New Season - Dr. Death: The Cowboy

About this episode

The episode explores the story of Dr. John Schneider, a surgeon whose practices in Wyoming and Montana lead to a search for justice amidst claims of malpractice.

Dr. John Schneider rode into town like a character out of a Western: an outsider on a Harley-Davidson, in trademark cowboy boots. He promised relief to patients suffering in Wyoming and Montana. He seemed like the hero they needed. But when surgeries go wrong and a strange letter exposes a bitter feud, medical professionals and government officials search for the truth about this cowboy doctor. They discover claims of broken bodies, bullying, fraud, and lawsuits. From Audible, the fifth season of the hit series Dr. Death returns with The Cowboy: the story of a surgeon who took advantage of a broken system and the fight to bring him to justice.  Listen to Dr. Death: The Cowboy wherever you get your podcasts.
