Defense Presents Closing Argument in Take Care of Maya Trial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 ноя 2023
- Attorney Ethan Shapiro delivered the defense's closing argument on Tuesday morning in the 'Take Care of Maya' trial. Maya Kowalski and her family accused Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital of false imprisonment when they brought their 10-year-old daughter, Maya, to the hospital, claiming she had a severe pain flare-up in October 2016. The hospital, in turn, accused Koswalski’s parents of abuse and removed their daughter from their home. This chain of events led to Beata Kowalski taking her own life. The Kowalski family is seeking justice by suing John Hopkins All Children’s Hospital for $200 million due to their actions, which they claim influenced Beata Kowalski's death.

The notes written by mom as maya in first person is weird AF actually
Right?!? Yet there’s still people saying that she was totally of sound mind and is the victim of bullying by the mean old hospital who wouldn’t OD her daughter! 🙄🤦🏻♀️ Gotta love it when people form their conclusion based on a Netflix documentary that was one-sided as all get out, rather than get actual FACTS from the medical records that the documentary didn’t show. They were available to the family and they could have used them…but that wouldn’t fit their narrative and would completely blow their obvious cash grab lolsuit.
@@AlaFrigginBama I definitely watched the doc before this, and seeing Maya's emotional pain had me on her side. But I've enjoyed debating the facts in the case. I am interested to hear from the jury bc they are deffo less biased than me. And even I am leaning in favor of the defense at this point. But he's a good lawyer. So again, I'm just eager to see what they come up with.
Yep…classic munchausen
So why John Hopkin All Children Hospital denied Dr.Hana to do evaluation on Maya despite the court order? And after Beata hung herself and pass away, this hospital released Maya and she was taken to see Dr.Chopar for evaluation by the court order
This was so well organized, its the perfect exercise listen along.
😂Ooooookkkkk what ever you say that's why they lost smh 🤦♂️
Holy crap!. That was a MASTERFUL defense closing!! As an attorney for 18 years...It doesn't get much better than this. The arguments were direct, concise, and compelling... AND they were delivered in the most respectful and compassionate way possible. I'm not really up on all of the details in this case, but I have to give this attorney his due respect for this closing.
Masterful, compelling and fully based in fact.
Of course that matters not. This jury will award plaintiffs a ridiculous amount of unwarranted money and off we’ll march to appeals.
Then why does your comment only have 9 likes?
@@supriseimblack it's now 17 lol
It just showed me, ame across to me is that they still don't get it . Only a huge amount of money will help them get it. They did harm this family .
@@supriseimblackThats enough internet for today kiddo.
Ok, whatever you believe about Maya's condition, this case was certainly not as simple as the Netflix doc made it out to be. I used to like Netflix docs but this is not the first time they have made a completely biased piece. I'll take any others with a pinch of salt from now on.
Yep I cancelled my subscription after this and making a murderer came out as all lies
Netflix is about making money, not telling the truth.
@@deborah3912 dang, this is crazzzzyy!!! How disappointing!!!!!!
Here’s what you fail to understand. Let’s say her mom was overly medicating her and exaggerating her condition - the question isn’t who is right - mom or hospital. The question is, did the hospital harm Maya by removing her from her mother’s custody? The answer is yes. Maya is irrevocably traumatized. They did not help anyone. Sure, maybe the corrected a medical condition. But was it worth it, the absolute carnage in the wake of their “help?” The whole point of child protective services is to make sure they are doing what’s best in the interest of the child. In what world did Maya benefit? I’m 38 years old, and I believe my mother was similar to Maya’s. Every sneeze, every complaint, every upset stomach, my mom was convinced I had a sinus infection. I was constantly on antibiotics as a child, and doing these sinus irrigation procedures which she convinced me I’d have to do for the rest of my life. When I moved out for college, I never took another antibiotic in my life and never did another sinus irrigation in my life. Never had another sinus infection. I love my mom dearly and I know she loves me more than anything in the world. If a judge or hospital would have taken me away from her when I was Maya’s age, my mental health would have been irreparably harmed. I was an over medicated kid. So what? I’m alive, I’m healthy, and I have a good relationship with my mom. All of these armchair detectives trying to go into the minute details of whether Beata was right or wrong are missing the point entirely.
