An appeals judge in Massachusetts  has decided that a med student at havard should get more time  for breaks during  a clinical exam to pump breast milk.

Sophie Currier has said she needs an additional hour of breaks during the 2 day test. The judge agreed that the given 45 minutes was not enough for her.

The judge said the limited break forced a hard choice on the student. She could skip things liek using the restroom, and cause heself discomfort by not taking care of things like urination, or manage her body functions and not pump her breasts causing herself pain.

Either decision would put her at a disadvantage.
The school plans to appeal.
