5 visits. 3 hospitals. 2 more motions coming. Every encounter produced the same result: records that changed after the fact. Three motions denied without prejudice on procedural grounds — meet and confer requirement. Meet and confer completed. Refiling in preparation.
Southern Hills Hospital (2023), Southern Hills Hospital (June 2025), and Sunrise Hospital (April 2025) are three separate facilities, three separate admissions, three separate medical record sets — and three separate forensic comparisons showing the same discrepancy between what the patient portal showed before litigation and what was produced in certified discovery. Two additional motions — MountainView Hospital and Sunrise Hospital (second encounter) — are built and ready to file. This is not a billing dispute. This is a documented pattern across HCA’s Las Vegas network.

MyHCALawsuit.com sits at the intersection of several major national stories.
HCA Healthcare is the largest for-profit hospital operator in the U.S. This litigation documents what happens when profit motive intersects with emergency care obligations under EMTALA — and what patients are left with when the system fails.
A retired technology executive with no law degree filed a multi-defendant federal RICO case, obtained pro se e-filing privileges from the court, and built a public advocacy platform in parallel while running discovery against BigLaw opposition.
Three sanctions motions target alleged EHR record manipulation and audit log withholding across three separate Las Vegas facilities. Forensic four-way comparisons of portal records vs. certified discovery productions are filed as exhibits on the public docket.
The platform is building multi-state patient coordination infrastructure: a Discourse community forum, a public incident pattern database, and attorney referral architecture designed to support class action development across HCA's 20-state network.
