I just meant that comment about "not playing by the rules" in my opinion is an ultimately negative expression to use to describe someone. I would like to think it was just a misunderstanding on her part of the English language, however she's been living in this country for approximately 20 years (that I've found) and it was such a deliberate wording. That specific phrase means "cheating or underhanded".
Spot on! I see some possible red flags[emoji626] that could have made the Dr. a target. Not playing by the rules and "Mother Teresa" don't sound like the same person. Imo.I agree with you.
I don't have any problem with cutting edge anything because that's how technology, medicine, society evolve
While I'm not a fan of woo-woo jibber-jabber snake-oil holy-water, I do agree with more holistic approaches incorporating both Eastern philosophy and Western treatments as long as it doesn't involve hurting the patient in any way including ethically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually or financially.
I worry about the ethics and see the opportunity by certain people to use this arena to take advantage of vulnerable people financially something akin to psychics, fortune-tellers. Or for one person to manipulate another into a business partnership, although that's not what I'm implying here, I have seen it happen.
The setting up of a two fundraisers, one of them for $1 million dollars almost immediately after someone was murdered, was a really bad idea. I see that one was later downsized to $100k, but that still doesn't sit right with me.
Good business plans include some level life insurance on each partner to protect the business itself (and staff). I don't know the legalities or what kind of business entity it was. I assumed, but must be wrong of course, that each parent would also have life insurance. I say I must be wrong because of the fundraiser. Regarding fundraising for emotional causes, to me it seemed the most successful projects are those who ask for modest or humble amounts. People respond and contribute past the goal. Those I've seen that ask for huge amounts seem to come off to me as entitled and it backfires and falls short of the goals. Their hearts can be in the right place, but the execution is off-putting.

OK strategizing then. I can see that.
