The biggest problem was I never heard one employee or lawyer show one ounce of contrition. They were arrogant, combative and unapologetic until the bitter end.
Her mom was the problem. The hospital staff was doing their job.
@@_Sunmaker_wrong answer
250 million dollar wrong answer
@@peterciaccio6147they walked into a hospital demanding a lethal dose of drugs for her talking about Mexican ketamine comas. They presented sketchy
So true,what a bunch of jerks
No matter how much money was awarded I’m sure the family would rather still have mum in their lives😔
Yes, thank you! This is what irks me about the "they were awarded way too much money" complaints. I'd say, take back your $270 million if you can bring me my mother back...
The point is: that much money sends a big fat message and vindicates the Kowalskis vs an institution that was still arguing the jury got it wrong, even after verdict.
I was raised in the foster care system. People need to wake up to the fact that case workers are just normal people and can be as toxic and super power tripping as any other field. I know this very well and more safety measures need to be put in place.
I feel that the case worker in this case was a full-blown narcissist.
Maya's Mom wasn't able to take care of her in the days before her death, but she made damn sure Maya will be taken care of from now on. Now you can Rest Peacefully Sweet Mama ❤
Like Anderson said, “they still don’t get it” and it is 100% frustrating.
Who's going to send a
loved one to that hospital
Also donations will fall everyone saw
The bad reputation goes with this hospital now. Who want to send a child to this hospital in the risk their child can become a hostage
The culture at this hospital has not changed at all. The video of 2 current execs congratulating themselves for their “care” of Maya puts the cherry on top of the hubris of all the staff and doctors that testified. They absolutely refuse to examine their own behavior and the damage it caused. It’s frightening to see these seemingly normal, educated professionals behave as gossiping, abusive tyrants to a 10 yr old girl and her family. Even in the face of all the evidence to the contrary and even when they have literally tormented an innocent woman to death, they cling to their view like rabid dogs to a bone. Their culture has made them into monsters.
So we'll said!!!
The entire health system is that way. Hopkins doctors think they know everything. The health system is run by old physicians who work there on the board basically until the die. It’s a travesty.
They dont care about the money. It's a drop in the bucket. They will never admit they were wrong. The only way to stop these injustices is to refuse care at their facilities. You could not pay me to take my kid to ANY hospital that has these new "medical child abuse units " Their sole goal is to find as many cases as possible. They are wrong WAY more than they are right and the for whatever reason think they have the authority to just hold someone's kid. No cps, no cops just decide you are a danger...just like they did to Maya . This happens ALL THE TIME when dealing with hmrhose units and most families are too scared after they get their kids back to do anything for fear of retaliation. Those units are not acting with any authority. It's criminal they are getting away with it.
That's because they will appeal No ones getting paid
@lori, True comment! I worked in a close to 900-bed hospital for 22 years filled to the max with EGO’s of physicians and nurses alike!
I actually get the feeling this family didn’t do if for the money. But actually get justice for their mom.
Anti make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else ever again
It also raised awareness of what happened. I want other hospital to see this as a warning of what can go wrong when you have a bunch of horrid narcs with too much power abuse this power and destroy a family.
Ya right.
Jurors being able to ask questions is such a good idea. The question as to who punative damages are paid to clearly shows lawyers can forget to explain things to lay people.
I agree, I've never heard of jurors being able to do this and I think it's ridiculous that it's not universal
I wish they did that in Canada! That shocked me but I’m for it!!
@@mahalalettvin7675I’ve only see it in laticia stauch trial and Lori daybell trial
@@mahalalettvin7675it is the judge that makes sure that the questions are related to the trial! It is a good thing!
..right? ..1st trial i watched that i experienced it but it should be across the board imo ..if you miss something/don’t understand something you cannot ask a fellow juror/lawyer/judge during a break 🙄 - it just makes sense
When it comes to intent, the hospital not only believe Beata was “abusing” Maya they also believed Maya was faking her symptoms. They intentionally did things to make Maya do certain things that caused her more pain and suffering. This is clear intent to cause harm
And Ms Bedy's body contact would've been excrutiatingly painful to Maya, esp since she had no proper meds and HER expert doctors' records were dismissed.
