Maya’s Cry for Help? Nurse Testifies for Johns Hopkins 

Shame on you @COURTTV Do your research before putting a guest on your show! This woman has no business criticizing such testimony, being as uninformed as she is.

@@thebeefyleaf We DO NOT know what she was actually referring to IF she truly said that!

​@@thebeefyleaf Maya could have very well meant her life being a lie meaning all the Drs etc were not believing she REALLY was in that much pain, but they all felt she and her Mom were lying, and that her Mom was doing the munchhauser by proxies but, instead of pushing them to actually find out what was REALLY wrong!

And, her mother was a nurse who probably used this kind medical terminology with her.

My daughter was diagnosed at age 3 with leukemia. The nurses used to say “we need to get some kool aid from your noodle” when referring to her port and blood draws. She shut them up really fast with a perplexed look and said “you do realize that’s not look aid right” 😂 She learned to say “vincristine” and all other big names of her meds. She knew which ones came at what time over the years and knew what the side effects were. You are 100% correct that children are VERY aware of everything. Even toddlers. My daughter is now 10 and she has NEVER said “I have an owie” and she got sedation weekly for spinal chemo. She would literally say “can I get my sedation so I can eat now”. So yeah kids do say that. Go into any cancer clinic where kids are waiting for sedation. This nurse must not have worked around critically sick kids for very long.

Yes, they are intelligent beyond their years. AMEN. Adults can't handle it and call them liers.

My niece just went through the same thing this year. She couldn't sit, walk or get comfortable. She uses mmj for chronic pain therefore they would not give her any pain meds. Mmj is not the appropriate treatment for anal abscesses. She cried herself to sleep every night only to wake up a few hours later. She is not a pill popper & prefers the natural approach. This was too much for her & she still had to work through it. Smh. Because she uses mmj, she's considered an addict. We have 6 people in our family with EDS or mixed connective tissue disorders. Possibly reason for her chronic pain & the abscess.

@americangirl6582 that's insane I don't know what mmj is I'm guessing medicinal Mary Jane. In any event an abcess needs immediate surgery. To think she was denied medication and had to work with it is in my mind torture. Tell her to take care those horrid things come back 50 percent of time.

@shimmer8289 mmj is exactly what you think. I agree. It is insane. That's the world we are living in. It's mind-boggling. She finally found a doctor who listened. The suffering she went through is unacceptable. She could've died from sepsis. She went to ER three times before they took her cries seriously. 😭

@americangirl6582 I hear you. Mmj is legal in Canada for a long while now. Stores everywhere. Well I hope she's better. Good to know I'm not the only person hospitals ignore.

@@shimmer8289 rest assured you're not alone🤭

Right? They're acting like she's 3.

‘She did t say she had an owie’ 😂 what 10 year old uses the word Owie?

exactly and Maya's mom was a nurse, so sedation would have been a basic word for her

Mya is very! INTELLIGENT

Also, abuse and trauma (and yes, maya WAS abused and traumatized, BY THE HOSPITAL, not her PARENTS) you grow up WAY to fast. I was abused badly and was put through insane trauma, and I was talking like a lil adults as a 10 year old. You grow up to fast. I have NEVER said "an owie" EVER... Also, as you said, different children have different "intelligence"/ mature-ness (English isn't my first language, I'm NOT trying to say children are adults or any of that crazy crap😅) But this nurse, is SO uneducated on DIFFERENT children it's CRAZY ... disgusting and DANGEROUS

Dr. Hanna in his deposition said he prescribed oral ketamine daily but Beata injected it herself (!!!) into a central port every 4 hours, which made him extremely uncomfortable and he refused to prescribe further. Same guy attested despite being in the wheelchair Maya had full use of her legs. There was a WHOLE OTHER HOSPITAL in Tampa where Maya was for a month that also reported her to CPS and videotaped her and came to the same diagnosis of MBP and recommended she is separated from mother. By the time of JH admission Maya didn't eat for 5 days, and when she asked for food in the ED Beata got mad. It was documented Maya stated her mom was withholding food from her. Over the course of involuntary hospitalization she gained a lot of weight and overcame malnutrition. Jack himself said in his deposition Maya was never in pain when she was with him, but the moment Beata would show up the girl was having pain. She also put Maya in a wheelchair and put diapers on her despite Maya being fully functional and being able to use bathroom and shower. The timeline is absurd, and the documentary clearly tried to muddy the waters on purpose. In reality the "symptoms" started only 2.5 months before they flew to Mexico to put Maya in coma. They absolutely weren't looking for other opinions, they absolutely didn't give the standard of care CRPS treatments a go. In Mexico Maya had a fungal pneumonia and other complications of her "treatment", and then they continued going to Mexico for additional "treatments" afterwards despite the child suffering serious medical harm which was not shown at all. Beata was also accused of prescription fraud by multiple doctors under oath saying they didn't prescribe however much she was filling. Also she filled a prescription for an enormous amount of ketamine 22 days into Maya's hospital stay, when she was already under court's extreme scrutiny. At the time of death she had an IV in place, which was also conveniently not shown. It is entirely possible she was using the drugs herself. After Beata's death a blog was discovered of Beata posing as Maya (!!!), detailing all the treatments and getting online attention. Jack did not know this. There were also 2 gofundmes she set up for her "terminally ill" daughter.

