Court denies new mom extra breastfeeding time during medical licensing test
Medical student and professional whiner and entitlement seeker, Sophie Currier sued to make sure she is found exceptional because she breastfeeds. She wanted the board to allow her extra break times so that she can nurse her baby. The student is already granted allowances under the disability act because she has ADHD and learning disabilities, so she gets to take the exam over 2 days, instead of the 9 hour requirement.
Truthfully, a doctor needing this many allowances to get their license, makes me a little nervous. Lucky for us she’s wanting to go into research and not surgery.
BOSTON: A new mother cannot have extra break time during her nine-hour medical licensing exam so she can pump breast milk to feed her 4-month-old daughter, a judge ruled Wednesday.
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 daughter, Lea, or pump breast milk every two to three hours, she risks medical complications.
