Take Care of Maya, the Netflix documentary, was a carefully crafted narrative that gave way to a $261 million verdict in the Kowalski v. Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital trial. This series seeks to uncover the truth. In Episode 4, we take on the second half of the plaintiffs' opening statement. Want to support my mission? BuyMeaCoffee.com/ThisMom(Thank You!!!)

The ‘Take Care of Maya’ case is in a crucial stage. Oral arguments were heard by Florida’s Appellate Court in February 2025. Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital is appealing the $261,000,000 verdict, rendered in favor of Maya Kowalski, Jack Kowalski, and The Estate of Beata Kowalski. One of the three appellate judges had a number of questions for JHACH attorney Derek Stikeleather, which, seemingly, gave hints as to her take on this case. Though this episode of This Mom Podcast is unlikely to reach the ears of Judge Andrea Teves Smith, her questions give opportunity for us to discuss a number of aspects of this case, which I feel to be deserving of further attention. They also give way for me to have a discussion about a sensitive topic I’d previously felt I would not be able to get to until well into the future, after having been able to become more established within this realm: The Matthew Perry of it all. Matthew Perry’s death occurred when the Kowalski versus Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital trial was in its seventh week, so the ketamine comparisons weren’t able to come into play, at that time. Unfortunately, those who covered this case haven’t had much interest in using —all that was learned from Matthew Perry’s death—, to have a deeper conversation about the concerning treatments being administered to Maya Kowalski. So, here we are. Having the conversation that I hope will open some eyes. Final Note: Having such an unpopular take on this case leaves me with a greater burden, than those who create content with memes, or who’ve established totally non-contractual friendships with those on the Kowalskis’ side of this case. As such, I’ve created a companion video for this one episode. If you’re like me, your preference is to take in content by listening, so if there’s anything you’d like to fact-check me on, just make note of the time stamp. You’ll be able to scroll to that point in the video, whenever you’re able. (Algorithms be damned; we’ve got points to make, here.) You’ll find this episode on the YouTube channel with the same name: This Mom. I still have much to uncover, as I dig deeper and deeper into this case, so if you have access to any records which are not publicly available, and are able to share, my email is ThisMomPodcast @ gmail. Any support of my continued effort to be a voice for the side of truth, would be incredibly appreciated. Please visit BuyMeAcoffee.com/ThisMomThank you so much for your time.

Law firm AndersonGlenn's time representing Maya Kowalski, Jack Kowalski, and The Estate of Beata Kowalski, has come to an end. Nick Whitney is back on the case, now that he's landed with a new firm, and successfully coerced the Kowalski family to join him. Attorneys Greg and Jennifer Anderson, who funded this case from the start, feel unethical tactics must have been used, considering how close the Anderson and Kowalski families are. Or maybe, Maya is simply starting to take...

The Kowalski vs. Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital trial sucked me in, right away. I rooted hard for the family who, initially, felt so relatable. If only evidence weren't so important, when it comes to trials. I'll walk you through my journey with this case. Though I didn't start with the Netflix documentary, I do know that is what captivated the world. We'll tackle that first, however painful the debunking may feel, then we'll move onto the trial. It'...
