19. She needs to get a doctor's note. Two of them.
One for going to the bathroom and one for eating lunch. Holding your urine weakens the bladder muscles. Not eating when you are hungry can lead to blackouts, nausea, vomiting, and fainting as a result of low blood sugar. Get the doctor to explain these in his note as to WHY she needs lunch breaks and potty breaks.

I once had to stand up and argue with a judge in a hearing to get a lunch break. I was a court reporter - the person that sits in front of the witness stand and bangs on a stenograph machine. I kept telling the judge that I needed to eat lunch. I said, "Would you like the name and phone number of my doctor?" and then he backed down.

Unfortunately, this judge acted like they can't run the courthouse without him, although he is retired now and the courthouse is still there.

He worked his court reporter to death. She was a good friend of mine and she died of respiratory failure at age 40.
