Maya Kowalski’s Lawyer Lays Out Disturbing Events That Led to Mother’s Death After Abuse Accusations 

How sad and hard. I can’t imagine.

Yes, I agree! It makes sense that they initially were suspicious of a demand for ketamine. But beyond that first suspicion once they saw it was documented CRPS it all should have been over. :(

I'm so sorry that you and the other sufferers have to go through this everyday!

It's no comparison to your condition...AT ALL but it reminds me of the time before fibromyalgia was "discovered" they would tell women that they were faking/exaggerating

Blessings to you ❤️

Oh, and they amputate healthy breasts and genitalia off young children too

Exactly. It is absolutely sickening that those doctors and nurses are still allowed to practice medicine. They are truly disgusting, despicable people. And the fact that some of those doctors continue to hold a social media presence and show no remorse is repulsive. The standard of medical care in this country is abhorrent, it is almost like medical malpractice is the norm these days. So heartbreaking for this young girl and her family. Her and her brother were so incredibly young going through all of this.

The staff that caused this needs prison. This was a form of kidnapping.

Who all think Dr Sally Smith is a criminal? I think she is, she needs to be punished

They need to jailed

In terms of CRPS patients not being treated, yeah, it is. I have it too, and it's nearly impossible to get doctors to treat it.

@@MissSpaz Likely because they simply do not know how to treat it, and think it's all in the mind of the patient, and therefore their parent... hence why Giada Kowalski was accused of Munchausen Syndrome. So that's their mindset, themselves.

Doctors have massive toxic egos and they can't handle the fact that they don't know everything. They would rather blame the patient for causing their own suffering than admit they failed - or admit the patient knows more than they do.

@@rhondaalbrechtoh yah. The problem will only increase as our population grows older.

Justice for how they treated her too ... horrible

It’s heartbreaking. How hard Beata fought for her daughter - for her family. It’s unbelievable. Beata was the most amazing, intelligent, caring, and all out warrior any person could ask for. She documented everything. Thankfully. Maya must win. John Hopkins should be ashamed of themselves.

They won't because the whole world and system is broken, the medical staff aree paid big bucks and that's all they care about, CPS ,is crooked and evil,they get paid big bucks for kidnapped children true story

Was/ is it on Netflix?

Social workers are not capable of giving medical advice or care they aren't schooled..and they don't have any documentation to provide. They are only socially schooled or directed to deal with a person's social situations..

@@michelemcguire8995yes it is

Not surprisingly to me. A healthcare worker

The mother, a few weeks ago I would never have said that.

@@pennicochrane8886 And why would you say that now? I haven't been watching closely the past few days.

The social worker, the doctor and other medical professionals involved in this case. They are incapable of doing their job. I just hope not just the hospital but also these people get the proper punishment. They tortured the family.

Oh they’ll say she chose to unalive herself.

😢

Id call that a quiter

@@supme7558 that’s an ignorant thing to say!

As a mother I couldnt imagine one day away from my kids let alone 3 months! And was not allowed to even give her a hug! They villanized her and accused her of hurting Maya. They even turned her husband against her. These people have no remorse! And its not the first time they have destroyed a family! They have done this to many people. Destroyed so many lives.

Bankruptcy and jail time for all the doctors who dictated this this ‘treatment’

Completely agree. It’s so disgusting what they did.

Bankruptcy? 😂 And then imagine all the children who are left without a resource for care. All these comments thinking this girl is better than everyone else is repulsive. Her parents could have asked for another opinion before it got to being hospitalized. The medical doctors questioned the high dosage. If this medication had resulted in her death, all these supporters would be saying the hospital should have reported it.

@@rhondennis979 They have other hospitals. The hospital wouldn't release her and called cps on the parents even though they told them the situation multiple times. Maybe go ahead and learn something

@@TBEMike They have "other hospitals?" Really? This is a children's hospital. Tell us what other children's hospital is in that area.