This closing argument was stellar.
Shapiro had an amazingly compelling closing argument!!! prayers for him and his family this is tough emotionally!
Mr. Shapiro did a great job. He was clear, cogent, told a chronological story and his argument was very compelling.
@@TexasShocker I agree that he was defending a guilty party, but that is one incredible lawyer.
@@oggiedog157With friends like that who needs enemies?
An excellent, sensitive, detailed- but not too detailed- closing by Shapiro. I hope the jury considers everything in this case. I think it was definitely conversion disorder.
😂
Thanks for your professional medical opinion, Doctor.
After watching this im actually shocked they won there case.
they lost huge.
If the entire case was closing arguments from attorneys, the hospital would have won easily. But the testimony from both the plaintiffs witnesses as well as hospital staff pushed things very hard in the other direction. Its very hard to find the hospitals witness testimony credible when they have perfect memory for every detail the defense asks about, but have no recollection about things you would expect are very memorable when the opposing side is asking questions. It makes it look like they were coached on how to lie
The other counsel looked distracted and unprepared (except for the person breaking down potential payments). If I was going to get the ridiculous payout that these lawyers are potentially getting, I would have been prepared. THIS guy is AWESOME!
Haha that plaintiff attorney has looked unprepared and distracted the entire case. If they win anything it will be due to lack of understanding and overwhelming emotion
@@glitter7777lol your as db as your name kid they won big and stop acting like you you so smart your name is literally glitter 😂😂😂😂you 2 need to look in the mirror
Nah you jist to db to keep up kid THE jury spoke and thank God we have jury's go back to law school kid
Agree…Shapiro laid out the intricate timeline and the facts excellently
That's a Lawyer right there
GREAT LAWYER SAVED THE EGGS FOR THE BOMB AT THE END GAVE MAYA NO FIGHT OR WAY TO CONTESR
If the child hates you and don’t want you touching her then the parents hate you cuz u took their kid unrightfully um yea it’s a problem when you touch them and tell them your gonna adopt them!
I’m glad I watched this. I knew something felt off. Beata truly was ill. My heart goes out to everyone on both sides in this case and especially to dear Maya. I hope she’s getting intense therapy for her psychological trauma.
she was ill because them scum bags put her in that situation
Beata did nothing wrong. Wtd are you talking about
Part of the NEUROLOGY of RSD is that respiratory tract nerve endings are sensitised as well, hence the ongoing irritation cough
EPIC Closing
Just like her mother, Maya up and left Court when she heard she had psychological problems 🙄 If this jury comes back favouring plaintiffs, they put sympathy before FACTS! 🤬
That was incredibly immature of her. I fully agree with you too.
Yes
Wow.. having the emotional regulation to not react in court is wrong?? Weird . If roles were reversed and she did react, you’d criticize that.
Because she couldn't sit there and listen to people who know talk about what she went through.
Maya couldn't handle the truth. She's a a liar and a faker.
The most shocking part of this case is that they held her in the hospital against her will, and instead of treating her, they tortured her to try and prove that she was faking CRPS. All while simultaneously billing their insurance for CRPS treatment. Does it get any more corrupt than that?
Defense has an outstanding case and there’s no question that, if justice alone were observed, the Hospital would prevail.
But I predict that the jury will fail in this and the Big Bad Hospital will pay, and pay big and unjustly.
They (the Hospital) are the victims of two females, each of whom has/had significant, untreated psychiatric disorders.
They will wrongly find for Maya.
@@Evenyoubrutus333 Precisely. I’m sorry that I have such a low opinion of juries in civil cases, but I do.