Again, clear intent to cause harm.
And, Smith, Bedy, & supervisors are clearly Hippocratic failures. They completely ignored "Do no harm".
The tears and sobbing of Maya and her brother when the verdict was read was completely shattering😢❤
Wonderful coverage of this trial. Seeing Maya and her brother sob was heart wrenching. Those poor kids lost so much. Peter you've got the best law channel. I hope it blesses you and your family and law firm the way you have blessed your subscribers
You know watching these kids break down should be proof enough to the naysayers that are saying they're doing this just for monetary gain..imo
AGREED
I didn’t care for the cameras “staying” on Maya, as Peter mentioned.
But, the reality is her brother LOST his Mother too & I found it sweet & touching to see her wrap her arms around him, seemingly sharing this victory.
He lived this nightmare as much as anyone else in that family; not to mention the time & attention he likely, understandably went without due to having a seriously ill sibling. Add this travesty, living with parents FIGHTING a HOSPITAL, tasked with CARING for his sister & ultimately losing his Mom, in a horrific manner … their father losing his wife.
Maybe the whole of this hospital, every Dr, every nurse or even Administrator is NOT a heartless monster. They may want to consider seeking work elsewhere. I would NEVER want my name & professional integrity associated with such an obviously callous organization.
They trusted them with the life, health & well being of their child & they were demonized, falsely accused & treated like garbage. I pray this hospital will finally set this family free & allow them to begin to heal, with a swift settlement.
My husband and I won a lawsuit in Alabama and the company had insurance and they wanted to claim bankruptcy instead of paying, but it turned out their insurance wasn’t going to pay legal fees etc if they filed bankruptcy so we wound up getting the money.
I like what Dad said " parents need to be allowed to make the decision for their child". Everything they did turned out was prescribed.
And whatever about the K, Maya is neither dead or dumb now. It's a moot point.
It wasn’t just hyperbole when Anderson said, “they still don’t get it”
I have had CRPS for over 10 years. I have not only lived this but I still am. I hope this brings change for compassionate care for patients and their families, particularly with people who have rare diseases like CRPS
My chronic pain is in my feet .I can't believe how manyask me like you are walking just fine etc etc .what they don't realize is I have good days an then I go if I can the next day I can hardly get to the bathroom .thank goodness I have a good Dr now . But believe me so many just don't get it . Prayers 🙏🙏
Do you eat Ketamine as well?
@@FlappyBelly Shut up.
Have you used alternate pain meds? Does OT or PT help? Does anything help you?
@@peggypasson8794 I have severe arthritis on my foot. I haven't quite my part time jib but I will soon. Anti inflammatory take pain from a 5 to a 3 sometimes and only during the day. Can't imagine the pain from crps.
Once again I had to fast forward through the verdicts. I can’t handle the emotion. This was a fight for their mother more than anything else. I’m just so happy for them to get that validation that they needed so badly. I hope we see the kids and their dad start living again!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is how I am with victim impact statements. After watching the whole trial and sentencing I'll come back a day or so later to absorb the human impact.
I’m sure it feels like a huge weight off their shoulders now. I’m happy they were able to find and fund a lawyer who was willing to fight so hard for them all these years. I know there has to be plenty of other families who wanted to do the same but couldn’t afford it. I hope John Hopkins and all other hospitals change their behavior. This is NOT okay. You can’t use CPS as a weapon just because you want to treat a patient the way YOU want to & want to get rid of your roadblock (the parents who actually care).
God i certainly hope so. This poor family has been put through the wringer.
Or just call CPS as a CYA move. Which happened to my family when I brought in a kid with ITP. (A known abuse mimic.)
I started on October 24th when I was home sick for a week. I watched it on Law and Lumber. I listened to podcasts about it prior to the trial. I'm glad I got to watch history being made.
The strangest part was theybsidnt even ise CPS. The hospital took it upon themselves to decide she shouldnt be in that home. They literally held her hostage. They deserve everynpenny and worst of all she has to live without her mom forever. That was most definitely the hospitals fault.
