I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

If it is in the medical report and not crucial to the diagnosis or treatment, it might be able to be excluded.

But also, even if it is allowed in under some other exception to the hearsay rule (this is what the lawyers would be discussing, making motions to the court to include or not), your attorney might be able to discount her statement if she wasn't there to witness it.
