Maya Kowalski was a happy, healthy 10-year old when a severe asthma attack led to burning arms and legs and a diagnosis of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS.)
Ketamine gave her some sustained relief, but it was a CRPS flare five years later that sent Maya to the ER. What followed was a nightmare of unimaginable grief, abuse and loss.
Maya’s story is now a Netflix documentary, both searing and eye-opening in its unveiling of broken systems breaking families.