@@Bea_22 where did you learn about the other hospital calling DCF?

@Bea_22 You clearly work for John Hopkins, or you are a horrible person spreading lies as truth, which you have no evidence of except watching lies from the media who do not report the truth. If anything you said was true, they wouldn't have won the case and such a large amount. I think people like you who have nothing to do with this family and don't witness what they go through should mind your own business and stop talking like you know what is going on when you have absolutely no clue.

The nurses and doctors aren't suing for 200 million dollars, they have no reason to lie. If they were caught perjuring themselves they would face jail time. All the hospitals Beata took Maya to reported unusual suspicious behavior on both Beata and Maya's part. Jack enabled this sick relationship between the mom and daughter evidenced by the facy after Beata killed herself Maya got better fast!

She was only 10 though I don't remember most of what I said when I was 10 and those statements sound like very specific things to make up

Naturally, you want to believe a young drug addict over the word of medical professionals.

Maya was on heavy mind altering drugs. Her perceptions may have not been reliable. I think it is unfair to accept her recollections over numerous doctors and nurses.

News flash .. junkies lie. Maya “hated” being there because she was sobered up.

Okay Maya

Brilliant answer! Couldn't agree more 😄

THEY WERE LOOKING for excuses to make this situation something it wasn't.... it's called "CONFIRMATION BIAS"... unprofessional

Also, abuse and trauma (and yes, maya WAS abused and traumatized, BY THE HOSPITAL, not her PARENTS) you grow up WAY to fast. I was abused badly and was put through insane trauma, and I was talking like a lil adults as a 10 year old. You grow up to fast. I have NEVER said "an owie" EVER...

Yeah I have never heard a 10 year old say I have an owie that is something a toddler would say

For ten years they didn't do a biopsy?

Scarred tissue ?

@@kelly3560 scar tissue.sorry

I have the brain scarring too 😢

@@ellafacebooktruecrimecases3644 we have no clue what that can be from. However she's been having dizziness and almost passed several times. They don't know why? She's done everything we can do for testing.

Why is it repugnant miss Klink made herself look like a fool

I agree court tv got it so wrong how sad that they don't report what was really said when anderson proved this witness to be lieng and not reporting her true pain, I'm tired of all these lies too from the hospital

Shame on you Court TV! In bed with JHACH!

Really bad media coverage. They should have shown the cross examination too.

Or it just doesn’t support the family’s case so you don’t like it. The truth is in front of your nose but you’re choosing to ignore it and vilify the people that report it.

Years?? The child was quickly diagnosed with CRPS given Ketamine infusions and even underwent coma induced Ketamine in Mexico. Something not right with doing that to a 9 year old. This coming week will be in as the judge has allowed some videos on Maya into evidence.

And propofol is like taking a vacation from the pain.

@@sunshine22723stop judging! You don’t know what you would do in the same situation, your young child screaming in pain for hours. I saw all the evidence coming in and I don’t see anything that will sway the jury. We know they are siding with the Kawolski family from their questions crossing the witnesses. Colonel Klink is a disgrace to the RN profession.

​@@barbaragroh8514 that's exactly what addiction is; seeking relief from pain, physical or emotional. This girl was abused alright but not by the hospital

Exactly, the defence is taking her words and twisting them. Dirty defence team out for blood.

Support to you be strong

@SunFlo... I agree with you.

💯

Her charting back then, verbatim "I'm tired of these lies, my life is a lie" wouldn't be worrisome to you, if you heard that from a 10 years old child? The nurse even charted about it, she did not know this trial would take place. Health care workers have a duty to protect a child, it's part of our training. I fully understand the nurse concern. Have a bit more faith in humanity, not everybody has ill intentions.🌹

Don't agree.

