Take Care of Maya

Maya Kowalski, now 17-years-old, became the center of a nationwide controversy after being admitted to JHACH in October 2016 with a rare diagnosis: complex regional-pain syndrome (CRPS).

 She was 10 -years old at the time. She had been treated by the hospital 17 times for the complex regional pain syndrome. The hospital staff was skeptical of her mother Beata Kowalski’s insistence on high doses of ketamine for treatment. They accused Beata of child abuse. And decided Maya was faking her illness.
