The Method of Treatment is to provide for each patient the best medical, surgical and hygienic attention necessary for each case.

Judging our own actions and loving yourself:
"You cannot depend on your judgment when your imagination is out of focus."
~ Mark Twain
"Make no judgements where you have no compassion." ~ Anne Mccaffrey
"Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment." ~ Jim Horning
"Turn down the volume of your negative inner voice and create a nurturing inner voice to take its place. When you make a mistake, forgive yourself, learn from it, and move on instead of obsessing about it. Equally important, don’t allow anyone else to dwell on your mistakes or shortcomings or to expect perfection from you.” ~ Beverly Engel