What a stupid thing to call pain “An owie”. Give me a break nurse Ratchet

@princecornell639: I like your comment!

Agreed

YES!!!

@corinnegreene-... Totally.

That is HORRIBLE you poor thing!!! I agree - the medical community needs a complete attitude overhaul as far as pain meds go! My son has had his opiate prescription thrown back in his face by pharmacists that refuse to fill it!!!!

I cringed at that part & the second time she said it I had the thought ' I wonder is a lawyer can somehow get a witness to stop using a word , because I would if I could '

Exactly. Beata had a specific way of conveying things and that’s what Maya emulated.

Agree. I'm in recovery but 3 years ago I had endocarditis and needed my left heart valve replaced, kidneys shut down 24 hour dialysis. They had me on antibiotics, intubated and sedated. In and out of it I would wake up to my hands tied to the bed and had bruises all over. I told them I wasn't violent but apparently when I was out of it, I was doing the actions you stated and even pulled my intubation tube out but don't remember a thing. They were too busy treating me like a drug addict just going through withdrawal that it was 2 weeks before they realized I was actually sick and dying. Hospital told my mom to take me home and give me meds to keep me comfortable and die. She refused. Surgeon came in from another hospital and saved my life by doing the surgery but my body wouldn't stop bleeding. Again the surgeon told my family to come say their goodbyes. I slept for 2 weeks after surgery, my body stopped bleeding. The surgeon said it was a miracle. I had to learn how to walk again and gain strength back and to also stay clean. The 2nd hospital saved my life. The 1st hospital judged me and treated me like garbage.

Exactly.

@@cassandra6710I’m so sorry, that shouldn’t have happened. Bless you

I hurt my knee recently. (I’m 68 yo.) I couldn’t move ANY part of my body w/o my knee hurting. Finally, after 3 days, hubby took me to ER. I told them that nothing had helped the pain and asked for something stronger. They said they’d give me a scrip for Advil and Tylenol (which they had already given me after being in ER for 4 hours!) . They finally gave me a scrip for Oxy, low dose to be taken every 6 hours, and they only gave me FOUR tablets!!! You are so right about the war on opioids. Doctors look at EVERYONE as drug seekers.

Most nurses SHOULD know that but they don’t and lack the compassion it requires to be a good nurse

She can't - only doctors can prescribe.

100 per cent agree wonder how much she's getting in to her back pocket 🤔 😂 she sounds just like the rest of liars from that hospital I wouldnt put a dog in there

@specialkl4792: Agree.

And it’s like they all sat down and talked about what everyone was going to say. Their stories are almost too much alike…. With no proof to back up any of their claims (that I have seen when watching the case)

Me too

Yeah…it makes you wonder why court TV has this bias doesn’t it?🤔

@@charrielyn1231 It really does 😒

Their admitting physician literally spoke Polish and grew up in Poland.

Unfortunately in any situation when cps or a hospital has any reason to suspect abuse they have to report.i blame sally smith

100%

She spoke English well enough to pass boards

Exactly!!!!! I agree ☝️ EmmaDee 💯

One minute, she talks about not having a camera....but then we have the whole portion from the defense about Maya being recorded for her safety. And her talk about the charting is incorrect. You also chart for future medical records and learn that in entry-level medical fields youre telling the patient's story. You also understand that these records can always be summoned in court, so "if you didn't chart, it didn't happen." If she was expected of psychological issues, you would chart the "astonishing" behavior shed "never seen anyone do before." Also,....10 year olds saying they have "owies." Get real.

She also heard her mother, a nurse, say these things. Not weird at all. What would've been weird is hearing 10-year old say they have an "owie."

@@basicallyno1722 Saying an "owie" for Maya in particular would be. Yes.

LOL really?? 😂

I have to agree. As a mandated reporter (teacher though, not a nurse) I believe I would have done the same. We live in the US - ketamine is not accepted here for treatment of children. Or anyone?? Not sure. I feel horribly for Maya. Not her fault at all.

@@AshleyVestal but as a mother watching your child go through so much pain and knowing something that could help, I would have recommended the same and been upset. Also people are forgetting the way they treated her after her mother was removed from the situation, she was abused in that hospital. If her mom was abusing her I doubt she'd be as distraught.

