Sure, I wanna be treated by a doctor that went through medical school on an ADA scholarship.

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

What a pathetic creature she is.
Does she know what she has become?

[rockabyebaby]

This is bleepin’ pathetic,,,,woman up lady and handle things instead of asking for special favors....damn, I HATE these people that think the world revolves around them....DON’T get me started!

[CholeraJoe]

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.

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

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.

Why is this now the school’s problem? What a selfish idiot.

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.

[Fido969]

How do you know she wasn’t putting crib notes on her boob?

[gridlock]

This article does not say that she also got an extra 9 hours because she is dyslexic and additional breaks because of her ADHD. All told, this woman is getting about three days to take a one day test.

And she is still failing it.

Socialized medicine can’t come soon enough for this woman.

[Earthdweller]

"An appeals court cleared the way Friday for a Harvard student to receive extra break time during a lengthy medical licensing exam so she can pump breast milk for her infant daughter. "

Ahhh...isn't Harvard just a wee bit behind with this? Most places have been doing this since the seventies.

I wish there was a way to ID these special cases so that when you see one coming at you in ER or surgery, you can duck before they touch you.

I know ADA requires “reasonable accommodation” but when it comes to being certified or authorized in cases where people’s lives are directly at risk, I think the greater good must be considered.

Having an MD who needs extra time and special breaks is not “reasonable” to the rest of us.
