3rd season very unbalanced

“I like this podcast but I find the 3rd season is just a rebuttal argument to the documentary “Take Care of Maya.” It really glosses over a lot of problematic material in favor of its argument that Maya was a victim of Munchausen by proxy. It insinuates that the doctor who certified that Maya did have a pain syndrome was biased because he was hired by the Kowalskus to give an opinion, but ignores the interests of the doctors who allege Maya didn’t have a pain syndrome. It’s absolutely insane that she sees no bias whatsoever in a doctor being paid more than $100,000 to write a report. The Kowalski’s doctor is somehow biased because he works in the field, but the child abuse doctor she brings on is not painted as similarly biased because she has a strong history in a particular field. Moreover, the Johns Hopkins doctors, and the hospital, are currently being sued. They have every reason in the world to state that the pain syndrome was made up. It’s weird that our narrator is so unconcerned about the nurse who took near-naked pictures of Maya and was later fired. Narrator also doesn’t understand the Daubert standard of scientific evidence, which would be crucial in offering commentary on a court case like this. It also glosses over the financial incentives in privatized nonprofit child welfare agencies and the issues with removing children from their parents for reasons that basically amount to “you’re too poor.” There is real harm done to families by overzealous child welfare agencies. Narrator also glosses over Maya’s treatment at the hospital, like her not being allowed to practice her religion. Some of this is really problematic, but the narrator basically evangelizes over any criticisms of the child welfare/medico legal abuse system. Overall, it’s just highly biased.”

“This sensitive and difficult topic is well presented and the podcast is an interesting listen if you find factitious disorder or similar issues fascinating.”

“i absolutely am blown away by this series. the right balance of personal history and more general knowledge about what this is, how it looks, and how it can be uncovered in a medical setting, all presented organically, with compassion but without cuddling. a sobre approach to a devastating issue.”

“This is a very personal podcast with a lot of emotion on the part of those making it. That subjective viewpoint is very moving but ultimately I didn’t feel they were able to get past their own experiences and perspectives to deal with the subject fully - which is understandable.”