The lawyer knew how much money he'd make, lol
I was crying with them when the verdicts were being read. I think this is a MAJOR exposure for all hospitals because some pretty shady stuff happens at many different hospitals around the country. I’m really happy about the outcome of this case, however, the defense really didn’t even have a great defense. The people they brought on the stand were so defensive, cold, and nothing to support a valid argument or defense. The defense lawyers really had nothing left but desperation and begging. They got pretty hammered.
Those medical child abuse units need dismantled. They rarely get it right and they destroy good families...and if the family says anything the fear retaliation.
Having been a case manager for Florida DCF, specifically in Pinellas County, I can attest to how badly our child welfare system is broken. I had a handful of cases that involved Sally Smith & Cathy Bedy & will say that neither one of them have any business working with children & families. The amount of power that you are given is great & unfortunately, some become power hungry which can cause you to view things through the wrong lense.
If the hospital & the defense counsel are doubling down & are "heartbroken" for the staff that participated in MK's care, why did they let Cathy Bedy go?? If the hospital believes that she provided stellar care, you'd think she'd still be employed with them...
I hope Maya takes this win and does something great, no doubt that she will come up with something to honor her mom. She could be such a great advocate and can create a foundation and platform to help others, there are so many possibilities and on the flip side this could help Maya, and her family find healing and purpose as well. They have an army behind them and I hope they feel the support!!
I know I hope so too. Watching her sitting at the attorney’s table yesterday, I thought to myself, I wonder if she’ll become an attorney
@@ellebooth9171I think she’ll open a CRPS Foundation
I think she is extremely intelligent and would make a great lawyer.
Bless Maya. She's had such a difficult life and she's such a dear, sweet young woman. ❤
Tone deaf? This man is unconscionable! He feels sorry for the people that wreaked $260,000,000 damage on this family!? A wife and mother is gone forever! No amount of money will bring her back. What a pathetic person. I feel sorry for HIS family!
Thank you for bringing this case to us and sticking with it. 😊
AND I don't care if he is just doing his job, he chose to be a defense lawyer. He's not working for the DA's office.
"In Your Hearts ???" The Jury Had Their Hearts In The Right Place.
After 35 yrs working in Medical Field and can honestly state that if i were still working, Id be fired. I was getting in trouble for spending to much time with my patients 10 yrs ago and got worse with shutdown. My friends who are still working are opting out of hospitals and working in Physicians Clinics. Many are leaving medicine completely. Its sad we are losing great loving people who wont play their game. This case has brought out my motherly instincts and wanted to fight. Poor family. God bless that family.
I am a travel nurse and I have been to countless hospitals. You would be surprised how many social workers / medical staff draw conclusions and can’t / won’t get off that idea
Do you think social workers/medical staff have to make impossible and important decisions very quickly in order to protect a child or not step in and send children home to see if their are wrong.
As a Trauma/ICU/Emergency RN I’ve had to make a LOT of decisions very quickly because someone’s physical life was in my hands. I’ve had to deal with Social Workers et al with regard to whether or not a child was in danger or not due to a parent. Good Social Workers, nurses and doctors are able to get as much info from parents, previous Dr, previous treatment etc. In this case ..I would have made a phone call for sure, depending on what I heard from all of them. I would NEVER have done what happened in this case!!
I’ve been watching from the beginning. I saw the documentary on Netflix, so I was already Team Maya. Near the end of the trial, I watched it again, after seeing some of principal players in “real life”, including Judge Carrol. There is no doubt that JHACH caused the death of Beata. By the way, Ketamine is becoming more accepted as treatment for intense pain. This is the best result imaginable.
ketamine COMAS are never used for anything except maybe ptsd. The case was biased and sad because now drs and hospitals who re supposed to protect re going to be AFRAID to report true child abuse like this.
Love the new Intro & Outro. I live local in Pinellas County FL and when my little sister died in a tragic car accident on US 19 and Gulf to Bay on 3/9/23 her baby who was only 2 was in the vehicle . The baby was taken by ambulance to JH and I rushed there so upset as I just lost my baby sister and on my way leaving the hospital with a baby that is now my heart and with my family…❤️🥺I received a call from a detective at the Pinellas County Sheriff’s office indicating a “ call” was made Indicating my niece showed signs of abuse. I was EXTREMELY upset. My sister loved her baby. She was her whole world, 🥺 she was covered in my sisters blood it was just a complete effing nightmare with this hospital.
