A state hearing officer is taking under advisement a request by the Kansas Board of Healing Arts to temporarily suspend the medical license of Dr. Stephen Schneider, which would result in his Haysville clinic being closed.

Schneider's sister-in-law Pat Hatcher says she hopes that does not happen. "Because right now our main concern is about the patients that are left." She says.

Schneider and his nurse wife are accused of illegally prescribing pain medication that led to at least four deaths.

Kelli Stevens, Board Attorney, says the clinic violates state law because it is not being run by a licensed physician, only a physician's assistant.

Schneider's lawyer argued for temporary limitations on his
medical license, rather that suspension. Such limitations would
allow his clinic to remain open.

The hearing officer has 30 days to issue a decision. In the meantime, Dr. Schneider's clinic remains open.

Dear Ouch - "spellcheck"

The physician assistant practicing at the Schneider Medical Clinic while he is in jail is Connie White, PA. Check out the Board of Healing Arts website where you will find that she was censured in 2006 for inappropriate prescribing of hydrocodone elixir and insulin to a child. This information is available to the public. The last time I checked, she didn't have a current license, either.

I worked for an insurance company that processed many claims from this "doctor" and we suspected then that he was a drug pusher. Nothing like being a licensed drug dealer and getting paid for it!

Close it down four patients dead is enough. I would be for given the doctor and wife the combination of drugs that they gave this patients.

here main concern is the patients that are left. It sounds like she wants them to continue getting there perscriptions. The good dr. can finish them off and eliminate the idiots from the gene pool

The office should of be closed along time ago his patients should see a real Dr. to see if they really have pain or just addicted to pain meds. I sure hope the so called Dr. and so called NURSE wife get their fair share of time for dealing drugs...Dr. DRUG DEALER

COMMAN SENCE TELLS YOU IF THERE IS AS MUCH MEDICATION BEING PERSCRIBE AS ALEGED THAN THE CLINIC SHOULD BE CLESED OR ANOTHER DOCTOR STEP IN TO RUN IT. THE BEST WOULD BE AN ADICTION SPEICALIST WHO COULD HELP THOSE REMAING DEAL WITH THE ROUGH ROAD AHEAD GETTING OFF THE NARCOTICS THEY NOW ARE ON. THEY WOULD STAND A BETTER CHANC OF FINDING A NEW PROVIDER CLEAN AND THEN BE AVAULATED FOR FUTHER TREATMENT. CONNIE WHITE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO PERSCRIBE THE NARCOTIC'S THAT ARE ALLEGED TO BE GOING THRU THE CLINIC. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS AND KEEP THOSE WHO FACE THE ROUGH ROAD AHEAD.
