Munchausen by Proxy and A Sister's Search for Hope - a podcast with Andrea Dunlop
Netflix's 2023 hit film "Take Care of Maya" purports to tell the true story of Maya Kowalski, a young girl brought to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, for a little-known pain condition called CRPS in October of 2016. The visit instigated a child abuse investigation and a three-months-long separation from Maya's parents. Tragically, her mother Beata died by suicide in January 2017. In October of 2023, the surviving members of the Kowalski family won a shocking $260 million verdict against Johns Hopkins All Children's. Much of the blame for Beata's death was put on Dr. Sally Smith, the child abuse pediatrician who determined that Maya was a victim of medical child abuse (also known as Munchausen by proxy). As a result, Dr. Smith has received death threats, harassment, and endured utter reputational ruin.

In an exclusive interview with the award-winning hit podcast "Nobody Should Believe Me," Dr. Sally Smith gives her side of the story, discussing her decades-long career as one of the country's first board-certified child abuse pediatricians, the incendiary media coverage of her and the harassment it's inspired. She also shares never-before-revealed details about the $2.5 million settlement she reached with the Kowalski family. As the nation becomes more aware of the little-understood form of abuse known as Munchausen by proxy, this stunning interview with Dr. Smith asks the essential question of the Kowalski case: Did the doctor who was vilified for separating Maya from her mother actually save her life?