So I had a severe fear of hospitals and didn’t want to be there anymore AND I was told my son was being discharged so while I did keep saying I wanted to go home I believed he was going with me. He ended up showing signs of gerd/reflux and I was discharged and he was kept. As badly as I wanted to go home I did NOT L EAVE THE HOSPITAL ONCE I STAYED IN THE WAITING ROOM UNTIL THEY DISCHARGED MY NEWBORN THE NEXT MORNING. they had already called CPS ON ME FOR ABANDONING MY CHILD BECAUSE NOT EVEN DRUG DEALING MOMS LEAVE WITHOUT THEIR CHILD. I had to have them interview me my family come to my home just to discharge my child that I never left.

They did this again at a new hospital when my son was repeatedly told he was having night terrors that were seizures and he started having them up to 15 times a day as a 4th grader. We took him to specialists … we had tons of appointments and even more set up……. But we were aggravating him and keeping him from school with night terrors when he literally was wide awake, screaming running and falling while soiling himself at school it’s insane.

Did anyone see the videos of Maya playing with her dog and her brother at home? Look for that video!

There was something wrong with the mother! Munchousin by Proxy I say yes.

@pennicochrane8886 Multiple doctors diagnosed her with her illness. It was not in Beata or Maya's head. You're a disturbed individual, and I hope you never have children. The hospital claimed they made it up but then charged the insurance company for CPRS treatment when they didn't treat her for it, because Sally Smith said it was made up, but three other specialists confirmed Maya had CPRS.

Oh shut up with trying to bring politics into this. Nurses are almost always republicans, by the way. 🤦🏻‍♀️. Until you learn what “woke” actually means, rather than whatever right wing garbage you are feeding yourself, you really should try to stop talking about politics on social media. This case isn’t about liberals vs republicans. Get out of your cult and stop projecting. This case is about a horrific injury to an entire family.

It’s crazy because most hospitals have chaplains and chapels

Anyone that knows religion would be disappointed in those doctors for ever thinking that

Wasn’t one of the nurses or social workers prominently displaying a large cross?

@@BigGoucho yap had one on in depo as she tried to pass herself of as religious I believe the same person that said the mom was using religion to control her

🙏 Amen

I didn’t think about it this way. It shocked me that the mom left her daughter when she needed her most. This makes sense though

That’s exactly what I told my daughter as we watched this! So sad 🥺

​@keiravanhanken4876 What's really f'ed up is that they let Maya go home soon after her mom died. The mom knew the hospital, nor the judge was not going to let her see her daughter nor let her go home anytime soon. I understand why she did it, though I don't agree that it was the only solution. She felt it was the only way her daughter would get to come home, and she was not wrong. She got to come home a lot sooner than she would have had Beata not died. She did it so that her daughter wouldn't die in that hospital, because they weren't giving her the correct treatment for her condition.

​@@rationalcynic8416Yes, the mother understood how unsafe her child was in the care of such an abusive arrogant narcissistic gold digging psychopathic medical community. She gave her life to protect her child from said monsters.

And the sad thing is she was kind of right! The fact that Maya was released from the hospital 6 days after her mother gave her life says a lot. Absolutely disgusting

The woman in the background tearing up is Beata's daughter Maya. She suffered incredible pain followed by the loss of her loving mother. It's too much. What happened to them is so awful and the hospital cover up is truly evil.

That's the child you're speaking of...Maya

@@bekahe4433 another commenter said that and I already expressed it. She is a strong young lady, and I am amazed at how determined she is. I guess I'll edit my initial comment in accordance. Maya deserves deepest respect and strongest compassion

on the basis of a documentary, not evidence, a Netflix documentary. got it

@@notveryartificial4486 🥰

Yes it is as so sad.

What is the documentary called?

@@williamyoste2812 taking care of Maya. It’s on Netflix.

I’ve been crying all day after watching it 😭 no case has ever hit me this hard before

@@notatrollanoob6156 seeing the text messages of them mocking her and her mother infuriated me

She in conversations I've heard has been positive to Maya...

What was the documentary called 🙂

@@melmel007 “Take care of Maya”

@@emilyjacks6022 yes thanks. I watched it right after I asked cos I found it on Netflix 😃

i don't get why they brought her here if they know being sad makes her symptoms worse...

