[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do feel terribly for the family and I don’t think anyone disagrees that this could’ve been handled better, but in reality I think this would’ve gone down pretty similarly no matter which hospital they took her to. I don't doubt Maya has CRPS, but (as a former RN) alarm bell after alarm bell would go off if I had a 10 year old patient come in and her mom insist she's going to die if we didn't give her a super dangerous dose of ketamine. (Seriously, 1000mg is freaking insane, to the point of criminality.) There was unmistakably another layer to the situation than just a mother’s devotion to her daughter. The way the doctors and court system handled everything was wrong and traumatic, but I really think Beata needed to be flagged down somehow, an intervention needed to occur on behalf of Maya.[/quote] This. There is nothing said after the hospital release about the ketamine dosage. We see the child do ok in the hospital by video and after we see great progress. The only videos of crying and pain were all from before. There is no question she had crps or other condition. All you need to do is see her turned in feet. That can’t be faked or subject to suggestion - especially since her feet turned in even while comatose. So while the FL doctor did diagnose her, he recommended a terrible treatment. No evidence she researched crps and other treatments and doctors. No evidence she tried anything else. This was an obsessive mother whose MO was that she would do anything to help her kid. The dad backed off and she handled it all. The mom was wrong - very wrong - in not finding other alternatives in the US. Bc the research shows it can adjust for the better, on its own. The dad was also very wrong in that he knew his wife was pushy and he just accepted this without question. Would your spouse just allow you to put your child in a coma and pump them up with a massive amount of drugs in a frightening procedure that is not approved here? The hardest part of their journey was no diagnosis. Once they had one, I don’t understand why there is no notebook or audio/video recording evidence she sought out any other options. so while watching the brother cry was sad…so was watching the child in the coma and waking up from it. This needed to be reported to cps and the ketamine treatments to the child needed to stop. It appears that happened from the story because I’d assume they’d have said if she was still on the high dose (and even higher as she tolerated more). Once it went to CPS, they can make a finding. It was up to the court to make judgment based on that finding. Why didn’t the child’s lawyer ask for another outside evaluation? Or speak or subpoena to the two ketamine doctors. How do I know they didn’t? I don’t. What I do know is the main ketamine doctor didn’t testify. He wrote an inadmissible letter to the court. That’s it. If they spoke to him, they realized he isn’t helpful and they wanted him far away from the judge. Another thing that bothered me was the allegation that the cps doctor sat on another kid. Zero details. Zero information about any repercussions to her about that. Why? It made her look horrible but without additional information, we can’t judge. Why didn’t the documentary provide it. Maybe the kid was biting or hitting others or her and she was restraining him. Again, why no details?[/quote]
