"I remain curious too."
Yes it is curious. Seems there are two opinions, one the aorta aneurysm and the dissected aorta, the latter being the graver of the two conditions and requiring a more immediate treatment.
The papers just state that Dr. Stout spoke at the same time the petitioners did without indication of who brought him/her in?

I think Stout is the doctor that certified Mae as terminal, or whatever medical opinion is necessary to support hospice admission. Threfore, he would have been brought in by "Gaddy's side."

At this point, my belief is that Mae has a dissection, and some people use the term aneurism as a synonym. We don't have any direct medical testimony, so my contention is speculation. But I think Mae has just one serious heart/circulatory condition. I have no idea what the correct medical terminology for that condition is.
