- When 10-year-old Maya Kowalski was admitted to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in 2016, nothing could have prepared her or her family for what they were about to go through. As the medical team tried to understand her rare illness, they began to question the basic truths that bound the Kowalskis together. Suddenly, Maya was in state custody - despite two parents who were desperate to bring their daughter home. Take Care of Maya is a devastating documentary on Netflix, but should it be on your watchlist? Thanks for checking out my Take Care of Maya (2023) Netflix Documentary Review!

It was scene when Maya was doing her last interview and she was crying and said "I hate crying" and then her moms voice recording played of her saying, "It's okay to cry, its normal. You have to speak for yourself because mommy's not there. Just close your eyes and pretend im there". That got me balling boohoo real tears🥺
Same!!
right! that part was so beautifully edited 😭 🩷
@@thetreasuregarden.creates totally agree! It was like she was there talking to her baby girl. What a severe gut punch.
Omggg me too I woke up thinking of maya and the family. So sad
Balled my eyes out 😭😭😭😭
Thank YOU Netflix for exposing this awful treatment, Kowalski Family sending best wishes, stay strong, now all of US know and we are with YOU!
Scary how one person has so much power, destroyed so many lives and is still employed.
Yes, and that's really the essential issue with there being no consequences.
It's so unbelievable. I thought abuse of power was only in my country Nigeria. Even with the other trained doctors who had experience with her case writing and talking they were still attacking the mom because they felt offended. John Hopkins my foot!
That person is a disgrace to humanity. The doctors and nurses who were assigned to Maya’s care are a disgrace as well. They have to be fired and never allowed to work in the medical industry again.
@@azpersonal it's a global problem. In the West there is a lot of medical gaslighting, sadly.
I think everyone is forgetting that the reason the docs call CPS because the “cure” for CRPS is 100 mg of ketamine every hour. If you are a doc and your patient’s parents demanded that when your patient is experiencing the symptoms of withdrawal, wouldn’t you be suspicious?
4:00 Finding out the hospital was billing the insurance for the very disease they said the parents made up...blood boiling🤬
I couldn’t agree more, that was absolutely ridiculous.
Yes!!!! I wanted every doctor and nurse that worked with Maya to be put in prison and the Shally lady to be unalived....
That there had me boiling too🤬🤬
I cant wait till that gets shown to the Jurors when the case starts in September. I won't be surprised if punitive damages hits over 300million.
There was a lot said about Beata but this is undeniable.
Never heard of this story until I stumbled across it tonight on Netflix. I’m a sucker for good documentaries but this has gotta be the most saddest and most gut wrenching ones I’ve ever seen and has unlocked a fear I have as a parent that I never knew existed.
Totally agree with everything you said
Don't watch dear Zachary then
Same!!!! I feel such anguish and anger. 😡💔
I spent hours crying, what a pain, what a horrible pain this family went through. Not romanticizing suicide but Beata thought about sacrificing her life for her daughter to be treated, it's still very sad to know that it's not an isolated case, those statements at the end broke me.
Same. It’s tragic 😢
I have the same feeling because it was the only way in which the judge paid attention and did not pay any kind of remorse to his decision, perhaps if the Beata thing had not happened, perhaps Maya would not have returned to her family yet. I hope they can get justice and that the guilty go to jail because they destroyed a family.
Same I don’t even relate in my life to anything in the documentary but I feel so upset and I have cried a lot for Maya and her family today and it’s made me feel weird all day I can’t believe that useless judge walking in with his Christmas cup and poor Maya crying not being able to speak 🥺
I cried so hard after finding out the mother committed suicide. I have a daughter myself so this really hurt me to the core. All she wanted was her baby to not be in pain and to come home. These people tormented her for being a concerned mother. They saw how deeply this mother loved her child and still didn’t care. They blamed the mother when all she wanted was her daughter to be okay. Just comes to show how cruel and heartless people truly are.
Fucking spoiler fuck off
ALSO THW JUDGE WHO DENIED THE MOM A HUGH. that was the last straw
I actually felt more sympathy for the father, as once again, it's allllll about the mother, apparently.
