Yup. It was like a martyr complex by proxy. Her hospices had extremely poor living conditions and no sanitation, denied patients painkillers, and made no attempt to save patients with curable problems. She was against contraception and abortion. She believed that suffering was holy and thus, well, helped her patients get more holy. And it can't be that she couldn't afford those basic necessities for her patients: huge donations to her charity sat in her own bank accounts, except when she used them for her own expensive health care.
Not exactly the humanitarian she's made out to be.