On the criminal side, American juries generally do well. Recently, a Florida jury properly convicted Charlie Adelson if murder. He is the fourth to be convicted in a conspiracy that involves two and possibly three more.
So I take heart in that!
When I saw the Netflix doc I knew their family was a bit odd. They withheld a lot of pertinent information. They really crossed their Ts and dotted their Is, the hospital, even the providers before. The husband was actually supporting the hospital and their therapy for weaning her off heavy medication. He even mentioned divorce in the documentary.
@@christyl5481 I so agree. We saw the documentary well before the trial and my husband, who is a family practice physician, said there was something very wrong with this family.
At the trial, they tried to suggest that a divorce was only for the purpose of bringing Maya home. I don’t buy that for a minute. Jack knew the score but he was no match for Beata.
@@lynnparrish1335 wow I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw it, and being that your husband has much experience in the field of medicine. I truly feel for the kids. Maya overcame a lot, not only her mom but once she realized that the treatment plan her mother insisted on was wrong. They feel loyal to their deceased mother but they also know in their mind that it was not the hospital’s fault.
Her mother wouldn’t have stopped medicating her until she was dead.
So disturbing… The netflix doc left a lot out.
@@alexisrosek the documentary people on here are crazy.
@@alexisrosek even the father was wanting to keep her from the mother without saying it out loud
And now Ketamine has been approved for CRPS in America since before Maya's trial ended. Please explain this to me.
Haven’t seen the rest of the trial but wow
You need to see the whole trial. This is NOT the first family have problems with John Hopkin All Children and Dr. Sally Smith. The Kursnir family, the Graham (husband actually went to jail for 300 days before he was cleared because of wrong accusations from this hospital and Dr. Sally Smith) . These so called pediatrician are NOT expert of Neutrologist that's why they never said Maya have CRPS, while 3 different Neutrologist stated Maya has CRPS
What kind of CBT and what mindset is rehabilitated?
The fact is that her pain was real and had a script from a doctor for the medicine she used. Amazing how only the doctors that agreed with the hospital's diagnosis was mentioned.
There are far too many ads which is very annoying
Change your ad settings. If you don’t program it, you’ll get a ton of ads.
Get youtube premium! I couldn't cope without it. I loathe ads!
@@Brooke52528
Agreed!
For $10/mos, if you watch RUclips a lot, like instead of television, it makes great sense!
@@Brooke52528 You pay to use YT ? seriously ? .....lol .
@@Brooke52528 Get Firefox with the Ublock Origin add on.
So if the parents don't have a problem with keeping her and treatment plan was agreed too then why did,the hospital put things in motion for create a shelter order? That's what doesn't make sence to me.
Physiotherapy definitely needs ceasing according to patient instructions “when she says so” under Maya’s circumstances
Nice closing but it doesnt change the fact the trauma they caused
It's a fact and you can't remove fact. It's there for all to see on the internet. I wonder how Judge Haworth feels today. Like a heel.
Who’s Judge Haworth?
Do you mean Judge Carroll?
This closing information and statements change the dynamics of this family, and Mayas mind during all this. I hate to say it but, all her symptoms and behavior and prior treatment, reveal severe withdrawal from these drugs her Mom has given here now for long enough to be detrimental to her health. Something seems off about the story from the family, as well as the mentality of the Mother, given her ultimate actions that indeed broke her away from her own daughter forever.
Totally agree with you. Her mother caused all those symptoms. Typical gypsy rose blanchard case. All the evidence, and the Hospital lost? Cannot believe it, just insane
How is exaggeration there when patient is scared or reluctant to admit or declare pain?