This hits home. My wife has crps. We have three kids. Two of which have autism. I'm the only bread winner. I have to work and my wife is not only a warrior, but a veteran and gets no help at all. I try my hardest. My heart goes out to everyone that is or has gone through this or anything like it. It's like a demon that can't be seen.
I too have CRPS, RSD, type 1. There care other treatments available including implantable morphine pump which has been used for years and proven to be effective. I would hesitate to use such High dosage and a coma induced by ketamine for a child. Remember this is experimental and not approved in the US.
My prayers for you and your family !
watched last night and came looking for moral support! 😫 really difficult to watch. it wasn't just the idea that the hospital could just take control of your family so easily, it's the idea that they could do so and make the process utterly miserable simply because they did not like the mom's assertiveness. it was apparent that they were punishing her. horrifying to think petty people could have so much power backing them.
Me too! Haven’t sobbed like that in years.
The Nigerian in me wishes Sally Smith lives on my street so we can all visit her. The fact she and her corrupt hospital charged the family for the same illness they said the mum and daughter was lying about is beyond me
@@azpersonal that part!! uggghhh!
@@azpersonalyup they billed 92 days under the diagnosis code crps the condition they insist she didn't have. Horrible horrible ' professionals'. That hospital made over 600,000 just on that one diagnosis code for 92 days.
@@kerrysmiles God punish them
Great synopsis of the situation. The one thing I think that’s not mention is the fact that doctors think when women or girls say that they’re in pain that they’re lying and making it up.
good point! many researches show how girl/women's pain is underrated/not being properly taken care of ("histeria" right?) and it's supposed to be XXI century.. It could have been mentioned in this doc, otherwise great, heartbreaking and so important.
I have CRPS. I can't imagine having this pain as a child. I can barely deal with it as an adult. Pain patients are extremely abused by the medical companies and the government. We are looked at like we are addicts and told we are making everything up.
I pray Maya's family gets justice. I pray "normal" ppl start to stand up for those of us that are silenced. It's not just adults, children (as this documentary showed) are victimized and it needs to stop.
You are so right. ❤️
Medical gaslighting is way more common than most people realise. 😢
I have a friend who was gaslit for 30 years. 🤐
Ya you do . Everybody if you go to the emergency room with pain your discharge immediately as a drug seeker . It's our fault we allow it to happen .
I wish she didn't kill herself. The cries of the son and dad when the brother saw her in the garage. And the part Maya was crying at the funeral in her wheelchair. May God punish all those involved who had the audacity to to even mock her at death saying the mental mom killed herself.
I was diagnosed in March of this year. This movie helped me so much. It confirmed just how much Doctors are completely out of touch. I was fortunate that a good friend of mine is a neurosurgeon who when my husband texted him with my symptoms, he knew exactly what I had.
OMG me too- even in March
This is so horrifying. Those drs at the hospital and nurses and child protective services and the judge are plain evil, they committed an absolute crime against that family.
After watching the documentary, I did exactly what you did and went to TH-cam (I've seen your comments on all of them and you're 💯 percent correct). My blood was boiling the whole time, then lost it at the end.
@@bobbywilliams9203 and they knew the mother had the right diagnosis from her dr as they were billing the insurance company for that same diagnosis. How can this sort of thing be hidden from the judge or did the judge know? Her lawyers should have asked the insurance company what the hospital was billing them for and they could have presented that in court to prove she wasn’t making it up and her dr diagnosed it and the hospital did too. It’s all about an evil system that wants to destroy families, that’s the only thing I can come up with because it doesn’t make any logical sense.
I used to work with the father. I can tell you that he is a great human. I had no idea how bad his circumstances were. I’m looking forward to watching the film.
you worked with the dad ? do you still know him ? I would love to tell him that people in Australia are watching the documentary and are completely at a loss on how to help ??? my deepest upset at this complete disaster and his bravery in showing his side is amazing
@@Kenzie_McIntyrei think you can get ahold of them through the journalist who published their story.
@notachannel4209 oh really ?? I am going to look and try and find him
Same here. Unit 6, dept 4. Ooh rah!
has it been made into a movie òr are u referring to the documentary which was sad but incredibly well made
There is so many of these cases out there!! If you think this documentary was long and took a lot out of you try being involved in them. You should check out the case in Idaho with baby Cyrus, the hospital is actually trying to sue the family and the people who helped....smh.
