The lawyer defending Dr. Stephen Schneider in several medical malpractice lawsuits asked the court to suspend those cases while the doctor awaits trial on federal criminal charges. Dr. Schneider is accused of negligently writing prescriptions for narcotics that resulted in patients becoming addicted to the strong painkillers or dying from overdoses. Dr. Schneider is facing 34 federal charges, along with his wife, relating to their prescribing of the strong narcotics and the deaths and addictions that followed according to papers filed in federal court by the U.S Attorney. Dr. Schneider's wife, Linda, was an L.P.N. who managed their Haysville, Kansas clinic. Both Schneider's have denied any wrongdoing.
