It's worth mentioning that the defense team is not moving on the assumption that she didn't have CRPS, partly because the treatment for CRPS and conversion disorder, which is what they believe she did have, is the same. Here's Dr. Elliott explaining this, and this clip is from Law and Crime Network.
You know, I really sense how careful the majority of the doctors on the defense side are. They're really avoiding inflammatory language. They seem to be taking pains not to speak ill of Beata or Maya. There was one doctor, however, who did not dance around his conclusion. We heard a piece of his affidavit in our episode about Beata's death.

So there was so much to Dr. Crane's testimony, but just to kind of share some of the highlights, what I found most interesting about his testimony, you know, he talked about the fact that there are actually uses for ketamine that are legitimate with childhood CRPS in cases where a child has refractory pain. So that's pain that has been resistant to any other kinds of treatments.

However, he did say that if you're doing something like a ketamine infusion, number one, he uses ketamine a very low dose, so 1 25th of what Dr. Hanna was ultimately using on Maya, and that this kind of treatment should be done only in a hospital setting where there's proper monitoring. He also described ketamine withdrawals.

And as he was talking through this part, this was really fascinating because the plaintiff has talked about ketamine as though it's kind of no big deal, like that this was a perfectly... you know, safe medication that there was no side effects from.

And hearing him talk about ketamine withdrawals and then looking at some of Maya's behaviors when she arrived at the hospital, where she was demanding anesthesia and really acting out, like she was swearing at people, she was yelling. It really sounded similar to what he was describing when he talked about ketamine withdrawals. And that description really got me.

He also offered his expert opinion in why Maya does not have CRPS and talked about some of her alleged symptoms, some of which were shown in photos by the plaintiff's side of, quote, lesions, which he agreed with Dr. Revivo that the lesion they showed was a scratch, and Maya's alleged dystonia. Now, the dystonia is something that has come up a lot. It came up in the film.