I do the best I can to help out where I can when I can to help reunite wrongfully separated families and kind of have a network now but it's a lot of work!
As a former foster child, foster parent and now Family Advocate/activist, I've seen a lot .....this movie still got to me!!!.
I am an RN in Australia ..I have never seen anything like this but I am sure it happens here too...I admire your work and applaud your ability to work in a system that seems horribly broken and try to help.fix it ....best wishes
I've seen this documentary. It is indescribable how horrific the family went through. Up until now, I'm still thinking about Maya.
May God protect and strengthen the Kowalski family
I cried like I haven't in a long time watching this. I can relate to what Maya's been through on many levels.. Truly horrible
This really happens. Like the movie, I did what mom did but lived resulting from what DPSS put me through. I went through something like this in 1983. When the government gets their teeth in a case. They play judge and jury. They destroy lives. When the government loses the case, they should compensate families. There needs to be a law that the government compensates families for their loss.
Such a rollercoaster of emotions watching this documentary. I feel so much sorrow for what the family endured and disgust at the hospital lawyers and evil Sally Smith
I'm genuinely curious what it's got to feel like for the doctors who were so convinced they were doing the right thing and sending those text messages to each other, like how do they feel after watching this documentary and seeing so clearly what Maya went through beforehand, how torn apart their family was because of them. I couldn't live with the guilt.
I'm convinced they feel like they did nothing wrong, like they wrote in the texts, they are obligated to report abuse, which they understoodwas happening, beata was giving her daughter 1000 ml of Katamine a day and she wouldn't stop, that IS INSAINLY DANGEROUS. Those were also private texts.
You mean the prescribed amount she was administering nice try
@curtrupp4259 many doctors have been convicted and have lost their licenses for overprescribing to those who are addicted and doctor shop. It happens all the time.
Just watched it tonight. So heartbreaking... and that Dr. Sally Smith just looks evil right from the start
I just finished it and u r right ..she does look evil and to think she actually billed the insurance companies for the disease she didn't believe in is astounding
@@Kenzie_McIntyre She really does look like disturbed person,awful DR and human!
I agree! Everything about her screamed evil to me....
I wish that this will lead to a trial by jury, the doctors responsible should have their medical licenses suspended, the social worker should be in jail and the laws should be revised with many fail safes in place, still can't belief thay such shit could happen in real life 😢
This documentary pissed me off, but needed to be told. I was born with a disability (spina bifida for people in the medical field), and am 48 years old. Medical professionals want to argue with me on how to care for myself ALL. THE. TIME.
No one has ever tried to keep me from my parents, though.
I also found myself wishing harm on the people involved in the county CPS. I think I do remember also wishing a few of them were "unalived."
If anyone actually reads my comments, I don't want give a spoiler, but will just say that when it was discovered what the hospital was billing the insurance to treat.
I think finding out they were billing for the disease is just the slap in the face for that poor family
I also want to say that as an RN it's a disgrace when people dismiss the pts knowledge of their own disease and treat adults with a disability like a child
@@KIPS123 I can't believe how quickly they dismissed their colleagues who had been treating her .......a drs 3 most dreaded words are ' I don't know '
I can confirm that CRPS is a living hell. I feel so badly for this family as someone who has suffered from CRPS for years. It's maddening and heartbreaking. Great descriptions of the pain, thank you.
The part that pissed me off was John Hopkins BILLED THE FAMILY FOR THE SAME DIAGNOSIS THEY DENIED SHE HAD!!!!
I know ...I was completely outraged by all of it but that took the cake !!!
That was nuts! It's like admitting you were wrong about the entire thing like WTF.
@@christopherf7393 I have worked in hospitals my whole ife and have never seen such useless dangerous people
CRPS and depression/anxiety go hand in hand. Intractable pain is the cause
if this is what gets peoples attention to these families, we will take it
I cried so much. Bless this family man.
