Mother Teresa denied patients in her Homes for the Dying painkillers. One could “hear the screams of people without pain relief.” On principal, strong painkillers were not even administered in severe cases as, according to Mother Teresa’s philosophy, it is “the most beautiful gift for a person that can participate in the suffering of Christ.” Well, the person suffering may beg to differ.
The doctors observed a significant lack of hygiene, even unfit conditions, as well as a shortage of actual care, inadequate food, and no painkillers. The problem is not a lack of money—the Foundation created by Mother Teresa has raised hundreds of millions of dollars—but rather a particular conception of suffering and death: “There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ’s Passion. The world gains much from their suffering,” was her reply to criticism, cites the journalist Christopher Hitchens. Nevertheless, when Mother Teresa required palliative care, she received it in a modern American hospital.
