'the legend of her homes for the dying has moved the world to tears. reality, however, is scandalous: in the overcrowded and primitive little homes, many patients have to share a bed with others. though there are many suffering from tuberculosis, aids and other highly infectious illnesses, hygiene is no concern. the patients are treated with good words and insufficient (sometimes outdated) medicines, applied with old needles, washed in lukewarm water. one can hear the screams of people having maggots tweezered from their open wounds without pain relief. on principle, strong painkillers are even in hard cases not given. according to mother teresa's bizarre philosophy, it is "the most beautiful gift for a person that he can participate in the sufferings of christ". once she tried to comfort a screaming sufferer: "you are suffering, that means jesus is kissing you!" the man got furious and screamed back: "then tell your jesus to stop kissing."'
