I’ve noticed that in all newspaper accounts of this story there is no mention of a father for either of her children.

Just think folks. If you come to the hospital in extremis with a medical emergency, you might have to wait while you doctor pumps her breast milk. Wouldn't want her to have tender boobs while she's saving your life.
Maybe an even longer wait if she happens to be ovulating. She'll have to run home and copulate madly with her pathetic sperm donor.

Does she know what she has become?She doesn't care. She has an agenda, and it's not her children.

Geez, this woman already got special ‘dispensation’ to spread the test out over 2 days. I hope she flunks again.

Geez, this woman already got special dispensation to spread the test out over 2 days.She is strong. She is invincible. She is woman. And just as good as a man.
Except when she wants the rules to be different for her.

Okay guys, get all indignant. My wife breastfed all three of our wonderful children, and not being able to feed the baby on time, or express milk, was very painful.
A brief break for her to pump milk is on par with letting a student with impaired vision have a lighted magnifying glass, or providing some way for a student whose dominant hand is in a cast sit for the exam without having to write the answers, and far less disruptive of the examination process than either. Harvard Med was just doing what med schools everywhere do, trying to constrict artificially the supply of physicians to keep physician fees (and medical costs) up.

1)While her peers take the 9+ hour test in one day, this whiner takes it in two (ADHD/dyslexia)
2)The Board offered her a private room where she could pump while taking the 4 1/2 test (Over two days mind you)
3)The whiner already has failed this test with the two day advantage
4)The whiner cannot go 1 hour past her “scheduled” feeding (The whiner says she needs to pump every 3 1/2 hrs and takes 1 hour to do it)?
5)Women who have breastfed and taken this test (In one day mind you) have testified that the Board gave them plenty of time to pump while on normal break
I can go on but if you still think this whiner is not trying to game the system then all hope is lost on you.

Dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactive something or other. Plus she's a whining self centered twit. I hope she never has the opportunity to get her hands on any live patients. She was offered a residency in pathology. They don't usually work on the living ones, do they?
Te board was more than accommodating with the options she was offered.

read up on the facts of her case, the brief breaks are already built in and she gets WAY more accommodations than others already. she is seeking to heap accommodation upon accommodation in order to eke out a passing score.
