So in this, her son had allegedly this extremely rare condition. In his case, it was something called normal pressure hydrocephalus, which is a condition where fluid builds up on the brain. And Mary also talked to friends about how the medical community was, quote, learning so much from his case.
She also insisted that he needed the most invasive treatment, a brain shunt in his case, despite the fact that many doctors told her that he did not need it. And the only doctors that Mary trusted were the ones who gave her what she wanted. So I have been watching the online conversations about this case, and there was a huge shift once these letters became public.

Many people were horrified by these. Obviously, the procedure itself and just the number of heavy-duty medications Maya was on is harrowing to read about. Then there's the fact that she is writing this blog in Maya's voice, which seemed pretty off to a lot of people. And I don't know how else to describe the tone of these letters other than cheerful.

So here is my producer Tina reading from another one of these letters.

Throughout the plaintiff's arguments, there was a lot of talk about how safe ketamine is, how it has no withdrawal symptoms, how these treatments never really put Maya in any danger, and how Maya was, as one of the plaintiff witnesses testified, a, quote, freight train headed to college before Johns Hopkins permanently injured her by taking her off of the ketamine, which she has remained off ever since.

The plaintiff has also framed this ketamine coma similarly. It didn't really have a 50% chance of death. That was just the warning that Dr. Cantu had to give the parents for some reason. But reading Beata's accounts of these five days was chilling. To picture her typing these out as she sat at her daughter's bedside, it just sticks with you.

These letters also fit in with the overall picture that Beata seemed to be painting of her daughter's condition. In her request to have her labeled as terminal, in her multiple mentions of hospice, and quote, wanting to go to heaven. And even in her ending note, take care of Maya, but don't let her suffer. No child deserves that.

She was not depicting a freight train headed to college, but a freight train headed off a cliff. Whatever you think about her, there's no holding Beata to account now. It's everyone else who's left behind who has to pay the price. And that goes far beyond Johns Hopkins and the Kowalski family. The verdict in this case could be days away at this point.
