Patients of a local doctor facing a federal indictment accused of over-prescribing pain medication - come out in his support Tuesday, and ask the state to keep Dr. Stephen Schneider's Haysville clinic open.

Martin Beatty, a patient of Dr. Schneider says, "I wasn't comfortable with the options of surgery or long-term care using steroids." He went to Dr. Schneider for help.

As did many, many others. Those patients are now wondering what the doctor's possible indictment means for them.

" People in pain who are on pain treament are in a terrible precarious position, and if they lose their pain care, they can literally die.
says Siobhan Reynolds of the Pain Relief Network.

The question of whether Dr. Schneider's medical license will be revoked will be decided next week.
