EP41: Medical Kidnapping and Ketamine

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—for Maya and her entire family.
