I’m not familiar with this case.
I pray one day, every health system and and every University that mandated that vaccine is sued into oblivion.
I think we will be seeing more cases of medical abuse based upon medical fascism.

Thank the father for taking the girl to the hospital.
I sure do miss their Covid death tracker. I am too depressed to check and see if they have it back. Hard to exist day to day without it. It praise be to big pharma and trump… their vax saved billions of lives worldwide, just like he said in Iowa. Our saviors.
Since I live close to where this trial is happening, I have been watching it closely.
This was a very challenging trial for the jury. Both in terms of length and complexity.
My main observation is that the hospitals lawyers made a couple of stupid mistakes that opened the door for the plaintiffs to get documents showing the hospital had a history of less than stellar management.
In the end I believe the jury saw the same and awarded a mega-verdict in favor of the Kowalski’s.
Now the next step will be the appeals court and they might not get the $200+ million settlement, but it will still be substantial.
I have the same condition that Maya has, Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. It is considered rare by the CDC and it is difficult to find a qualified physician who knows much about it. I have a neurologist who treats me and has offices in two cities where he sees patients 2 days a week in each office. My first doctor said I was making up my pain to get off work. It is much harder on a child because no one believes the level of pain you have. There is no recommended treatment, no cure, and stress makes the pain worse. My husband watched the movie and cried because he has watched me struggle for 13 years. There are some areas of the country where there are no drs who treat, who even know how to treat, or are willing to learn. It’s come a long way since my accident but there are many scams, and people who claim to have a cure knowing that patients and/or parents are willing to do anything to get relief. It is first known to have been diagnosed during the Civil War. The dr called it causalgia. It’s also called the suicide disease. RSD/CRPS. Look it up. It’s real.
Punitive verdict about to be announced!!!!!
From the sounds of it, that family seemed a little on the whacko side.
Looks like things fell apart after my husband left the hospital - yes he worked there. It once was an amazing place but in the last decade, not so much. They had serious problems with the cardiac dept for a while but they seem to be back on track recently.