I watched the Netflix Docu months ago and something didn’t sit well with me. Her husband came off as put off and insinuated divorce. The facts and science based therapy practices have finally come to light. I think the defense did extraordinary, no bitterness, just facts. I feel awful for Maya and her family. Clearly her mother was toxic and believed she was a doctor. I have had behavioral issues my whole life and am not a mother. I cannot comprehend a loving mother offing herself when all these facts are true. Maya is not there for closing arguments and that says a lot.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Maya is there during closing arguments. & You're not a mother and therefore clueless. The power of that hospital, child protective services and the courts along with the lack of accountability they face is terrifying. It's called a power trip- they didn't like being questioned by a concerned MOTHER who had stood by and took good care of her daughter.
@@abbeyball6890 Maya stood up and walked out of the Defense’s closing arguments. If you haven’t watched this I encourage you. They had a slide show and had exhibits of her previous dr’s notes and recommendation for treatment. It’s almost as if she doesn’t want to look at the whole picture. Within months of her being discharged she was walking, off K and narcotics. The hospital was able to wean a tiny child off heavy medication and her life is better than before admission. I think the defense did a great job at showing inconsistencies with what Beata was reporting to her family. Beata was the one having a power trip. Her husband tried multiple times to calm her down and not berate staff. She came into the hospital demanding they jam a needle into Maya’s arm and snow her with Ketamine. Ketamine helps with pain but you have to run your own tests to establish a baseline for the patient. Beata brought her daughter to the hospital because K therapy wasn’t cutting it. She wanted to keep her daughter sick.
Agree with you 💯
And they were found guilty! You got no idea
So many bots and accounts created very close to the time this video was released... And those same accounts comment in favor of the defense... with no other activity from their RUclips accounts. Very interesting.
Beata definitely was an abuser… Plain and simple. Those facebook posts were disturbing. Its like she was pretending to be her daughter to receive the sympathy herself.
She was definitely taking the drugs as well. I think she wanted Maya to be on such a ridiculously high-dose that if she stole some it would be hard to detect..
Remember this is Florida, you can't put anything past anybody...
The Facebook posts appear to demonstrate that mom had a very enmeshed relationship with Maya. The posts written as if they are written by Maya are a mind warp and are troubling.
Those posts are totally eerie. She seemed so obsessed with pain and death too. How do people not see this?
@@julierushing2903
What about her patients? Did she have an unusual death rate
Beata FOUGHT FOR HER CHILD. She was NOT the abuser. Her husband & children received JUSTICE.
Maya walking out proves she’s got mental problems. Poor baby. The fact that that this suit was brought didn’t help Maya’s chances of EVER getting better. 😢
The defense attorney did AN IMPECCABLE JOB IN HIS CLOSING! SADLY, MAYA WOULD EVENTUALLY BE DEAD & THE HOSPITAL SAVED HER LIFE! TRAGIC WHAT HER MOTHER PUT HER THROUGH. IMO OFC
and her father, don't forget Jack stood by for months and let this happen.
You need help
@@TexasShocker yes, you are!
Wow, Shapiro 👏🏻
People convinced of their delusions are almost impossible to get through to. Their chances of recovery are slim.
I was extremely emotionally effected by the documentary- as a mother of three, who wouldn’t be? But I always did find it suspicious that she did end up making a recovery after her mother died. It never sat right with me. After watching this this methodical defense, I am out that Netflix would present such a manipulated viewpoint.
I absolutely agree with you. She doesn’t use wheelchair, she seems fine. I think that her mom really had a mbp disorder.
@@andystar3429if you actually did research into the disease her daughter has, it’s chronic. It has flare ups. She’s had flare ups since her mom died.
Read something
Miss Bedees voice sounds alot like the social workers 🤨
HE IS SPOT ON‼️‼️‼️‼️📍📍📍📍📍📍📍📍📍
How do they explain Mayas good grades in spite of her being on ketamine
What would be the driver of somatosisation disorder here?
How was adrenal insufficiency diagnosed?