@@andrabook8758 imo I think Maya being in the background was a good reminder to the jury of the level damage the hospital did. That the mother felt like this was the only way she could free her daughter.

the hospital took their frustrations out on the family, but the mother was not the person who prescribed that stuff to the kid! She was just an easy target and scape goat in this entire circus. None of this changes the fact that this kid should not be enduring this trial right now... this is wrong on many levels. @@shaun5047

I hope so, too. He talks like he just read over Maya’s case minutes before he spoke. I saw the Netflix documentary and have read about Maya’s case. Nevertheless, I’m having trouble following this attorney. He’s bumbling and stumbling his opening statement.

What do you want him to do put a Clown Suit on? Dull about death and destruction of a you woman's life if perhaps normal. It's not a circus or Law and Order its a serious FACT bases trial about profiteering over deaths.

I really hope he improves in his presentation of arguments!

The sheer number of people who have commented the same should be a wake-up call to the attorney (if he were ever to read this comment section, which he won't).

Yes although they already have $250 million from the doctor lawsuit so I don’t think it’s necessarily even about the money but just holding the hospital accountable is important

it must be if they have already won 250 mill@@Dr_KAP

​@stayroxy they got 2.5 million

​@@Dr_KAPIta 2.5 not 250

@@MindyMcDonald yes lol thanks for the correction I wasn’t wearing my glasses 🤣

Because he doesn’t have one

I followed it fine 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was thinking the same

I actually think he did a good job presenting and explaining ..

I thought he pervade the contempt he had for the actions of the hospital with the timeline. I showed to me the utter ridiculousness of their actions compared to the completely appropriate actions of the family.

He was okay in the beginning but along the way he rumbling and wasn’t organized.

Chronic pain patients in general get such horrible treatment we are often not believed we aren’t given meds or support. I’m so sorry for you and for everyone who fights to be able to do the bare minimum and have to jump through all these hoops. It’s so cruel and terrifying how horrible to do this to children.

I'm so sorry 😞 my heart goes out to you. I know only a small amount of ehlers, but I went through years of misdiagnoses and just put on pain meds until I found a doctor who actually referred me to a gastroenterologist who happened to give me actual diagnosis and proper testing to confirm them. Additionally, he was a wonderful person and he had a great sense of humor, he listened to me and he explained things to me in a way I understood it. 6 months after my first meeting with him I was off pain meds and symptoms and pain were manageable and some gone. I am still greatful to him 12 years later. I was so miserable before I thought I would never be able to lead any kind of normal life. I really do wish you the best ❤️ prayers to you and your mom. I hope you get healthy and stay healthy ❤

I also have EDS, SLE, fibro and more…. Dont even remeber if I have ever lived my life without Pain 🤷🏽‍♀️

I thought the same. They could lose this just based on this opening. Horrible.

@@user-di8hm2jl2u couple this with the questioning today of the neighbour and the amount of times he asked to have testimony struck from the record. He is basically handing it to JCH on a silver platter.

He’s terrible

Well, the jury disagreed with you...

Totally!! His flow is totally off. He misspeaks and goes back and forth a lot. He’s basically rambling / going in circles at this point.

They just need God and the truth will present itself no matter what lawyer they have.

100%! freaking terrible!!

Its a docudrama not a documentary

My mom had a spinalcord injury and how how i thought when she was lieing in that casket her hands would not be drawn up like that ,but unfortunately they were and the constant pain her screams will always haunt me i could never be a nurse .

@@supme7558🤓🤓

Good comment.

Medical System in this Country much better than other country. We do not SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!!

Omgsh ok I was so confused!!!

I hope she gets everything she wants, needs and more!

You should see how she dresses on social media 🙄 she loves the attention

@@christyl5481 oh please

I also have fibro and they refuse to give pain meds while we suffer and suffer . They believe its in our head, or nerve pain and they claim painkillers dont work. But the 1 dr that gave them until the dr died i had quality of life! No DR will properly treat a fibro patient.

Emergency departments are the worst. It’s the same here in Australia- If you have anything outside the “norm” they can’t cope and just write it off as a mental illness.

Yes!

