People often have other distractions (as Artegal pointed out) that take them away from doing their jobs. If we're going to allow mothers in the workforce then it makes sense to compensate for their special needs, provided they can do an effective job. I don't think a lactating mother is liability to company at all.

We're talking about an upcoming residency issue, which imo should not call for any special treatment. Those residents battle a grueling schedule. Why is it like that? Well who really knows...but if that is the system that makes doctors....well, sorry...should she do that, she would be setting the feminist movement back loads by possibly asking for preferential treatment..

Can you see Demi Moore in GI Jane asking her DI for time to change her maxipad? :lol:

I don't begrudge anyone working, and I believe that this woman has made hellacious accomplishments....perhaps she didn't manage her family plan all that great though. I'm a firm believer in either being the ultimate career woman or the ultimate mom....but you cannot be both at the same time without something falling short. I admire this lady's efforts to 'have it all'...but the medical indoctrination (get it? har! har!) should not have to be revamped for individuals to get it molded around their convenience.

You don't find her devotion to her child admirable? :unsure:

I find it a little sickening, actually...since she's already gotten preferential treatment by having the testing over 2 days. Now, that's not good enough either.

She's using her kid as an excuse...and if a parent....READ, non gender specific...wants to join the workforce, then leave the kid excuses at the door. Sure, the kids will be sick and then there are the school things and all that other jazz....but if you're going to be a professional, then be able to handle the tasks of that profession without wah wahing all the way up to the supreme court.

I could care less about her devotion to her kid. That's between her and her kid and no one else. But she should be able to stand with the rest of her colleagues by being treated equally.