I just watched this documentary and it is so scary like a nightmare 😞 that doctor should be investigated and taken her license away
Chris, you are the finest critic on TH-cam. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
I was a heroin, fentanyl and crack addicted escort for years. In April of 2019, I was arrested at my hotel. I went to jail that night and the intake nurse told me I was pregnant. I've been sober for 4 years now and have a beautiful son BUT it is one of my biggest fears that someone might one day have a problem with me for some reason and call CPS just to make problems. It's my fear that even if I were to ever smoke pot I would get in trouble and have my son taken if someone called. I never do anything that could get my son taken from me but because people and CPS are so evil and vindictive... it's a (possibly) irrational fear of mine. I think any good mom that has seen cases from CPS is worried to even take their kid to the ER for a broken arm! They are so beyond corrupt !!!
This show documentary was heartbreaking but brave
I’ve been dealing with CRPS and small fiber neuropathy for over 7 years. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy! The pain and hell it causes is the worst! The doctors… don’t get me started…
I have both as a result of HEDS...I would wish it on Sally Smith
I have chemo induced peripheral neuropathy, and just the excruciating pain from banging my toes is enough! 😵
I totally feel for you, and you sound like an incredibly courageous person. ❤️
Poor Maya and her family. 😪
This is disgusting. And same on the judges for not letting them seek justice. Corrupt
I just watched this and it is heartbreaking to say the least. I strongly suspect that the verdict will be in favour of the Kowalskys. It MUST be. The f*ck*ng state and the hospital have no case. I also wish that the doctors and nurses who were assigned to Maya’s care during the three months she was kidnapped and incarcerated in the hospital be brought forward and punished, alongside the social worker of course.
The judge too he didn't help at all I think he was derelict in his duties he didn't do enough due diligence.
I watched this with total outrage and disbelief ....its so unbelievable and my heart broke for that family ...I hope they get some sort of justice
I have lived this. I almost lost my daughter and I never even got as far as this family did.
My child is still suffering due to being court ordered not to get my daughter help. I never felt so validated that the system is as corrupt as it is.
I’m a single mom. Our story will be coming soon.
Maya and her family are in my nightly prayers.
This documentary is very well done...heartbreaking and eye-opening.
Listen, I watched this just yesterday and it made me so mad that I had to take a walk despite it being 100 degrees outside. It will absolutely break your heart.
I have CRPS/RSD and the system does not know how to deal with us most times the ER is the last place someone that has CRPS/RSD wants to wind up because it is just so rare and most Drs will never see a case in their lifetimes, so they do not recognize it nor do they know how to treat it so they wind up doing more damage instead of helping.
Damn poor maya, i bet those doctors are still working and dont even remember maya
They are and still do
I watched 3 days ago, and I feel the same way you feel. The lawsuit that is going against J.H.Hospital is not looking good. Justice for Maya 😢
I watched this without knowing any background and when I heard that mom took life, it was gut wrenching. May god give the trio strength
Have not seen this, doesn't even show up on my Netflix home page, had to search to find it, but this is such a solid review that there's no doubt I'll be watching it.
Look at social worker! She needs mental help herself! But I think the most fault here is a judge. They are so taking for granted situation. They supposed to be fair and protect honest people, but he probably had more important things to do like golfing. All I have to say. Money! Money always more important that people’s life. I hope all these judges and investigators and doctors have some dreams about Mayas mom till the rest of there life’s.
It’s heart breaking they need justice they destroyed their beautiful family it’s painful
Ending her life was the worst she did though but at the same time helped Maya to be released 😢 but she could of moved out /divorced as they wanted to give Maya to the dad
thank you. I searched for this because the woman, the mother, is my friend's cousin and she told me about it. But then you ask about an awesome film. The last awesome film I saw is Women Talking, which was profound and sober. thank you
This was one of the most painful documentaries I've ever seen. Just gut wrenching
Well done. What a great job of giving this summary. I have seen this documentary and I also have an advanced case of CRPS for nearly 8 years. I have run into much of the same issues that this family went through with the medical system. Having a rare disease that usually the doctors and medical staff had never heard of which is amazing in itself because CRPS is listed as the most painful disease known to medical science. For years I was treated by the doctors and medical teams at hospitals and pain clinics as a drug seeking addict.
