Ep 281 From ICU Trauma to Advocacy: Turning Pain into Purpose with Reasa Selph

Reasa Selph, mother, and advocate for patient safety. In December 2023, her 11-year-old son, Nicholas, was discharged from a Dallas-area ER despite clear signs of sepsis. Just two days later, he collapsed in septic shock and spent over a month in the pediatric ICU at Cook Children’s, undergoing multiple surgeries to save his life. Today, Nicholas is 12 and living with permanent injuries that changed the course of his young life. What happened to him was preventable, and she has turned her family’s experience into a mission: raising awareness about sepsis, fighting for hospital accountability, and empowering parents to advocate for their children in moments of crisis.