She was just in a car wreck ? Geez
So my question is has it happened before ?
Wow, first of all I'm sorry you lost your sister. Second, I'm sorry you had to deal with that ordeal while dealing with your sister's loss. Do you know if Dr. Smith was involved?
Amazing. I'm sorry for the entire situation.
I 'm so sorry about your sister. ❤ How upsetting it must have been to get a call like that! That is horrible. ❤
Maya & family finally get justice! No amount of money can replace your mother, especially while you’re still growing up. Hospital is definitely liable!!!
As a NICU mom, I’m disgusted by the arguments against punitive damages that the defendants made.
I have been watching this trial from the beginning. My heart goes out to this family.
Lawtube and RA are the places where I watched this verdict. The victim blaming in Law & Crime's live chat was awful.
That was a rough crowd lol. I watched on a Florida news channel so I could just watch the trial uninterrupted.
Me too. As well as Law @ Lumber. He is great too
I was watching the trial and chat on Law & Crime yesterday. So many people were bashing Maya, her family, and each other in the chat. Very toxic. The mods are great, and removed a lot of comments, but they couldn't possibly catch them all. I like this chat better, when I can catch a live. Way more level headed and respectful people in here.
i bet JH with they would have let the parent’s take her out of their hospital against medical advice! They were grossly negligent in the end - now, they pay!
In documentary Kyle said I keep praying and nothing happens.... Gods timing. He is an on time God.
The amount of people out there supporting hospital is unvelievable. Just as unbelievable it was to do that to a family.
Most of these people are stuck on the money side of things sadly
Mandatory report, yes. But then taking the investigation into your own hands, i.e. Sally Smith, for the sake of exercising power, NO.
I am disapointed that Mr. Hunter was disapointed. For future references of jury duty, now we can see that it's easier for hospital to take a 260mil loss than admit wrong doing and apologize.
The whole trial was about raising awareness that the Hospital (and all hospitals) need to do better for their patients, particularly the children and their families. Doctors sometimes can become all too arrogant. Telling jurors that the Hospitals “cures children” is exactly what the trial is telling them that they are not good enough at.
AMEN. and that's why I loved the final rebuttal.
I feel like their should always be more jurors than lawyers.
Rest easy Beata!!
Amen to that. I believe there are angels above us I dedicated to the Kowalski family Alabama 😊
As a nurse I come from a different perspective. I have worked with John Hopkins and had positive experiences but this case just broke my heart. I hope that there is more compassion for individuals that suffer from chronic pain. I hope this spurs change back to patient focused care.
I’m concerned that hospital staff will not get involved anymore then they absolutely have to. FCS are as responsible as anyone else but you can’t get a huge settlement from them.
I am praying it too will help thousands of chronic pain & now pain patients in general! Also for stricter laws to prevent abuses! As a former nurse I only saw one child abused. The child was dying after 3 liver transplants. The chief doctor wanted to give her Benadryl for sever screaming pain! I did get a different Dr. who order morphine.
@@melindarogers6332 I’m so glad u advocated for your patient. We shouldn’t have to fight for pain relief for individuals that need it. I’m sure u provided the family with so much comfort.
@@conniemulkey6265 from my experience hospitals are not great at pivoting. I’m concerned that the cost will trickle down to staffing and equipment but I’m hopeful that I’m wrong. I really have had very good experiences with John Hopkins just not a ton of faith in people putting people before money.
4 weeks and I'm delighted for Maya she got redemption. I kniw coz from 18 to 28 I suffered grand Mal petite Mal and other types of seizures and I had to hear it's hysterical and no treatment until I had a non stop grand Mal on the hidpital floor. From that date meds and seizures went away. Took 10 years to restart my life. So ya Mayas victory was my victory.
What an ordeal - you certainly went through the worst, and for ten years. Thanks for sharing, and I'm happy to hear you were victorious.