This was just appalling and heartbreaking. I was outraged that Miss Smith never had to admit she was wrong or went to jail. I pray for peace for all the victims of this.😢
I have been a pediatric nurse for 16 years in Philippines and in Qatar and have seen rare children medical conditions but before the doctors would conclude anything they would go through the medical history, extensive laboratories and examinations. While watching Maya's documentary my jaw drops because they have done nothing in the ER, they didn't even sit with the parents to discuss Maya's medical history and for 10 minutes of talking to Maya's parents they immediately concluded that Maya was a case of child abuse which I find odd and disturbing. The doctor who saw Maya at the ER could have contacted Maya's medical team who looks after her and who have diagnosed her. We do have what we could case conference where the primary doctor and the other doctors who are involved in the care and other Healthcare workers and the family would sit together and discuss the child conditions which never did happened here in Maya's case.
Hurt me so bad. So much bad until so much pain in my case!!! Im a mother i do everything for my kids. You so strong beata..you watch your kids in heaven now. God bless you maya
3:03 i'm really happy to hear that I'm not the only one who was having thoughts like that when watching this. It's so unfair and unjust ... I was infuriated and inundated with this overwhelming want to partake in some vigilantism 🤷🏽♀️
When my 2nd son was newborn he had broncial pneumonia was placed in ICU he is a mixed baby black and white he had Mongolian spots that looked like bruises all over his back and buttocks this was 1982 Thank God the Dr was aware of what they were but the nurses thought i was beating my newborn this was one horrible documentary i pray this family gets justice for all.
I have yet to watch this but I saw it pop up in my feed on Netflix. My grandfather (passed Dec'21) who had been estranged to my fmaily was abused by his so called caretaker and during this time frame began financial and outright abuse (non feeding, refusal to take to ER, etc). Numerous calls were made to APS (adult protective services) here in CA (around 9) in a 3 month time frame before we were made aware and every investigation by them were dismissive and found not credible. By the time we were able to go thru the courts to get a conservatorship enacted, his assets and estate had been moved and even worse when he was able to finally be admitted for care he had lost 40lbs and had a broken femur and dislocated hip from the negligence and abuse at the hands of these people. There were so many warning signs and evidence that no one bothered to raise enough of an alarm or do a proper investigation that in my opinion the quality of his life was cut extremely less to where he passed away unable to maintain a level of dignity we all should have when we leave this place. Don't ever let a bureaucrat or someone in a position of authority get in your way to make sure the care of your loved one is handled diligently and expertly.
these ppl have no sense of remorse, no consequences for their behaviour.... If there's no justice, there is no fear... There should be an organisation of anonymous people giving appropriate justice, when the system fails. And the system almost always fails. Ppl should be able to have some support battling those monsters.
Maya thrived for a year after treatment in Monterrey, Mexico. The US authorities didn't include that at all. Why not? Bias? I wish the doctor in Monterrey would speak out and prove the lackings in the US med system.
Mayas condition suddenly deteriorated because of a hurricane, that tells me it's psychological. More importantly, Maya suddenly was able to walk and did better when away from her mother. What does that tell you? Her mother cared more about the controle she had or didn't have over her than her actual condition.
@@adish7275 As a parent to a child who lives with CRPS, I feel the need to help educate others in understanding that it is not "psychological" for a person with a pain disease to experience an increase in symptoms with massive (and even minor) weather pattern changes due to changes in barometric pressure. A hurricane certainly can exacerbate symptom presentation. This information is readily available in many reputable sources. In addition, as Maya points out in the documentary, CRPS symptom presentation can flux day to day, even hour to hour, at times, therefore there are times where one's capabilities appear different than 2 hours later, or 2 days later. In addition, someone who lives with this type of diagnosis learns to function despite the pain, and often can appear to not be in pain to outsiders, when in reality they are in high pain, but have to push through in order to participate in life - I see this every day with my child with CRPS. I am not here to slam you, rather to encourage you to take a deeper dive into CRPS and other pain/neurological diseases so you can make informed commentary. Commentary like this only further perpetuates the exact problematic and inaccurate thinking this documentary is challenging!
@@adish7275you keep commenting the same thing on many posts. I’m a pediatrician and I have way more experience that you do in these situations. CRPS is a real disease. Just because you have zero knowledge about it, doesn’t make it psychological. This mom was trying to help her kid, so she has every single right to control the situation.
