Jack Kowalski, the father of Maya, took the stand in the $220 million case against Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital on Monday.
He detailed to the jury the pain that Maya, whose civil case against the hospital became a Netflix documentary called ‘Take Care of Maya,’ felt.
In 2015, after seeing doctor after doctor, Maya remained in pain and unable to walk. Jack said that her mother, Beata, was desperate to help her.Last week, testimony focused on Maya's condition and her treatment plan before she was admitted to All Children's Hospital. CRPS is a rare pain disease that can follow an injury, and it’s tough to diagnose and sufferers are sometimes accused of faking their pain.
On Thursday, defense attorneys for Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital focused on Maya’s continued pain and questioned whether the ketamine was truly helping her. A judge ordered Maya to be sheltered at the hospital while the child abuse allegations were being investigated. She wasn’t allowed to be discharged to her family or another treatment facility and could not see her mother. A judge ordered her remain at the hospital under state custody.Beata Kowalski died by suicide about three months after Maya was taken into state custody.
