Duh. Mae's sister has a less sever case, is seven years younger and was not diagnosed as being terminal by her physician. Mae's sister is a candidate for surgery if necessary. The doctors in Alabama said Mae was not a candidate for surgery because of her failing health. It's clear that the two cases differ vastly. The hyperbole in this case emits from the jaws of Mullinax and from all those who bought into his bull.
But of course you know better than they do.
Mae's sister ... was not diagnosed as being terminal by her physician.
Show me a source for the claim that Mae Magourik's physician diagnosed her condition as terminal.