⁠​⁠@@AshleyVestalHave you actually read legitimate medical research on ketamine treatments or just assuming? There are multiple studies showing the benefits it provides. Again , you’re making false statements . They do in fact use ketamine treatments in the U.S. There’s literally ketamine clinics purposely designed for the treatment and to monitor the patient. It takes less than 10 minutes to do some research to not make yourself look like a 🤡🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

😂☠️😂☠️🤡🤦🏻‍♀️🙄. Seriously ? You’re serious right now ?? I can’t even think of words to express how much of a ridiculous statement you just made.

She was showing clear bias and almost seemed resentful against Maya. This was a bad guest. Very unprofessional media coverage! Wonder why they didn’t show Mr Anderson cross examination of the witness, or the jury’s questions. Because it didn’t fit their narrative. Very disappointing of court tv

Nurse Klink blew her attempt in my opinion. Anderson did a killer cross and showed the jury what really took place. So many liars coming in through the defence, but they’re not fooling the jury by the questions they’re asking.

I had two brother who were both very sick, one with a deadly brain tumor. I took care of him until he passed. I researched everything on the internet and read all of the documentation provided. I carried a note book around with me and wrote everything down. It was not to accuse anyone of wrongdoing, but it was a history of treatments, surgeries, Radiation, Chemo, PT, OT. hospital stays, medications, what doctors he said. If he had any side effect, was weak, fell out of bed, was nauseous. etc. I documents everything and I knew what was going on. That is not wrong, that is the correct thing to do when you are the caregiver for one of your loved ones.

@@max355cat Sorry you went through that, your brothers were fortunate to have you as a sister and caregiver.

How do you consider that? Beata was a registered nurse, and a registered doctor had prescribed Maya's medication - how frustrating would it be for none of the hospital medical employees to know of the condition that Maya had? How do you consider Beata 'manipulated and endangered' anyone?

@soyunperdedor absolutely!

Agree and will start watching on Fox News. Bye Court TV!

​@@lawrenceandcheryldoudiet5090😂 Fox News

Because you knew her personally ? Cmon now 🤡 she was fighting for her child. What proof do you have that she was unstable? Do you have kids ? Would you not do whatever it takes to help them ? Never mind the fact that she was a nurse with trained medical knowledge. Do you?

Her mom was evaluated for both munchhouse( sp) syndrome and for mental disorders.She was deemed sound of mind as well as not having the syndrome she was accused of having by social workers

Maya testified that she suffers from depression among other conditions now. Learn all about this case here: www.courttv.com/tag/maya-kowalski/?

​@@CourtTVso she no longer has the pain issues?

Discredited by *THE Jury of the Century* 😊

@@LiLHarOak 😂 Juries are generally the dullest people they can find

“Credible” !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@marybryner5562 A professional nursing with the wherewithal to quote the patient. That’s what real evidence is

smoking gun haha yeah right, not even close

CPRS, munchausen, conversion disorder. And billed for it too for 4 months.

Do you know the hospital actually billed the insurance company under the code for CRPS , while denying until they were blue in the face that it’s not what she actually had or are you just spewing misinformation for no good reason?

@crazybeautiful4270 are u speaking to me I'm not sure......but anyway they made 10s of thousands for CRPS dx. And it's in black and white how can she have conversion disorder munchausen AND CRPS?

You should seek some help. You sound unstable. Even with your cruel attitude, I hope you never endure what Maya did. Left in excruciating pain, spied on, called names, denied contact with family, had her religious rights violated, her right to privacy with her lawyer violated, her belongings taken, photographed against her will in her bra, and groped by a social worker. Just to name a few things that have come into evidence so far. And BTW - their own witnesses say Maya experienced terrible pain. And the independent doctor appointed by the court diagnosed her again with CRPS. Not to mention - even if the hospital was right, that would have made Maya an abused child and they still treated her horribly.

theyre not going to shut down, they make billions. they need to be held accountable - Maya is not the only person theyve done this too. Theres a lot of medical malpractice.

nobody ever documented that despite them having concerns she had MBP. I just doubt that part of the story.

Because the mom got her hooked on the painkillers. That's an awful thing to do to her child.

@@j.artiste8596 the MOM didn’t prescribe her the medication. The mom advocated for her child until they found a regimen that worked for her. “Hooked on painkillers” is only relevant if the person isn’t actually in pain. I have a dependency on Wellbutrin and Xanax… I couldn’t just stop taking them because I have been on them for years due to major depressive disorder and BPD.. that doesn’t make me a junkie just because my body has developed a dependency to the medication I need.
