PS to my last post: I can't find where Teresa's missionaries contacted the
missionaries who were fully qualified doctors who had proper facilities, yet
Teresa' missions regularly took in people with serious medical problems. Every
description is either a complaint of the circumstances (higher likelihood of
suffering and even death) or a tribute to Teresa.

I read the recommended article. Again, this is something I've only done a
little research about, so I'm learning as I go along.Daya Dan, the care center that the article says is getting some overdue im-
provements for challenged children, was founded in 1998, a year after Theresa
died, so that's doesn't pertain to Theresa or earlier policies. The article
reaffirms one thing I thought was probably true:"'We should remember that Mother Teresa was clear that Missionaries of Charity
was not operating a hospital. The homes are to serve the poor and give them the
basic needs,' says Sunita Kumar, wife of former India Davis Cup coach Naresh
Kumar and one who has been working with Missionaries’ sisters for over four
decades."
http://forbesindia.com/article/on-assignment/mother-teresas-legacy-is-under-a-cloud/15932/0?id=15932&pg=0That sounds like a Salvation Army post to me.
I'm still not clear what the obligation is for the group to have been more
than that--a place for temp. shelter, bath, and food. So I can imagine the
haphazard efforts of those not trained in medical care, or not giving it, if en-
countering something drastic, same as at a Salvation Army post, or such efforts
in a transition period if they've tried to become more since Theresa's time.“What stops them from starting a hospital? Surely, money is not a problem,”
asks Aroup Chatterjee, a London-based critic of Missionaries of Charity.Isn't that like asking why a Salvation Army post doesn't become a hospital?
We generally don't hear complaints that they aren't.The same Catholics already have missionaries trained for medical work (see the
links in an earlier post). What I'd still like to see these articles explain is
the policy of relationship between the simpler outposts and the Catholic groups
with missionaries trained as doctors to diagnose and treat patients. -

How do you deny medical care if it isn't what you offer in the first place?
The negative spin on that, combined with her outlook of looking for the silver
lining in suffering, seems to be combined in a rumor of her sadistically wanting
people to not go to the Catholic groups who provided medical attention, then
editorials get batted back and forth. "Denial of providing medical care" may
also leave out a recommendation to be taken to one of the Catholic medical mis-
sions (see the links below). I don't know proof one way or the other, but I
can't think of any reason to assume they'd keep their fellow workers a secret.Catholic medical missions:

"But primary health care is not what Mother Teresa’s order was founded to
do. There are hundreds of Catholic medical orders which generously fill that
need (the Medical Missionaries of Mary, who operate overseas, and the
Daughters of Charity, who have for decades run numerous hospitals in this
country, to name but two). Rather, the charism of the Missionaries of Charity
(with whom I have worked) is, quite specifically, to provide solace to the
very many poor patients who would otherwise die alone."
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/1996/sep/19/in-defense-of-mother-teresa/"And so far, this much seems to have been undeniable: that Mother Teresa
and her Sisters do pick up the poor from the pavements of Calcutta, give them
shelter, food to eat and, if need be, the possibility of a dignified death."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8w81qOc5nUI don't claim a lot of research on it, but is this the perspective? She had
some conservative stances--while I'd recommend liberal, that didn't enter into
her primary efforts. It sounds like she ran a lower income version of something
like a Salvation Army outlet. If you're homeless, you get a place to stay over-
night and get something to eat. Somebody might lead a prayer. I wouldn't go
there for medical care any more than to a plumber, and someone might hazard
something basic if at all in that way--others had the expertise to make those
decisions. But if I was homeless, I'd rather have them there than not. -

ScienceDaily (Nov. 21, 2012) — Inhaled nitric oxide reduced the
adverse effects of transfusing stored blood in mice, according to
a study from the December issue of Anesthesiology. Researchers
found that inhaled nitric oxide reduced tissue injury and im-
proved short-term survival in mice that were resuscitated with a
stored blood transfusion after hemorrhagic shock.An estimated 40 percent of critically ill individuals receive
at least one unit of packed red blood cells in the intensive care
unit. At Massachusetts General Hospital, the average human red
cell storage duration is 16 days, and many units are stored for
much longer, up to 42 days.Transfusion of blood stored for longer durations is associated
with increased morbidity and mortality, especially in patients
with cardiovascular disease. Stored blood cells have reduced
ability to transport oxygen, and many are destroyed after trans-
fusion causing vascular nitric oxide, an important cellular mes-
senger, to be scavenged."While blood transfusions help many patients, when red cells are stored for
long periods before transfusion they can make some patients sicker," said study
senior author Warren M. Zapol, M.D. "Our research was modeled in mice to repro-
duce the adverse effects of stored blood transfusion and to learn which recipi-
ents might be more sensitive."About the Study
Mice were fed either a standard diet (10% calories from fat) or high-fat diet
(60% calories from fat) for four to six weeks. They were then subjected to 90
minutes of hemorrhagic shock, followed by resuscitation and transfusion with
either fresh blood (less than 24 hours old) or blood stored for two weeks. There
was no immune response to transfusion because the mice were transfused with
genetically-identical mouse blood.Findings showed mice fed a standard diet, who received stored blood transfu-
sion had increased tissue injury compared to those that received fresh blood
transfusion. In addition, mice fed a high-fat diet that received stored blood
transfusion had higher blood lactate levels and insufficient oxygen delivered
via the blood stream, associated with a greater short-term mortality.Researchers found that when mice breathed nitric oxide, during and after
transfusion, they had reduced tissue injury, lower lactate levels, and less in-
flammation and oxidative stress. Inhaled nitric oxide also improved the short-
term survival rate of mice fed a high-fat diet, who were resuscitated with
stored blood transfusion."Resuscitation with stored blood transfusion adversely impacts the outcomes of
mice with hemorrhagic shock, an effect that is exacerbated by feeding mice a
high-fat diet," continued Dr. Zapol. "Our research also confirms that stored
blood transfusion is bad for mice that have diabetes or are overweight, and the
toxicity of stored blood in mice can be prevented with inhaled nitric oxide."Stored blood administration remains a critical component of the treatment of
hemorrhage or anemia which results in inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues.Dr. Zapol and his team hope their findings will help to better identify those
patients who will be most susceptible to negative outcomes after a stored blood
transfusion, as well as highlight the benefits of breathing nitric oxide when
patients are transfused with stored red cells.