@twoandtwo4 it us good I found work finally and meds stopped seizures. It did affect my life in that I wouldn't have children coz I didnt want to pass it on. I never married and live a solitary life. I'm over the moon for young Maya. Her mom RIP
I just watched the Netflix movie. How did JHACH hire Mrs.Bety after she had been arrested for child abuse?? She attacked a boy and then put her knees on his chest. The other employees got her off him and called the police.
That was not admitted but Beata and Jack knew this!!! Yet, she was with their daughter and they were under court orders with limited or no contact.
No wonder Anderson and Whitney were so adamant about their case.
I’m so grateful the jury was attentive and knew it HAS TO STOP!
That woman is crazy!! Too bad it wasn't allowed in. Happy for the Maya they won
I think because she wasn’t charged or the charges were dropped.
THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED AGAIN
Cathi Bedy was arrested for physically assaulting another child. How many children is too many children in regards to how many should be allowed to be hurt vs receive care? No children should be allowed to be hurt, is the only answer bc these are the only ones we know about. What about the ones who couldn’t speak or didn’t know they could have a voice? No number is too high when it comes to violating human rights and the innocence of a child.
I would be interested to see were you found the arrest information so I can read it as well. Interested
@@conniemulkey6265 it was in the Tampa bay times I believe. I just googled Cathrine Bedi arrest. I don’t have access to the article anymore bc after a few times of reading it they ask you to subscribe.
Win for CRPS awareness….We do not always have obvious wounds. Friends and family get worn out … Now they can see it is brain illness, not attention seeking
They feel so bad for the employees that took care of Maya.... WHY DID THEY FIRE THEM???
Fire who?
I love the title for this video--The Jury Took Care of Maya-very clever!☮️❤️
As far as the settlement goes, yes the hospital did make 1 or 2 but they said we will not admit guilt to mom's S. I do believe that no matter what the money was offered they wanted the hospital to admit or be held accountable for her death to some degree.
Watched it everyday or night here in Australia. As much as I could before I fell asleep then watched the play during the day. I was happy for Maya.
I watched the whole trial save part of a few days I had doctor's appointments. I watched all day then watched lawyers recaps most evenings. It was impossible for me not to get invested in what happened to this family and learning the legal issues for things I didn't understand, I just wanted to learn as much as possible! Thank you for your explanations LYK! As much as I was drawn to the family's reactions with the verdict, I wish they would have shown the hospital's legal team. They sure were nasty when giving the closing arguments for the Punitive Damages.
Because Anderson is an idiot.
I wish we could have seen the defense table when the verdict was read
If there was ever an offer it was low ball big time. But after listening to that video where the president or CEO of the hospital said they stood by what they did and wouldn’t change it makes me feel they literally felt they were right and were not going to lose?
I went into the ER with covid in early 2020, they told me it was just the flu and released me. Why didn't JH do just that? Why not say we can't help her and let her go to another hospital? When they became judge, jury and executioner to this family is where the strayed from the path. If just "doing your job" actually pushes someone to suicide I would hope something is called in to ring in that power....and that would be their suit.
The executive and board salaries on on their 990 IRS form. You can find it on line. They made millions.
Yah since they are a non profit it's easy to find out what they made if you go looking
Life when you have a child with rare medical complexities is just harder. It’s more work. It’s more thinking and careful consideration. It’s more planning. It’s more fear for the future. It means being seen by 17 different specialties regularly (truly!). It can make you the best version of yourselves- and sometimes the worst. I wouldn’t trade places with anyone as a “medical mom.” It brings me such joy to take care of my child and I’m always learning new things and we meet so many wonderful people. And the Dr.’s, RN’s and your team at the hospital should be a part of YOUR support system. Working to identify and support the health goals for your child’s quality of life. Supporting- not steering- the way for your family’s future. This case really just hurts my heart.
God bless this family, Maya, Dad , brother and Mom rest her soul. She would be so proud of the strong, beautiful and very brave daughter Maya has become. I wish them pease, but l know that Children’s Hospital has no remorse so the fight will continue.❤
So many people are angry that the verdict was so high. Does anyone deserve that much money? Maybe not but the point is to punish JH and a small verdict wouldn’t hurt them, so a large verdict had to be given.
