Mother testifies doctor helped daughter in pain battle
Phyllis Rowland, mother of a migraine patient who died of fentanyl intoxication, testified that Dr Stephen Schneider and his wife prolonged her life and made it bearable. She described 16 years of worsening headaches and multiple ER visits before seeking treatment at the Haysville clinic. The case involves a 34 count indictment alleging unlawful prescribing, fraud, and money laundering. Geist-Wick, a 45 year old El Dorado resident, died May 15, 2007, at the clinic linked to 68 deaths. Schneider and his wife face charges for 21 of them. Rowland cited Actiq fentanyl therapy prescribed by Schneider as pivotal in her daughter's struggle.
