        <![CDATA[<p>FOLLOW UP EPISODE: The Angry Alan Show, revisits one of the most disturbing medical negligence stories he has ever covered—this time with new evidence. Guest Reasa Selph returns to share her hospital billing records with a medical expert, who flags serious red flags and potential fraud tied to her son’s care.</p><p>At the center is Reasa’s 11-year-old son, Nicholas, whose near-death experience exposes what happens when America’s medical-industrial complex fails—and then profits anyway.</p><p>Reasa walks through the timeline again, now with documentation in hand. In December 2023, Nicholas came down with the flu and was taken to Methodist Southlake. He was given fluids and sent home. After a brief improvement, he rapidly deteriorated—confused, lethargic, unable to walk or even provide a urine sample. The family returned to the same ER. Despite abnormal labs and a concerning EKG, they were told it was just a virus and sent home again. No antibiotics. No sepsis protocol. No urgency.</p><p>By Christmas morning, Nicholas was jaundiced, gray, and barely responsive. Their pediatrician immediately sent them to Cook Children’s, where doctors recognized the crisis within minutes. The diagnosis Methodist missed: septic shock. Nicholas was intubated, vomited a pint of blood, underwent multiple surgeries, and told his mother he had seen Jesus and was ready to die.</p><p>As Nicholas fought for his life—and continues to live with long-term complications—Reasa began fighting the system. She obtained records showing Methodist’s own labs indicated Nicholas was not stable during that second visit. Federal regulators later cited the hospital for failures in care. Yet the doctor remains in practice. The hospital continues billing. And now, as Reasa walks through the itemized charges with an expert, troubling discrepancies raise the question: were they billed for care that was never properly delivered?</p><p>Alan and Reasa pull back the curtain on a system where malpractice is treated as a cost of doing business, regulators deflect behind confidentiality, and families are quietly pressured into silence. Methodist, on a per-bed basis, is among the most sued hospital systems in Texas—yet the pattern remains largely hidden from the public.</p><p>The conversation expands to what comes next. Reasa outlines her push for Nicholas’s Law, which would require adult-focused ERs to clearly disclose when they are not equipped to treat children, and a proposed sepsis protocol bill that includes real financial penalties when hospitals fail to follow life-saving standards. They also discuss the need for political pressure, PACs, and collective action so families are not left to battle billion-dollar institutions alone.</p><p>This episode is raw, emotional, and furious—and now, deeply unsettling. It’s not just about what went wrong in the ER and Hospital with trusted Doctor's care.... It’s about what happens after, when the same system that nearly kills a child still sends the bill.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>What I’m going to talk about—is the corrupt, indecent leadership dragging this country down. Trump and his inner circle are the textbook example of what public servants should *never* be. They show no grasp of humanity, culture, art, science, or even basic civic responsibility. They don’t build anything meaningful. They dismiss science, undermine intelligence, and focus on one thing only: enriching themselves and tightening their grip on a segment of voters they rely on to stay in power.</p><p>The rest of the country—the people who see what’s happening—has to stand up and speak loudly. Because if we don’t, this kind of leadership will keep eroding our values, our institutions, and the future we claim to believe in.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this searing episode of  The Angry Alan Show, Alan trains his fury on America’s medical-industrial complex—hospitals, health systems, insurers, and regulators who, in his words, turn negligence into a business model and then blame the patient. His guest, Reasa Selph shares the harrowing story of her 11-year-old son, Nicholas, whose near-death experience exposes just how dangerous that system can be when accountability disappears.</p><p>Reasa walks through the timeline: December 2023, Nicholas comes down with the flu and is taken to Methodist Southlake , a Texas medical center.