I too, want to hear directly from Mae-and her granddaughter. Curious why granddaughter or her attorney would not make some sort of statement, if she's on the up and up.

I respect the family's wishes to get off the public stage.

But I want to see the hospital and hospice out in full, bright lights. Why the need for a court order to obtain treatment? How was the move to obtain an emergency guardianship justified? Why "go adversarial" against treatment for Mae? How did they justify the withholding of adequate food and water to sustain life?

I think there are also possible legal causes of action against many of these players. Mae could win a lawsuit, and donate the proceeds to an "honesty in hospice" cause. That'd be pretty cool.

And why did a hospice accept a patient that, as far as we know, was not diagnosed as 'soon to die'? Last week, the hospice's attorney was unavailable for comment; anyone heard if she's back and will talk?
