If you join an order where you take a vow of poverty, why complain about the lack of luxuries?

Right! "Luxuries" such as basic medical and dental care. I'm glad I'm not your spouse.

Mother Teresa's sisters, like Mother Teresa, live as the people they serve live.

That means that if you live in India you get the same medical care as a poor Indian does.

Very few women join the order because it is an uncompromising self-sacrifice.

Oh my wife gets her teeth cleanings every six months. But she is not working with poor in an ascetic order of nuns. I believe BASIC MEDICAL CARE was indeed provided to the Order. You don't really believe this malcontent author do you?
