multitasking'.

For example, as I type this post, I have 3 patients being worked on, and I know what each one is doing and when I will be required next. At times I may have 5 patients being worked on, a consultation, and someone waiting on the phone to talk to me. This is not an uncommon thing just a normal day about 3pm. While writing this I went out and took photos on one person, explained their treatment to another and talked about the opera she is singing in, and gave a final check to a third. I would think that would fall under multitasking.

A couple of years ago I was watching a very well done show on human development and they said that women are 'multitaskers' and males are single taskers. I had never heard this and because I think of myself as a good multitasker I thought 'bullshit'. Since this show I've heard it mentioned more often, perhaps in relation to some research that got to the mainstream, perhaps from that show, who knows but its out there as one of those things that 'they' say.

I know some women who are very good multitaskers and some who are not, I know some men who are and who are not, I've just never seen a difference. So my question is, in your experiance is this a reality or is it just a myth?