Her mom definitely had MBP. Who is in the right mind gives hardcore dr@gs to 10 yo child!!!? This is insane. The online diary where mom pretends to be her daughter is truly disturbing. Hospital saved girl’s life but they were also wrong with the insurance fraud and the medical staff weren’t competent. They had to be found accountable on those occasions, but that’s it. They really saved child’s life

@@jmokj1635i hate it when people reply writhing “their story” as if being on antibiotics compares to the dangerous and lethal drugs this mother had Maya on. Do some research because your story is in no way equivalent.
@@verticegirferd5069 you missed the point
@@verticegirferd5069the patients disease is chronic and has flare ups. She still has flare ups. And the doctor wrote a script for ketamine because it eliminated her long term pain from the chronic illness.
The way you guys just swallows lies hospitals do to hide reality is insane.
Didn't the mom say she wanted to put Maya on Hospice if she couldn't have the Ketamine.
What sign of a potential psyche component was present and how is this recognised at the bedside?
Generalised pain disorder
Sudden loss of respiratory muscle strength from a fright will affect ability to breathe. Pulsometry is not a reliable index of this phenomenon
Gaslighting, the hospital is gaslighting. They had no right to imprison this girl and her family. There are other hospitals. Nurse practitioners are not doctors.
It seems like Beata was the one doing the gaslighting. I’m convinced that Beata has munchausens. Her death probably saved Maya’s life. I feel terrible for Maya regardless but Netflix doc was full of lies. Kirkpatrick sounded insane. That doctor is the only sham.
They went to other hospitals. They all agreed with JHACH.
THEY WAITED UNTIL CLOSING TO DONTHIS SO NO ONE COULD ARGUE IT THEY MANIPULATED AND LITERALLY ARE FORGETTING PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENT IS STILL REAL WTF
@@Graceandres3 Nope, not once Maya got the crps diagnosis. Even JHACH didn’t agree with JCACH - she’d been to the hospital a number of times prior for the same symptoms & wanting the same meds without any issues.
@@valhallawShe had two Drs give her the CRPS diagnosis.
Standing tolerance - how was this objectively assessed?
What were Maya’s pulse rate and BP while sitting at EOB, especially if she does have adrenal insufficiency of unknown origin at this point?
The defense did well. That hospital saved that kid. Her mother wouldn’t have stopped till she was dead.
Agree fully
This is the unspoken truth!
You mean the prescription medicine that was prescribed ?
The hospital saved the kid? Are you seriously okay
Exactly
Heads up people, because post opioid scare era, & the nightmare Purdue pharma faced, (rightfully so in their case!,) PAIN MEDS, have sadly been saddled w the unfortunate moniker of the “DIRTY WORD!” God help any of you who will find yourselves in need of pain meds, because the industry is petrified, & are on the swing to fewer pain meds, even for those w genuine need! It’s a shame, but they’re all afraid of not being able to adequately defend themselves, & use pain meds in a responsible manner…just give this trend 30 years, & will YOU or a loved one be in need then? I hope not!…good luck!..
they should have settled, they are going to pay out big.
Shapiro did amazing job. Kowalski trying get rich . Kowalski is not telling the truth.
Yup. This was one of best closings I’ve ever heard! Shapiro completely dismantled every argument the Kowalski’s made. The plaintiffs closing was just pitiful in comparison.
I believe that Maya’s mother was causing her to be sick and to stay sick. What mother would have taken her own life? A mother with mental problems who was losing control. She wanted control.
So you are better than Neutrologist? Wow 😅
I with ya...You totally get it.
Except the court ordered psychologist found no evidence for MBP...
This defence argument is written by a panel of doctors and lawyers … very weak arguments at that
Neurologists don’t understand post exertional weakness
It’s unfortunate that the senior executives of the Hopkins enterprise burden hospital counsel and compliance staff with the task of hiding regulatory deficiencies and poor performance outcomes, instead of ensuring the excellent care of patients like they advertise.
Finally someone seeing past these prices of sh
What specifically are you referring to?
Would Beata still be alive today had they not took Maya to that particular hospital ?
