Netflix's "Take Care of Maya" follows the story of Maya Kowalski and her mother, Beata Kowalski, a registered nurse, as they navigate Maya's rare, chronic neurological condition called complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) – a poorly understood affliction that causes severe pain throughout a person's body due to nervous system dysfunction, according to the Cleveland Clinic. "Maya was dying under Johns Hopkins mismanagement and terrible care." "Do not trust the system." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.

"We, as parents, try to do the best we can for our children," Jack Kowalski, Maya's father and Beata's husband, says in the documentary. "You do everything for them. That's what Beata and I did. But there's nothing that could have prepared me for what I went through with my family. Nothing."
Dr. Anthony Kirkpatrick, who specializes in pain relief, initially diagnosed Maya with CRPS when she was 9 years old and helped her get treatment for the illness, which included doses of ketamine to help dull her pain. The treatment worked for a while, until she relapsed at age 10 in 2016.