Who’s angry ? Many believe 50 million is not enough when they have 1.2 billion minimim
After seeing the trial I need to come here and get the most unbiased and exact explanation of what happened and an explanation of how the law works. Thank you Peter, you are the best.
Replay crew today. I watched all 9 weeks and was emotional drained and was happy it was all over for Maya, Kyle and Jack
I watched the entire trial. At first I watched Law and Crime, then Rob's evening recap and then RA. I enjoyed your recaps as well. It is so much better to watch with commentary and explanations. Thank you for all you do!
58:36 Ms. Lawrence passed her bar during the trial. I think she knows a FORMER JHACH employee, not a current one.
So happy for them!
My worst medical experience RECENTLY was that I had sent a message saying that I was unhappy with the quality of my care, and that they were treating me as a drug-seeker.
At my next visit, they brought in their mental health specialist!
Because if I have concerns about my care, I MUST BE CRAZY?!? Having a crisis?!
Mind you, I do carry a mental health diagnosis....it's PTSD.
It doesn't cause delusions- never has. If anything, being gaslighted is in large part what CAUSED some of my traumas, so stop with the gaslighting me.
Leaving that clinic soon, but have to wait until February, because our area is lacking Healthcare providers currently. That's the soonest I could get in. Until then, I am just screwed.
I’m so sorry! My hospital sent a social worker to my room door when I was being mistreated after an emergency cesarean. I’d earned a SW degree about a year prior. I was so angry & said forcefully “Do NOT let this woman set her TOE in my room! I’m full of infection not “overwrought!!” 🔥
I was hospitalized for nine miserable days and sent home with a draining wound infection.
I know this is about Maya and her family but I just sence this case stands on the shoulders of so many injured families.
Thank you to Net Woman for the gifted membership! I joined the live about 45 min late and started from the beginning so I didn’t know until the live was over. 😢 thank you again!
Peter Trago, spot on insights! I've been a mandatory reporter for many years- never would I dismiss board- certified physicians opinions!
Johns Hopkins leadership is still clueless. Facts are facts. They are the one's running their reputation into the ground.
I suffer from CRPS just like Maya and I know what she's been through. I have suffered with this for 24 years and every symptom She is talked about I have had it 1 time or another. CRPS is a evolving condition. You don't feel all of these Symptoms at the same time it sort of runs in cycles. I'm so happy from May and her family. I just wish that her mother were there with her.
Shapiro told the absolute truth. No intent to harm. This whole trial was a circus.
Watched trial from beginning to end. Such a strong family and true justice for Beata.
Dear Peter,
I Subscribed so now you're at 290K.
I've watched each day of Maya's Trial live. I left many comments and got to know many others watching live. I have served on several trials, one Civil, and one Criminal plus served on our local Grand Jury. I was in law enforcement through high school and for over a year after I married. I was one of the first female cadets and talked our Chief into allowing the female cadets to go on Ride-A-Longs with the Officers. (1970's)
I received an offer to go through the Police Academy, which I had always wanted but my first husband was jealous of my working with men, which put an end to those plans. The night we finished the Federal trial I went out for a drink with one of the Attorneys. Our town is smallish and they knew his wife was my children's teacher and I babysat their children. The Attorney asked how we came up with our verdict. One sticking point was that there were no tired tracks or skid marks so he did not try to stop. We all knew the area, it was raining heavily so they would have hydro-plained leaving no skid marks. He couldn't believe he hadn't thought of that. Many years later we had some new friends over, for supper, we kept thinking we had met before. His old trial came up, I excused myself to go find an old newspaper article, then handed it to them. I'd been foreman on his trial. He was happy to find out we thought about him hydro-plaining. If you read my very long story, I thank you. I look forward to watching more of your insights. God bless you and your family. Hugs from northern California.
I'm glad you played that clip because everyone was jumping down my throat when I said they weren't ever offered any settlements, not a single one. They kept saying the court documents indicate otherwise.
