Nursing Doctors

A mother with a four-year-old infant is suing the National Board of Medical Examiners to force them to allow her to take long enough breaks during "the Boards", required to become a doctor, so she can "express" breast milk through a pump for her baby.

Is the ability to work for 9 hours with only 45 minutes of break (the current structure of each day of the two day exam) a BFOQ of being a doctor? Let's ask some residents how much break time they get.
