 Maya Kowalski tells her story in a lawsuit against St. Petersburg Hospital :-

 

Maya Kowalski, who was just 10 years old at the time, testified in court about her experience at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. She had been in the hospital for about a week, suffering from severe pain and constipation. Her mother had to leave for work but planned to visit the next day. However, a judge ordered that Maya be separated from her parents and stay at the hospital based on a report of suspected medical child abuse.

Maya spoke about feeling scared and lonely in the hospital, isolated from her family. She said that doctors and nurses did not believe her symptoms were real. She also mentioned that her phone calls with her mother were supervised by a social worker who seemed unsupportive.

During her stay, Maya endured painful physical therapy that worsened her condition. She was still in the hospital three months later when her father, brother, and a family priest came to tell her that her mother had taken her own life.

Maya's family filed a lawsuit against the hospital, seeking compensatory and punitive damages. They allege that the hospital mistreated Maya, caused severe emotional distress to the family, and fraudulently billed her insurance company for treatment she didn't receive.

Maya's testimony is part of an ongoing civil jury trial, which has garnered significant attention due to the nature of her case. She described her pain as a constant burning sensation, comparing it to having gasoline inside her body, and explained how even minor medical issues would intensify her suffering.

The trial has also focused on how Maya eventually regained her ability to walk and return to school without the use of ketamine. Additionally, it's been noted that medical staff are required by state law to report any suspicion of child abuse.
