BOSTON (AP) - A judge rejected a Harvard student's request Wednesday for extra break time during her nine-hour medical licensing exam so she could pump breast milk for her infant daughter. Sophie Currier, 33, sued after the National Board of Medical Examiners turned down her request to take more than the standard 45 minutes in breaks during the exam.  She said that if she does not nurse her 4-month-old daughter, Lea, or pump breast milk every two to three hours, she risks medical complications.  Currier has taken the test once already, in April when she was 8 1/2 months pregnant, but she failed by a few points. Currier has already received special accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act for dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, including being granted permission to take the test over two days instead of one.

I hate people like this.   Always looking to scam the system.  Maybe I would give this chick the benefit of the doubt if this is the first time she complained.   But how many times can you cry wolf?  She’s already scammed the system by capitalizing on dyslexia and ADHD.    I mean what’s next?  Why don’t we just let somebody else take the test for her?   What type of idiot company would ever hire somebody like this?   She’ll end up getting 366 vacation days a year because of wacky diseases and made up illnesses.   Give the baby a bottle of milk and let’s move on.  End of story.

UPDATE!!

Boston.com - Appeals Court Judge Gary Katzmann overturned that decision. “In order to put the petitioner on equal footing as the male and non-lactating female examinees, she must be provided with sufficient time to pump breast milk and to address the same physiological and other functions to which those examinees are able to attend,” he wrote.Currier, who has a 4-month-old daughter, originally planned to take the exam this week, but postponed it until October 4 in hopes of winning her appeal. She already has received permission from the board to take the test over two days instead of one, because she has dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The board also offered to allow her to bring a breast pump into the exam room and to provide her with a private room in which to express milk during breaks.

Are you shitting me?  How pathetic is this? This chick SUCKS!  I’m so pissed she’s not ugly.   What the fuck was this judge thinking?  Do you think she blew him?  Don’t laugh because that may be how she’s gotten this far in the first place.   Regardless, I’m sick and tired of this PC bullshit.  It’s ruining this country.  What’s the point of even making her take the test at this point?     Listen not everybody is cut out to be a doctor.  If you’re a dyslexic, ADHD suffering, lactating broad, a career in medicine probably isn’t for you.  It’s okay.   The world needs ditch diggers too.   

PS – I’d like to know what hospital would ever hire this lady to begin with.  Something tells me you don’t get a "do over " or get to sue for more time when you operate on the wrong arm and blame it on dyslexia.