The best doc I seen this year!❤😢
My heart breaks for all these poor people whos lives have been destroyed for Ego and Money 😢
I want those heartless bastards responsible for all this hearbreak, the hospitals, the attorneys, social workers, judges, anyone involved in this abhorrent locked away. They took a life and likely several others, nobody should get away with murder.
1:16 this is a good explanation. I struggled with this, among other chronic conditions, and at my worst nobody could touch me. I couldn't even use blankets because it caused horrible pain. the pain from simply laying in bed/on a pillow was also very odd, I had pain in my feet like I was doing some crazy high impact thing from resting my foot on a pillow! I also got super swollen and red because of it
Advocating for your child, especially when you know the person they have put in charge of her care was arrested for child abuse is beyond appalling!
"When you hear hoofbeats think horse, not zebra.". This is a saying used in medicine about jumping to less likely conclusions. Munchausen by proxy diagnosis destroys families and brings horrendous damage and death. When you you contemplating it, consider that it is almost always wrong. My psychiatrist did several sessions with a Mom, who was a nurse, after having her daughter was taken away because another nurse "heard hoofbeats" and called it a zebra. After my doctor the expert concluded there was no Munchausen's, mother and daughter were reunited.
It’s so hard to believe that it’s real. I were crying and couldn’t bare putting myself in her place.
The fact they are lying about her feeling better and everything while she is saying otherwise tells me all I need to know
I am so happy to have seen it. It will help me in my profession. So so sad. I cried so much.
This video had me now want to document exactly how Beata did. If I had a child and even needing go take them to the doctor because of a fall I think I would record it even if it seems friendly and good. I just can't believe this happened to such an amazing mom.
I cried so much watching the documentary. It broke my heart.
Yes the system NEEDS to change!!! And listen to the symptoms the child is experiencing
Can't beliiiieeeve that a case like Gabriel Fernandez, was inveeeestigated by CPS on multiple occasions with several social workers and his parents STILL had custody of him, evem though he was tortured and in the end he was tortured to death by his parents, but theeese parents had their children taken and being thrown in jail in some cases for bringing their children to the hospital! I am appalled!
I dont know. They chose a ketamine coma with a 50% chance maya would die to alleviate temporary pain.....they had to go to mexico where there is less medical oversight and regulation to get it done. Seems worthy of investigation to me
This is just so sad I just finished watching the documentary I can’t stop crying 😢the state just pushed this woman to commit suicide all she ever wanted was to see her daughter
Probably a very tough movie to watch, but necessary to understand injustice in the world.
Incredible documentary!
they never called a social worker on us. but they did sick the police on us many, many times, threatening arrest- just because we couldn't get anyone to take us seriously, or even examine me!!! they assumed at 90% of ER visits that we were just after drugs.....it all makes it trauma, on top of already existing constant horrible trauma. i can't even watch the movie. it is just way too close to home. the trailer makes me cry.
It is very understandable why hospital has to come to that conclusion. As tricky as her disease CRPS is, their parents visited the girl holding holy water, a cross, wafers, rosary, demanded ketamine, a recreational drug. Her disease was a psychology condition, a discomfort caused by physical touch, and it is understandable to assume what crazy things religious people can do. So, the hospital suspected possible child abuse and reported it, the responsible officials could have investigated and made the right decision. Her mother has even inflicted physical injuries on herself before taking her own life. Everything was so messed up. Sometimes it is better to not be protective of someone who does not want to be protected.
You’ve got to see this movie!!!!!
Makes me furious that they destroyed that family. Accusing the mom for child abuse. The foster care system and CPS workers are a joke. I was taken away from my mom at 11. I was molested by my adoptive father and the CPS didn't believe me. My adoptive parents made sure I was in another state during the investigation . I was not allowed to be near a phone. I ended up getting kick out at 17. I tried reopening the case but somehow the case ( the video recording)was not documented. The investigator ghosted me. I tried talking to the head sheriff got ghosted by him too. Why not helped children who are actually being abused instead of destroying happy families.
🙏🙏this family gets justice!!
I don’t know guys. I would NEVER a ask a facility to put my child in a ketamine coma
Not saying all drs are bad, just saying like in all professions, in this case it only took a few drs, nurses and staff to show how uncaring and ego driven they were, exposing the entire hospital as corrupt and money driven!