</p><p>He’s given fluids, sent home, and briefly improves. Days later he crashes—lethargic, confused, unable to walk or even provide a urine sample—so the family returns to the same hospital they trust. Despite abnormal labs and a concerning EKG, they’re told it’s “just a virus” and sent home again, with no antibiotics, no sepsis workup, and no sense of urgency. On Christmas morning, Nicholas is jaundiced, gray, and barely responsive. Their pediatrician directs them to Cook Children’s, where a roomful of doctors swarms him within minutes and delivers the diagnosis Methodist missed: septic shock. Nicholas is intubated, vomits a pint of blood, undergoes repeated surgeries, and tells his mother he’s seen Jesus and is ready to die.</p><p>As Nicholas fights for his life and endures long-term complications, Reasa begins fighting the system. She discovers that Methodist’s own labs showed he was not okay on that second visit—and that federal regulators later cited the hospital for failures in care. Yet the doctor still practices, the hospital still bills, and regulators and boards deflect, delay, and hide behind confidentiality. Reasa describes the deep sense of betrayal, the crushing mom guilt of trusting the wrong people, and the realization that her case is not an outlier: Methodist, on a per-bed basis, is one of the most sued hospital systems in Texas, and many families are quietly paid to keep their stories out of sight.</p><p>Alan and Reasa dig into the bigger picture: malpractice as a “cost of doing business,” regulators who look the other way, and a culture that values image and billing over human life. Reasa outlines her push for "Nicholas’s Law”—requiring adult-focused ERs to clearly disclose when they’re not pediatric-capable—and a proposed sepsis protocol bill with real fines when hospitals fail to follow life-saving standards. They also discuss the need for political pressure, PACs, and a coordinated movement so families aren’t left to fight billion-dollar systems alone.</p><p>This episode is raw, emotional, and unapologetically angry. It’s not just about one boy or one family—it’s a warning to anyone who ever has to take a child to the ER and a call to action for transparency, accountability, and systemic change.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Angry Alan launches into a fiery critique of former President Donald Trump, describing his track record as proof of what he calls a “dangerous lunatic.” In Alan’s view, Trump is a sick individual propped up by equally sick and opportunistic politicians who applaud him for their own gain.</p><p>Alan references the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk before turning to the broader desire of Americans for peace and happiness. He argues that Trump’s war against the “wokeness” of the left has crossed into criminalizing those who disagree with him, further deepening division.</p><p>Despite his frustrations, Alan acknowledges he doesn’t have all the answers. Still, he is clear in his belief that Trump acts like a dictator—“a king of kings”—and a bully. At the same time, Alan insists America remains a great nation, one worth fighting to preserve through honest dialogue and fresh solutions.</p><p>He emphasizes that this episode is not meant as a political commentary but rather as a call to action for Americans to step back, dial down the rhetoric, and engage in real conversations about solving the problems facing the country and the world.</p><p>Closing out the episode, Alan invites his audience to share their ideas, stressing that prosperity and hope should be created for everyone—not just a select few.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Angry Alan, Alan welcomes D.L. from North Texas, a self-described “regular guy” who is determined to uncover the truth in a world clouded by propaganda and lies. Together, they dive into the meaning of anger, distinguishing between destructive rage and what D.L. calls righteous indignation—a force that can drive unity, kindness, and justice.</p><p>Drawing on his law school training and the IRAC method (Issue → Rule → Analysis → Conclusion), D.L. explains how critical thinking can help expose systemic flaws and lead to real solutions. The conversation touches on modern pressure systems, financial crises, COVID-era policies, and the way money often masks deeper issues. D.L. emphasizes that to fight injustice—whether it’s economic inequality, the business of religion, or child trafficking—we must first identify the problem, shine a light on it, analyze it, and then act to fix it.</p><p>Alan and D.L. also challenge the motives of powerful institutions, asking tough questions about redistribution, wealth, and global control. The recurring theme: always follow the money. D.L. suggests that hidden networks and long-standing groups may be influencing world problems behind the scenes, making critical thinking and vigilance more important than ever.</p><p>This episode is a candid, thought-provoking conversation about anger, truth-seeking, and the fight against systemic evil—reminding listeners that uncovering truth requires both courage and method.</p>]]>
