She was even put into a “ketamine coma”, an experimental treatment in Mexico which temporarily reduced Maya’s CRPS symptoms.When Maya’s parents, Jack and Beata, took their daughter to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, however, the medical staff were unfamiliar with her diagnosis and suspicious of the ketamine treatment she had received.
