Why did they want to build this elevator that Mother Teresa told them not to build?
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that public accomodations be accessible to the disabled, including persons with mobility problems. Mother Teresa had plans to convert a building that had been donated to her order into a shelter for homeless men. Her order (which had $50,000,000 in one account in one US bank) could easily have afforded to modify the building and install an elevator, but refused. The City of New York offered to fund installation of the elevator, but "Mother" still refused on the grounds that an elevator was a "luxury", and that the sisters of the order could easily carry disabled men up and down the stairs. Her order's ostentatious humility -- "Look how humble we are! We're so humble we carry people up and down multiple flights of stairs rather than let them use an elevator!" -- was more important than allowing disabled persons some measure of independence and self-determination.

Did Mother Teresa ever received medical training?
A:
Mother Teresa began her career as a teacher, and had no medical qualifications or training. In fact one of her failings is that she simply did not understand how to provide basic health care. She created hospices that allowed poor people to die with dignity, but often with unnecessary suffering, believing it to be God's will that they suffer. Many of her patients could have been cured with basic medical care and low cost medications, allowing them to return to their families. Collete Livermore, a former nun in Mother Teresa's order, The Missionaries of Charity, said that the order had sufficient money donated to it to buy books to help with the medical work but this was not done and as a result, the health even of the sisters themselves was at risk. A great many of Mother Teresa's patients were Hindus, and her greatest wish was that they be baptised as Christians before dying.