@@Dr_KAP it took almost 3 years for me to be diagnosed or even taken seriously for my chronic pain.. with them just taking blood at the ER and saying ur fine, nothing wrong here, Maybe its anxiety! And it used to make me sooo mad as ive had PTSD for 18 years! I kmow what anxiety is and physical pain is NOT freaking anxiety.. they didnt want to look or figure out was was wrong with me, they just wanted me out of the ER so they could charge someone else's insurance for the bed! Clearly its not about health but $$$$ as its always been. But ppl like us who dont have a well understood medical condition with alot of unknowns, are gaslighted, lied too and ignored as if we are lying, made it up or are dr or med shopping which is utterly absurd! My daughter and Maya each have very very rare diseases that have not alot known about it.. it maya's case there is more known about what she has then what my daughter has. The drs are uninformed and their EGO gets in the way (just like cops). How dare you suggest you know something they dont!, how dare you question them! How dare you be educated and well informed and actually be an advocate for your child, or you will be accused of Munchasen by proxy by people who are just trying to get back at you, because how dare you! It happened to me and my daughter 19 years ago and it happened again to biata and maya and it has happened to MANY MANY families who have kids with rare diseases! Its disgusting! MBP is extremely rare! And the parameters they use to "diagnose" this crap condition are the same thing any parent trying to get the correct care for a child with an unknown or rare disease would do! Which is be assertive! Be an advocate for your child! Not allowing medical personel at a hospital to drs office to gaslight you! To opt for finding care somewhere where they wont gaslight you and will listen or a second or third opinion if you come across misinformed Drs, RN's ect..To Keep insisting something is medically wrong when they say their isnt because they dont know! Instead of them trying to figure it out they claim you cause it on purpose or that you magically put it in your chikd head, that you "exaggerate" symptoms!?? Who are they to determine what someone else feels in their body? They are not qualified to deduce that someone is exaggerating symptoms! They claim the "exaggeration" because their EGO was hurt when we put them in their place or insist that they do their job and help our children! ! They call that Dr shopping (when u try and get another opinion or try and find drs who will actually listen & have an open mind to help your child, we are accused of "Dr Shopping") which is absurd because not a single dr knew what my daughters disease was or how to treat it and 99.9% of Drs still dont since there is only 177 ppl worldwide thar have her disease. So in retaliation for them not being able to figure it out & admitting they dont know and trying to refer you to someone who could help, they accuse you of munchausen by proxy! They punish you for daring to question them! And use all the same things that a loving parent would do as "Symptoms" of munchausen by proxy! Its diagusting! They destroy your soul, your family & they continue on forever claiming they were right! Even after medical evidence is shown to them that gee the parent was correct! They wont and cant admit they were wrong or that their EGO got in the way! MSBP isnt a real thing! And its absurdly overly used! Maya represents all of us who had to go through this and didnt have lawyers we could afford to sue, alot of us deserve justice! And i hope maya & her family win and get justice for all of US!

The saddest part is she already was diagnosed and they said it was wrong.. such a heartbreaking case.

That is the downfall to me!

what bothers me is everything. why are they making her sit through this. why do people think it takes 22 min to die from strangulation.... why any of this stuff? all of it bothers me.

why attach a saline line to yourself and then kill yourself? ...why do any of this knowing how it's going to impact your kid....all of this is SOOO dark.

I wish too but less the hospital and more the specific people paid by the hospital. Like sally smith, Karen Beatty , terrible nurses etc.

Ego is a huge problem in medical

Nah, no medical practitioners will give you opioid painkillers anymore, either. They just want you to be in pain now and pretend everyone is faking.

The problem is the doctor doesn't get a kickback if they were to prescribe you ketamine, although now that spravato exists there are some that will. When my insurance wouldn't cover spravato prescribed by my doctor I asked her to prescribe me generic version from a compounding pharmacy and she looked at me like I was a criminal all of a sudden.@@Mataylor17

@@Mataylor17Find a new doctor. Sprivato is incredibly helpful for many people with TRD.

Antidepressants don't work very well. A friend tried magnetic brain stimulation (insurance approves this) and that worked for her.
