Myra becomes suspicious of the trio of doctors in charge of the program, especially once the Sisterhood's investigations reveal that one patient has died, and another lapsed into a coma. While those in their care suffer, the three doctors - located in London, Aspen, and New York - all enjoy indulgent lifestyles and extravagant toys. But justice is always the best medicine - and no one dispenses it better than the Sisterhood.

Better days : tame your inner critic / by Allen, Neal(Spiritual coach),author.; Lamott, Anne,writer of foreword.;
"If you're like most people, you have a voice in your head telling you to work harder, be better, make more friends, and screw up less. It frowns at your mistakes, warns you that your list needs tending, and questions your attractiveness. It's a bully. And you don't actually need it. The path to personal nirvana is routed through your inner critic. Better Days will help you confront and immobilize the superego-that nagging little voice in your head that sneers at your mistakes, questions your worth, and whose snarky commentary keeps you stuck in a childish cycle of reward and punishment. The method is simple, fun, and riveting: First you meet your inner critic. Then you talk to it. Then you speak up whenever it pokes in. Eventually it gets the picture that you don't need it, and it shuts up. Along the way you'll learn a dozen specific techniques anyone can use to move it to the side and reduce anxiety, increase satisfaction, and find your own freedom."--
