Are all Principals like this? SELF-RIGHTEOUS..

Recently, I learnt from a friend of mine that his young wife after childbirth was diagnosed with Stomach Cancer. Since then, she has been put on Chemotherapy treatment. The doctor said that she has about three more months to live. It is sad to hear this. What makes the sad news sadder is that people refuse to learn, unlearn and relearn.

I understand that her sisters, in particular the one who is a school principal, were the ones giving instructions to this cancer-stricken sister of theirs. The husband does not seem to have a say in what to do for his wife. Is the Principal always right? Is she being too authoritative? Has she updated her knowledge about the latest alternative treatment available to cancer patients? Is Chemotherapy the only treatment for cancer? Do you know what Chemotherapy does to the body? Why are western-trained doctors resisting or rejecting alternative treatment? Does anyone know what causes cancer? If this patient has only three months to live, what is the risk of trying something which might just work for her? I have so many questions which I want to pose to this particular Principal sister who seems to be very self-righteous!!! If a principal behaves as such, I am not sure if it would affect her leadership performance in school? Could she be more open-minded? Has she learnt to unlearn and relearn? I feel perturbed by all these unanswered questions!
