Maya Kowalski was ten years old when her father brought her to Johns Hopkins All Children\'s Hospital in October of 2016. The previous year, Maya had been diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome which caused her excruciating pain. Consistent therapy and ketamine treatments had gotten Maya\\u2019s condition under control, but she would have flare ups from time to time, and one of these flare ups brought her to the emergency room at All Children\'s Hospital, complaining of pain in her stomach. Maya would remain at the hospital for the next several months, against the wishes of herself and her parents, lawyers would later say. Her mother Beata Kowalski was accused of neglect and medical abuse, and by the time Maya was finally allowed to go home, her mother was dead, having taken her own life after being forbidden from seeing her sick daughter for 87 days. Maya\\u2019s family would go on to sue Johns Hopkins All Children\'s Hospital, claiming it\\u2019s actions led to Beata Kowalski taking her own life, devastated that she could not see her daughter and that she was being accused of abusing Maya. The Kowalski family also alleged that Maya was medically kidnapped, battered and abused while in the hospital\\u2019s care. This lawsuit would bring to the light deeper issues at Johns Hopkins, issues that affected far more than the Kowalski family and lead many of us to ask the question; if you can\\u2019t trust those who take an oath to do no harm, who can you trust?