Maya most likely wouldn't be if hospital hadn't saved her😢
Probably, but would Maya be alive
Yes
I believe so. Maya might be like all the other millions of pain sufferers addicted to pain killers.
But mom would be here. I believe that .
Yes. And Maya would be alive as well.
What?! What great defense! Good lord! They distroyed this family! Shameless!
As a patient in America you should always have the right to go with whatever Doctor or Hospital you want. It's completely insane that this keeps happening .
I also watched the Netflix doc film and it’s very biased and many facts are not presented in the movie. But nevertheless I saw that Beata’s behaviour were odd, typical MBP behaviour
The hospital saved her life!
No, it didn't. It murdered her mother.
No they didn't they caused her trauma
@makamurphy
Her mother caused her plenty of trauma before she ever stepped foot in that hospital. And her mother taking her own life caused Maya more stressed than anything and everything the hospital allegedly did to her.
Her mother was a very sick person and unfortunately it appears Maya has some of the same issues.
They caused pain
Seriously ,did you watch the whole trial ,they took steps to take that child away ,then they took pics of her ,that mother was never going to her daughter back ,because someone else wanted her ,very strange ,a child cannot fake all this for so long ,and those dr all looking at the same notes all followed suit into thinking this was psychological,all lawyers did a very good job in this very emotional and truly devastating case ,but by the actions of this social worker this is what happened ,I’ve dealt with dr and many who think they are god and always right ,,most mothers know what’s best ,not ,I repeat not the state
So lacking in objective evaluation
Do you work for or are you affiliated with Johns Hopkins in any monetary capacity?
What bet do we think the judge lost to sport that haircut during a nationally recognized case...
Maya absolutely has a psychological component to this. I'm not saying that she was lying about what was going on but she was doing it and a lot of it was an act. I don't think her mom was at all involved in this make-believe illness, I think she truly believed her daughter and was trying to do what she could do that was best for her daughter. Unfortunately Maya's psychological illness caused all this to happen and now she's being rewarded for it.
It wasn't an act
@@jerrywilcox9890 not one she had conscious control over perhaps, at least not fully, but it was very much an act brought on my a psychological illness. She was obviously malingering at times as well indicating she did have some control. Mom just truly believed something physical was wrong and did what she honestly believed was right. Maya will have to live with that.
@@happycoma84 it wasn't an act period
@@jerrywilcox9890 be as emphatic as you wish, you don't change the facts. And years from now, if not sooner, Maya will either have to get the psychological/psychiatric help that she needs, or she will be destroyed by the guilt. Even with the proper intervention, she may never overcome the guilt of what she's done. Either way though, this story is far from over so keep an eye out and you'll understand eventually. It was all in her head and she played it up. Definitely was a psychosomatic situation whether you understand that now or not.
@@happycoma84 nice try but the evidence shots your theory out the window.
Presentation in a wheelchair is NOT unusual. How do you diagnose a habit cough ???
Sorry to say but the mom, in my opinion, was a real danger to her child. Unfortunately, the hospital handled the situation all wrong. Myah should have had a guardian with her at all times and been allowed to play with the other children and practice her religion 😢.
Because of this the hospital will loose even though they most likely prevented her death.😢
Crushing on Mr Shapiro
Any SPECT brain scan?
All those on here need to watch the TV series Sharp Objects.
So, I see she does have a low AM cortisol on one occasion. Was an ACTH stimulation test done? Muscle enzymes do not detect certain kinds of myopathy
Yes, blame everyone else
I think the father could be a lier. The videos of her with her dog, skating playing the piano she looks happy and fit, the whole things a pack of lies,
What evidence of SIGNIFICANT behavioral overlays existed?
I had no doubts that he would handle closings clearly and factually. A+ job for Shapiro.
