to insist that CRPS is not only this exotic thing that for some reason only Dr. Chopra and Dr. Kirkpatrick, both of whom reject the medical consensus around CRPS and ketamine treatments, are qualified to diagnose, and furthermore, that Maya had the most unusual exotic case of it that was somehow both extremely severe and yet so subtle that all of these other doctors misdiagnosed her.

Every medical argument from the defense seems to be answered with either the pain just comes and goes or that the person asking just doesn't understand CRPS. And as a reminder, Dr. Kirkpatrick is a, quote, expert in CRPS because he says he is.

As we discussed in the last episode, one of the biggest bombshells regarding this CRPS diagnosis came out in the last two weeks.