I'm watching the documentary now. Only 25 minutes in and I have to keep taking breaks it is so difficult to watch. Thank you Peter for all of your hard work and diligence, integrity on this one!
I cried like 10x 😢
I had to take breaks too while watching - and Maya’s reaction when they asked her why she won’t go to hospitals or see doctors had me sobbing. They broke this child and I am so glad she was finally heard and believed. Beata still protects her and it was beautiful to see justice ❤
The witnesses on the defense seemed so arrogant which caused me to really not like them at all. I’m so glad that Maya and family won. I think I subscribed during the Depp/Heard trial. Your down to earth explanations of the trials you cover for us to understand the legal issues is what made me subscribe, along with your personality. Thank you for all you do! Take care and be well.
Watched the entire trial. I was so emotional when they read the verdict. I sobbed with them!
Thank you for such an informative and respectful coverage. So relieved for Maya and her family
Glad it was helpful!
Sadly, this happens to vulnerable adults too. A night nurse at a hospital in Ocala, FL lied and said I yelled at my mom. He and another male nurse confused my mom who has aphasia and said she didn't want me there so I was kicked out. The day before, FL DCF unlawfully took custody and revoked my DPOA. My sister filed false allegations but now us remorseful after seeing DCF kidnap my mom. DCF investigator did ZERO investigation and filed motion for guardianship without proof of false allegations, DCF and their attorney withheld my evidence, lied and slandered me without any proof to both judges at 2 separate Zoom courts 60 days apart. BOTH judges did NOT let me speak and made ruling from hearsay and didn't look at facts. How does this happen in America??
Trying to get help once DCF is involved is very hard. I hope to find a lawyer but it's a complicated case. I haven't seen my mom since April 25, 23. She's being held against her will at a nursing home and DCF has denied all visitors and calls. A few people tried visiting her 2 weeks ago and were told she wasn't there. THAT'S INHUMANE, CRUEL AND ABUSIVE. Yet no one is helping us yet. These things should never happen to anyone. It ruined our lives. I'm so happy for the Kowalskis big win and hope it truly does change policies and procedures. I was able to get video of my last visit with my mom as I was getting kicked out. Stroke Lemonade on TT.
A dreadful ordeal for you. Perhaps LYK can help you find a lawyer to assist you??
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I think the public really has no idea how often this happens.
The more the hospital’s lawyers talks the more and more I find myself hating the hospital and their staff and wishing for their complete failure.
The hospital's arrogance fueled their refusal to accept the criticism and their greed crushed any hope of settlement.
#replay wow I am shocked. I do not think the 50m is enough for them to recognize their wrongdoing. That was clear by his statements. I hope they pay/settle for the families sake. Thanks again Peter ❤
One of my jury questions during this time would’ve been “how much does a JHACH make in a fiscal year?” Prob would’ve been thrown out but you know these huge hospitals absolutely do not put every dollar back into the hospital.
Carrying 1/2 billion in your checking account every year is proof you do not do all you can for Florida children every year.
Should have made their report and let them go home. Hopefully JHACH learns a lesson from this case. They are a hospital not a judge, prosecutor, or jury.
Yes! I guess certain staff thought otherwise
They were offering hush money not a settlement. I'm glad they pushed through to shed a light on the abuse of these families.
I am someone who lives with chronic pain and have a debilitating disorder that had gone undiagnosed for over a decade. What I’ve learned by going to hospitals and seeing doctors and specialist is that some of them are healthcare providers and some of them are profiteers. In 26 years with this disorder and three others, I can count on one hand those that have truly cared about me and helped me. Doctors also do not like to be challenged and that has also caused me great harm and a total waste of time and energy schooling them about a disorder they didn’t learn about in med school nor seen on a patient in person. The world of medicine is very scary even when you are your own advocate.
Sometimes you feel like your in the land of oz lol I mean ......is this really happening at a specialist office ?one sent me to p.t. downstairs p.t. says tell Dr I think it's your heel cords but don't let him operate by you want his partner lol 🤣🤣🤣 told Dr she thinks it's heel cords he rolls his eyes 👀 true story 😂
I watched every second of this trial. Thank you for covering it whenever you could, appreciate and loved it!