Anderson all over the place as usual with his obnoxious voice and belittling comments.
defense lost because of intro to closing argument. “I’d like to thank the jury the judge for your long suffering blah blah. Like “I’d like to thank the academy the director Martin Scorsese…. My co-star.” It’s rude to take a bow before anybody clapped. It’s arrogant. It East’s time. Last words remembered first. Closing matters.
Listening to the defense it makes you wonder was Maya and family telling lies, as she seems happy in the photos, when ive been in hospital there is always a nurse or doctor that you don' like, if Maya's mother loved them so much why end her life, how do we know how she was treated at home, its all well and good showing old photos of how happy they all are but time moves on, im beginning not to believe them any more.
So weird writing as the daughter?! How did they award this family?!

There is no truth anymore because of social media.
What about myositis … that is biological if it is confirmed and requires specific intervention
All the people praising the defense…well, they lost. The jurors saw the truth and JH and their incompetent employees got what they deserve.
Um, incompetent…. ??
Educated, experienced professionals. You make no sense. The jury is more competent than the professionals.. right 😂
If your thinking suing do it you will make a lot of money over bs
They should not have won.
He's a great Attorney. However, The hospital 🏥 will pay out big time!!
It's seems absolutely disgusting to listen to someone talk about someone's mental health, and their mother that is Dead. So gross. All just to Save their butts.
they'll loose big time!!!!
JUSTICE ⚖️ FOR MAYA!!!
🎉
What's disgusting about mental health?
I see a lot comments defending the hospital it seems they paying good to make them look good THE HOSPITAL
So none of the facts matter?
Huh? they paying good to make them look good? Huh?
Are you paid by the plaintiffs?
Holy crap, you are dillusional.
However, no doubt kowalskis attorneys and followers have. This is exactly what they have done and they will get caught.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard 2.0
Gypsy is killer.
He’s so condescending!
Very telling that Maya got up and left during defense closing. 🤔
Mr. Shapiro did an outstanding job and completely smoked Mr. Anderson’s closing. I hope
The jury gets this right. The Kowalski’s are shady to me. Big time. The hospital saved Maya’s life and is in no way responsible for Beata’s choice to End hers. At all.
YOU IDIOTS OH MY GOD
@@angelinaraeandreoli4925always you highly emotional ones that lash out with name calling. You can't even regulate your own emotions, much less seperate them from facts.
Well you were in fact wrong big time . I am glad they got millions of dollars. This should have never happened. She has been diagnosed with CRPS. Of course she be emotional you would to if you were held against your ward plus lost your mother in process. Her mom knew about her sickness plus was a RN too .
These days there a many mom's that has to work to keep food on the table, Maya was still young and kids that age do not allways understand that mom spends so much time at work, not because she wants to but because they have to. For them to even bring this up is just pathetic from the hospitals side.
Regardless of what the hospital says, if the hospital had been professional about the diagnosis and treatment, that would have been one thing. Why then punish and tortured this family? The way they treated the family was WRONG. If I were on the jury, I would’ve done exactly the same thing they did you could be right and be very WRONG.
Beata was definitely taking the drugs as well. I think she wanted Maya to be on such a ridiculously high-dose that if she stole some it would be hard to detect..
Remember this is Florida, you can't put anything past anybody...
Are you serious? She wanted her daughter to be pain free. Do you have CRPS or know anyone that does? Is a living nightmare.
That’s bull
Wow… ignorant
I hope they close this hospital.and the people get put in prison.
In 2015, understanding of these “strange phenomena” was even more limited than it is now. Most doctors apply conversion disorder out of either ignorance or convenience, as they are otherwise up against something they don’t want to admit is over their heads.
PICC line and air flight…. no conflict
You have no clue why it would be. Clinicians have to pull these central lines leading directly into major vessels going into the heart for many many many reasons. It takes a lot for a patient to be discharged with a picc line. Ever heard of sepsis???
I had a picc line in for one day and they took it out cos my fingers turned blue and was absolute agony! It felt like someone was putting knives down my fingernails (sorry 😹🙈)
