Topics
Beata Kowalski: 女儿Maya患有严重的复杂性区域疼痛综合征（CRPS），需要大量氯胺酮治疗以控制剧烈疼痛。医院和相关机构的指控是错误的，剥夺了她作为母亲照顾孩子的权利，并最终导致其自杀。她坚信自己为女儿所做的都是为了减轻她的痛苦，并寻求一切可能的医疗手段。她对医院的治疗方案表示不满，认为他们未能充分理解Maya的病情和治疗需求。她认为医院的治疗方案不当，导致Maya的病情恶化。她对医院的指控感到委屈和愤怒，认为这是对她的不公正对待。 Andrea Dunlop: Netflix纪录片《照顾玛雅》对事件的描述存在片面性和遗漏，未能呈现案件的完整信息。Beata Kowalski的行为存在诸多疑点，例如多次提及Maya的死亡，以及试图将Maya的病情描述为晚期以获得更多药物。此外，多位医疗人员曾对Beata Kowalski的医疗行为表示担忧，这进一步加剧了对医疗虐童指控的合理性怀疑。纪录片中对Dr. Kirkpatrick和Dr. Sally Smith的描述也存在偏差。 Netflix纪录片《照顾玛雅》：该纪录片主要从Beata Kowalski的角度出发，呈现了其为女儿寻求治疗的艰辛历程，以及其与医疗机构之间的冲突。纪录片暗示Beata Kowalski被错误指控医疗虐童，并导致自杀，同时暗示存在全国性的医疗虐童虚假指控现象。 匿名儿科医生：医院的医生和社工不负责决定是否将儿童安置，该决定由法官做出。法官的决定是基于医生的报告和证据做出的，这并非可疑之处。 Bea Yorker: 强制举报人有义务举报疑似虐待行为，而非验证虐待行为是否确实存在。只有具备相应资质的人员才能诊断特定疾病，护士的职责是举报，而非诊断。护士可以识别和确认虐待行为，但不能诊断施虐者背后的动机。 Dr. Kirkpatrick: 他坚持认为Maya患有CRPS，需要高剂量氯胺酮治疗，并对医院拒绝提供这种治疗表示批评。他认为医院的治疗方案不当，导致Maya的病情恶化。他为Kowalski一家提供免费服务，并向Netflix制作方提供了“路线图”。 Dr. Cantu: 在进行氯胺酮昏迷疗法前应尝试其他治疗方法。氯胺酮昏迷疗法应用于全身性CRPS患者，而Maya的病情并非如此。氯胺酮昏迷疗法存在高达50%以上的死亡风险。 Jessica Stevens: Beata Kowalski是通过其父亲介绍认识Dr. Kirkpatrick的。 Dr. Carol Jenny: 在医疗虐童案件中，施虐者可能会寻找那些愿意提供极端治疗方案的医生。某些医生会反复诊断同一种疾病，这在医疗虐童案件中很常见。长期医疗虐待会对儿童造成严重的心理和生理影响。

Shownotes Transcript

As the Maya Kowalski case heads to trial, we dig into the massive trove of documents about this case and begin to unpack what we know about what really happened during Maya Kowalski’s fateful stay at Johns Hopkins All Childrens in October 2016.  

The Netflix documentary about the case—and the prevailing media narrative---would have you believe that Maya was ripped from her parents by a corrupt system, and that this could happen to any parent of a sick child. But did Maya really have a deadly disease for which she required the massive amounts of ketamine and other drugs she was being given? Was the hospital unfairly biased against Beata Kowalski because she was difficult, or was something more sinister at play?  

We talk to national law enforcement expert on medical child abuse, Detective Mike Weber, as well as a Florida pediatrician who helps us unravel some of the myriad strange details about Maya’s medical history.  

The beginning of our multi-part deep dive into the case reveals the shocking events that led up to the family separation.
