Ruling gives breast-feeding student extra break in exam
From Felicia Mello, Boston Globe September 27, 2007
"A state appeals court judge ruled yesterday in favor of a Harvard medical student who wanted extra time to pump breast milk during a licensing exam.
The woman, Sophie Currier of Brookline, argued that it would be uncomfortable and possibly pose a health problem if she took only the allowed breaks.
The National Board of Medical Examiners offered to let her pump while she took the test, but she said that would put her at a disadvantage during the exam, which she must pass to graduate and begin her residency at Massachusetts General Hospital."
