The Kowalski v. Johns Hopkins verdict is a legal travest

OP here. To my knowledge, hospitals have very strict protocols about preventing medical errors. For instance when nurses give medications, they need to check the 5 rights first. Right[b] patient, [b]right[b] medication, [b]right[b] time, [b]right[b] dose and [b]right[b] route. All those prevention protocols are required by law. Medical malpractice cases don't make our healthcare system safer. They make people afraid to become doctors because they are afraid of being sued.

The other thing is people sue for plenty of other ridiculus reasons. A couple of years, my sister decided the school the district wanted to place my niece was not a good school. My niece goes to a private state-funded school for autistic kids. While she didn't sue she did get an attorney to bully the district into placing my niece in a different school. Who is she, a non-educator, to decide that a school still allowed to be open is not a good school?

I googled my sister's name and found a YouTube video of her in a zoom meeting hosted by a local non-profit. She told her story about getting an attorney and encourages other parents to "advocate" for their child. "Advocate" in this context means to disregard the advice of trained professionals and push for what you want until the school or district provides it. Imagine if diabetics told their doctors "well no doc, I know my body best and I'm telling you this dose of insulin is not right for me." They'd all be dead. Yet in the special needs parent world this behavior is often encouraged and praised. I also found out that federal law requires schools to pay for attorney fees for special-ed related cases if the parents win. I don't want my tax dollars to go to parents who [b]choose to hire an attorney to get what they want.

You're missing the part where the doctors were acting in bad faith. I don't get how you could be defending what they did to Maya or the steps they took to keep her from her family, religion, and everything else that gave her even a smidge of comfort. On top of that, their treatments were vastly ineffective and she was in constant, excruciating pain. Her mom committed suicide, cuz she thought they were gonna kill her daughter in that hospital and it was the only way they'd let her out.

The judge in the case made it clear that calling CPS or the court putting her in protective custody were not things that damages could be claimed for. It was solely the lengths to which JHACH went in carrying out court orders and the evidence they had in misdiagnosing her in the first place.

This isn't a case of someone going through something fairly routine and being sue-happy, what they went through was truly horrific on a number of levels.

I have an autistic child and applaud your sister for being the best advocate for hers. You sound insane and really evil OP. I hope your sister cut you out of her life.

You sound VERY young. You have to be to have a perspective such as this hold agency in your brain. This story is not about malpractice, per say, it's about child negligence agents, in some states like here, Florida, who are making money off of opening these cases. Thats what Dr. Sally did. Think of the movie "I acare A Lot", if you haven't seen it, watch it. Maya had a diagnosis, she was taking the proper treatment fir that diagnosis, Dr. Sally lied about being told, by another medical professional that Maya did indeed have this & if she went down this road needlessly destruction would occur, and it did. Dr. Sally was given far too much trust & power, Miss Cindy was a convicted child abuser of a previous patient that was then assigned to be Mayas advocate, held her down, took her clothes off to her skivvies, & took photos of her, while she was screaming. The parents had no contact with her at that time, nor had they in a while, what point was to be had from that? The way the doctors & nursing staff lied to her, ignored her, called her a liar, the way the doctors group chatted about her mother after she died-it was DISGUSTING. I think when Beata killed herself they realized they'd better wrap this up quick but the damage was done. She never got to see her mother again, she was emotionally traumatized by Cindy and everyone else, but then, when the Kowalski family said-"Enough", they fi d out that the entire over 3 month hospital stay was charged to the insurance company as the very disease they claimed Mayas mother had made up, which totalled over 45k per month. This family wasn't awarded 7 million, they were awarded 214 million dollars, but let me be clear. It could be 214 billion and I guarantee that little girl would trade it all for her mom & her mental health back. The family almost went bankrupt, after paying lawyers, bills, the husband was a retired fireman so he wasn't working, medical bills, I can't IMAGINE..now she's going to have medical bills the rest of her life that is worse because of what happened, psychology bills, mental anguish, we need hospitals but hiw is she going to trust them? You are speaking from a very naive POV, to blindly trust, which is what most people do when it comes to the police, doctors, nurses, when in reality they are humans, too, they hold biases, they can be cruel, miserable, greedy, & glutinous, just like the rest of us, and thinking differently will set you up for failure. The first mistake Flirida made is allowing child neglect to be monetized because guess what? They aren't the only family this happened to. Try over 100 families reached out that were put through the ringer, lives destroyed, one ir both in prison, only for charges to be dropped or cases to be agreed to. It's so disgusting. Sally was making money off this, plain & simple. Most of the families couldn't afford going after the hospital but they made a mistake with the Kowalskis because they barely could, now families are able to speak up, be heard, it's the newest epidemic. I'm not saying all cases are this, but it does seem to be that CPS tends to go after children who don't need their assistance while those who do fall through the cracks or are ignored. Thankfully, Beata, Mayas mom, who was an RN documented EVERYTHING with recordings, videos, handwritten manuscripts, receipts, faxes, paperwork-and she refused signing the case management telling her to do these things so she can get Maya back because she did nothing wrong & upon signing that all liabilities are immediately taken off the hospital. It's a sick game. She refused and in the end, because of her due diligence & thouroughness in wanting to protect her daughter, it's literally THE reason they one, that and the fraudulent billing the hospital made. I wonder if losing the $214million lawsuit was worth the $120k they received for her captivity? Doubtful. You've gotta wonder, though, seeing as they turned a profit in 22 & 23, with reserves of over $35 million, which is more on the rarer side, how much of that money was doing this very thing to families? How much money did they make on abusing families & permanently scarring them? I think that truly researching topics before claiming such aggregious wrongdoings would behoove you, in the future, as this is not only hurtful to those out there who have gone through it, but it's wrong. It's flat out wrong-and opinions do NOT take the place of facts. Opinions decipher how you feel about facts, but will never substitute for them.
