...dyslexic physician...

Sounds like she's pretty close to the theoretical "blind jeweler."

and midget basketball player. No doubt she filled a host of special interest quotas by her acceptance into med school.

And where is she going to dump the kids when she has to go to work every day?

Considering she claims to have ADHD she will probably just leave them in the car.

[sarasmom]

I have zero sympathy for her.
She already got “special accommodations” to spread the test out over two days.

I wonder how many of the other people who take that exam would have chosen that “option” for any number of their own personal reasons?

I wouldn’t want anyone who demands such ridiculous “special treatment” in my office workplace, much less in a medical facility!

BTW, I breastfed and worked.

[NautiNurse]

I was noticing that baby looks really undernourished.

She is dyslexic. Maybe she has trouble figuring out which breast she should use. :::nurse chuckles:::

LOL, oh you are nauti!!

[NautiNurse]

;o) p.s. Your twin grandsons are adorable!

[PinkDolphin]

My babies. (happy sigh)

Thank you

[QQQQ]

Looks like a chimp.

[television is just wrong]

she wants special treatment for being a female with child.

[SunkenCiv]

Outrageous! Next, Harvard will deny entry to exams by Moslem women wearing face coverings, just because there’s no way to verify their identities!!! /sarc See message 3.

is that sign a joke?

[the invisib1e hand]

well, some would say that there is really only one way to judge the merits of the argument...

[SkyPilot]

That smashed windshield isn’t something she did.........yet.

[Heartland Mom]

The standard 45 minute breaks are more than sufficient. She is clearly trying to take advantage of every opportunity - real or imagined - to get preferential treatment. If she can’t manage to take the test with all the special accommodations she has already been given, how on earth will she manage to juggle being a working mom? Enough already.

Hyperactivity, grown up

Sophie Currier made it through MIT — brilliantly — in part because the school paid other students to read books to her and share their class notes. By the time she was in graduate school, MIT provided computers that scanned books and read them aloud; she was also allowed extra time on exams...

manipulating parasite - she'll want to wear a hijab next!

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!

NO more calls, please.

We have a winner!

Cheers!

That sums it up nicely.

Dear Former:

Hey, hey, back off the innocent baby! She might be a freak, but the kid is a sweet little innocent who deserves prayers, not derision.

Plenty of kids go through phases. My eldest son alternated between totally adorable to "what happened to your face?" for the first year of his life. He grew in spurts, and his face would change while he grew. Thankfully, when it all stopped, he was back to adorable again...and will one day be a very handsome young man.

Let's hope this little one turns out better than the mother.

[TheWriterTX]

The mother, yes; the baby, no.

[TheWriterTX]

OMG, she does look like Art Carney!
