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.
