[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The documentary did not say how long it took her to walk on her own. It also didn’t say that she walked after many therapies. That’s speculation.

Why isn’t there any footage in the hospital or after she was discharged showing pain?  Clearly for feet to turn in, something was wrong. Especially since they were turned in while she was in the medically induced coma. But I do not think she needed the ketamine or trip to Mexico, which seemed like a very risky course of action.

I think the original ketamine prescribing doctor made the mom feel it was ketamine or a painful death, no other options.

Also, there was a lot that was left out - so we know there is more to the story. Why didn’t the current ketamine prescribing doctor testify at the hearings? Why didn’t he go to the hospital to see his patient or talk to the doctors at the hospital? The letter the prior doctor wrote to the court wouldn’t have been evidence, so why didn’t he go testify? And if a letter was written, even if not evidence, why wouldn’t the current ketamine doctor write it? [/quote]

I agree that there are questions about the doctor who told the mother that Maya would die a painful death.

As far as Maya's treatment, it was outlined in the Cut article cited earlier in the threat:

[quote]When Maya left All Children’s Hospital in January 2017, she weighed less than she did when she was admitted — a dark verdict on the separation test meant to detect Munchausen by proxy. She was so weak that it was difficult for her to sit up on her own, and Jack remembers having to put stuffed animals in the back seat of the car to support her body. At home, he says, Maya cried nonstop. Jack took her to physical therapy, installed solar panels to heat their pool for aquatherapy, and bought her a teacup Yorkie puppy. CRPS abates over time in most patients. [b]A year and a half later, as Jack watched, astonished, Maya stood up out of her wheelchair, picked up her crutches, and slowly made her way across the room. After 12 more months of swimming, yoga, and exercise, Maya took her first unassisted steps in four years. “I bawled,” Jack said.[/b]

Maya is now 16. Mature and well spoken, with wide brown eyes and blonde hair that falls just below her shoulders, she is as academically ambitious as ever, taking part in Duke University’s Talent Identification Program for gifted children. She manages her pain with a daily regimen of intensive exercise. “I still have pain, but it’s not as severe as it once was,” she says, “and I’m forever grateful for that.” In March, competing in her first figure-skating tournament in five years, she took first place.[/quote][/quote]

Things like this make it seem like it’s very slanted: “When Maya left All Children’s Hospital in January 2017, she weighed less than she did when she was admitted — a dark verdict on the separation test meant to detect Munchausen by proxy. [b]She was so weak that it was difficult for her to sit up on her own[/b], and Jack remembers having to put stuffed animals in the back seat of the car to support her body. At home, he says, Maya cried nonstop. Jack took her to physical therapy, installed solar panels to heat their pool for aquatherapy, and bought her a teacup Yorkie puppy. [u]CRPS abates over time in most patients. [/u]A year and a half later, as Jack …”

This was not what a single video showed from inside the hospital. She pain free and with normal energy. She’s a very thin person, even now.

Crps abates over time for most patients? The first ketamine doctor should lose his license.

How do you know she was pain-free in the hospital? Are you assuming that if she isn't screaming, she isn't in pain?

Also, CRPS may "abate" over time, but not necessarily without treatment. That doesn't mean that the pain goes away, just that it gets better. Living with constant 4/10 pain is an improvement from a 10/10, but it still interferes with daily life.[/quote]

Her demeanor was completely different from when she was in pain on the video. She certainly wasn’t in the kind of pain on admission when mom said she needed ketamine. No one would ever think, from seeing those videos at the hospital, that the child needed ketomine.

The point is that mom claimed she needed ketomine or would die. She didn’t need it. She didn’t have it in the hospital and wasn’t writhing in pain. The first and second ketomine doctors are culpable. The child looks like she was videoed 24/7 at the hospital. It appears she was much better pain wise after admission, and without that drug. [/quote]

So you have determined that Maya was faking her pain?

PS - I'm not defending the ketamine or die claim. If doctors told the mom that, that statement should be examined.[/quote]

No, I haven’t determined that. I am saying that the claimed pain in the hospital has nothing to back that up. I don’t think she faked it. I think, overtime, she’s been persuaded by others as to how it was in the hospital after her parents were barred. [/quote]