Also if there is on family that were treated this horribly, there are most definitely more. Toxic power hungry hospital culture is a HUGE problem in the US
You are the only one that I watch for the trial information. I’ve tried to watch other channels, but either they talk over the videos that they’re playing or have personal commentary.m, which is just really annoying. I like that you stop the video to explain things. And most people do not have hours to watch these trials, but are very interested in them, so thank you so much Peter for Breaking these down and spending so much time with us every day. I appreciate you!
In Colorado it is the same we have to report if we have legitimate suspicions but NOT to investigate.
Like the new intro & outro, Peter! Thanks for breaking this case down. Complicated and very sad! I’m happy for the decision for Maya and her family. ❤
Tampa media need to keep reporting on this case.
Love this community! I am
Happy for Maya and family. It still won being her mom
Back. 😢
I’m not sure what I’m going to listen to now while I work! I’ve been following this for over a month!!! Lol
I say others can never speak to these aspects unless they have been put through it themselves. You can’t truly understand certain situations unless you are going through it yourself. It is a pain like no other, it effects everyone. I am judged by hospital staff bc I use the patient portal and typically know my results before a Dr even walks in my room, in Florida. I ask questions and at times they don’t like it
Absolutely! Medical professionals hate when their patients do their research, ask questions or decide to choose different treatment or no treatment at all.
My 13 year experience with my illnesses makes me a professional in my own health not some random nurse
I can so relate
But as jurors, you have to try. The jurors here did a great job.
@@Kikiconsilience they are said to be “practicing medicine”’even after they have went through schooling. The experience of losing my sister, I don’t allow people to practice anything on me unless I allow it. I have found most don’t like when you refuse pain management. I want you to do that, in some cases it is the only answer, well I still have questions. Paying close attention to your patient portal is a huge thing. I feel better reading it being able to to ask questions especially when alone most times during hospitalizations
@@nancysanders342 they did an amazing
Thank you for all you do especially the last few days with this! I am so happy for the family and find the defense pathetic! Hard to understand the rationalization people will go through until life shows them the other side of things! I would strongly advise no one to go to this hospital with this type of administration!
So glad that Maya won - her family has gone to a lot. Praying that hospitals worldwide truly learn how to treat patients and families with respect, dignity, etc. They truly have a "moral" obligation, otherwise those hospitals should not be in "business" and "not" claim they help patients, etc.
Rewatch crew. Watched every day of trial. Awesome jury!
I was bawling my eyes out 😢 so happy with the jury 🙏🤗❤️
Peter it has been SUCH a pleasure watching you cover this. A special treat because this is your realm of law expertise and you definitely shine in it. 👏🏻
Mandatory reporters doing the right thing shouldn't have a problem.
In Alberta (Canada) all hospitals, especially hospitals specializing in treating children and seniors, there is a Patient Advocacy Office. Upon reporting by a parent as a complaint against a Health care professional, there is an automatic review by an independent body appointed ad litem for the patient.
Peter, your comments and answers have been so very helpful, Ty!!! I watched this trial from the outset but couldn't make it every day. I did seek out testimony from key witnesses, often w/o commentary but then listening to you and Rob, particularly towards the end. I have had a diff chronic pain illness since 14, good days and bad, being told I look great etc etc, so I just feel so deeply for Maya. Ty for your sensitivity to those of us w health challenges.
Did this hospital even have Patient Advocates????
I agree that this was warranted. There was a power issue at work and their EGO became more important than the well-being and care for the patient. They KNEW they were in the wrong (demonstrated by withholding specific information) but did not care. Maya was horribly affected and her family irrevocably devastated. Every patient was in danger with these power hungry people who forgot their purpose.
#replay crew thank you for your coverage of this trial, as you know it was so close to so many of us chronic pains sufferers who have been lied to, belitted, shamed, accused and gas lit in many circumstances. I love your legal take and your balanced view. Was so amusing to see yesterday watching your live stream when you had to watch on normal speed, it looked painful for you. As an ND I get your pain at normal speed!
You’re so cool!! You’re so down to earth and so informative.
