I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. The court order did not distinguish between terminal and receiving treatment. Many terminal cancer patients still go through intense treatments to prolong their life although the outcome is clear. It's just a matter of time and it may be the same for Mae.
I'll give you that there is time to try alternative treatments. If it keeps the flack off the doctors' backs, I'm sure they are all for it. Those doctors saw what happened in the Schiavo case, why get involved in all that?
No. But the doctors' diagnosis and prescribed treatment did. She wasn't terminal when admitted to hospice. Her dissection was not immediately life threatening.

Yeah. If Ken had just kept this a quiet family matter, everything would have worked out sooner. At any rate, the doctors had to get involved. They were bound by a court order. They were not bound to find Mae's condition to be treatable. They could have found her terminal and vindicated Gaddy, Dr. Stoudt, and hospice.
