The first thing we have to do is kill all the lawyers.-Sheakspeare said something like that. I have no personal opinion on this, of course.

She sounds like the type that is pushing the boundaries just because she can. I'm sure there have been nursing mothers that have taken the test before without any medical consequences.

Hard to tell, since it requires registration to see what its all about...

Oh yeah, because she has ADHD and is lactating and thus requires more time she is "cheating". I guess if you had lupus and depression your employer should fire you for poor performance.

I thought the same thing at first but then realized something... Damn she's pushed through alot apparently! I'm not sure if it's inspirational or what but she is definately working hard.

Now I'm wondering... she's probably going to be doing residency (80 hour weeks) so what is she going to do then?

Word of the day is "imagine"


I could only "imagine" how she is in life.

If she is a HMW she will find some item to sue!

Good for her...and good for Judge Katzmann for reversing the earlier decision that wouldn't allow her the extra time. I watched my wife go thru some major hassle and pain when breast pumping. Her employer at the time, had no wellness room so she had to do it in the bathroom and only during her break...utterly ridiculous! These women are mothers and should be treated with dignity and respect!!!

Now, everyone...go call your mom or give her a hug. She deserves it!

Presumbly when this woman becomes a hospital intern/resident, she'll request extra time between calls in order to be in "equal footing with men and non-lactating women"

People don't choose to have SLE or depression, but people choose to get pregnant and breastfeed.

Theres a significant difference between a rigidly controlled enviroment like a exam situation and the normal working enviroment.

If anything the normal working environment is more lenient, and the management is more likely to bend to unreasonable requests, especially if the one who complains makes herself a nuisance.
