EP41: Medical Kidnapping and Ketamine

Published: Nov. 22, 2023, 5 a.m.

Picture yourself as an innocent hospital patient, frail and in need, caught in a sinister dance with ostensibly well-intentioned healthcare professionals who suddenly cease to listen, to perceive you as an individual with a voice and autonomy. Instead, they ensnare you in a nightmarish bureaucratic nightmare fraught with trauma, isolation, and physical, emotional, and psychological pain. Now, place a 10-year-old girl grappling with a severe illness at the center of this chilling narrative. In this episode, we delve into the profoundly devastating case of Maya Kowalski, who was effectively medically kidnapped and confined within a Florida hospital, and barred from seeing her parents for months. The consequences of subjecting a child to such cruel and inhumane treatment were nothing short of catastrophic\u2014for Maya and her entire family.\n \xa0\n Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater\n Patreon:\xa0www.patreon.com/psychopediapod\n Email:\xa0psychopediapod@gmail.com\n Website:\xa0www.psychopediapodcast.com\n \n The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.\xa0 Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.\xa0 As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or\xa0 timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments.\n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