Watching this was hard. I didn't know about the story before Netflix but I could see where it was going. The moms pain in the recording. I honestly don't understand the system in America. I also feel there was alot of biases based on the mom having a thick accent and not being American they were trying so hard to make her the bad guy. Eastern Europeans are just very direct and don't hold back and i believe this offended some staff at the hospital.
This was really sad and you can tell Beata was a great mom. But she knew they were never gonna let her kid come home to her
The stupidity of the masses is real. Giving your daughter 1000 ml of Katamine a day is insanely dangerous. Period, that was what Beata was doing Manchhauzen or not.
not mad about the length. i honestly thought it can be a series
As someone was has CRPS my heart breaks for this family and I understand wanting to take away that pain.
I do know this about Ketamine infusions, a pain specialist here in the US wanted to give me that very same treatment. My primary who fully advocates for my CRPS care objected to that treatment for one specific reason, if there is one mistep in the dosage it's fatal. That is something Maya's mom should fully know as a nurse herself and that is a huge huge risk. That is most likely where the notion of MBP accusation came from so I do understand from the hospital's POV in getting Child services involved, you're literally risking your child's life or anyone's for that matter going with Ketamine treatment.
I am disgusted with the notion that Maya is faking it and that her mother is said to have MBP. You do shift with symptoms day to day, hour to hour. CRPS has been coined as well the "Suicide disease" some take their own life over the pain.
Beata if a fierce woman even from the grave. RIP and thank you for exposing the establishment.
Dios mío que pena ! Como sufre esta familia. Ojalá que el 11 de septiembre del 2023 se les haga justicia 😢😮😭😭😭😭
Dude!....ThanksMuch!.....
I am terrified of the power of social workers. We live in a police state
😢 so sad to see how many this happens to.!!
One I don’t understand why they say her mum is harming her but not her brother??
Thank God, they won their case she was awarded $260 million
Yep. I went through it myself.
My daughter's primary told me, "Question everything."
This was so tragic
Absolutley gut wrenching painful and traumatic.
I was thinking why the fukkkk didn’t they listen to Maya doctors !!! The doctors said what was wrong and why she was on the drug !
If you do some digging into Sally Smith, that's what she does- ignores the medical team with the knowledge and does whatever she feels like
@@GENNi0606 she's trash isn't she. That is so unprofessional and unfair to patients.
Unethical practice is abhorrent.
Hundreds of families over 30 years...just evil
It's very relatable because that's the world we live in right now and it's only getting worse by the day and we have to stop somewhere, it's killing people.
Thanks to all the democrats and their voters.
@@sfstoryteller1227 It is both sides dude. I used to be really conservative till I started to see the donors these people take and say one thing and do another on both sides. Switched to independent slightly right leaning. I would say that 95% of ALL politicians rub me some kind of wrong way.
The pain of CRPS AKA RSDS ISN'T ALWAYS VISIBLE TO THE EYE UNFORTUNATELY IT'S FROM THE SPINE 😢
the part when only the dad and Kyle went to the bday party and came home .. i said to my self oh no pls don't .. hearing kyle in the background when Maya's dad was on the phone smh man
This is just a thought….in regards to CPS. Think how much easier/more convenient/safer/less risky/less work/less thinking/less activity it is to go to the hospital and follow up on a possible “problem “ versus going into these violent homes and DOING THE RIGHT THING. We’ve seen over and over the avoidance and mistreatment of cases where severe child abuse is going on. So for this CPS worker there are no risks, untidy filthy environments, possible violent interactions when these kids are hospitalized….and it’s been reported by staff. Apparently the doctors, judge and social workers consider it an open and shut case. I haven’t seen the documentary so I dare not speak too loudly on this, but nurse’s really don’t make those kind of decisions(prior nurse). I could see them getting blamed though!!! Also it’s very difficult to find a doctor liable and very few doctors will “OUT” a bad doctor. It must be drilled into them during their TRAINING.
Brittany Murphy's also late (ruminant?) husband was accused of doctor shopping too and maybe if there weren't laws against looking for 2nd and 3rd opinions on medical care, Brittany Murphy and her husband would still be alive.
