In Episode 209, Part II, I speak with Dan Schneider of the Netflix Series “The Pharmacist” about his crusade against OxyContin Pill Mill Doctor and Purdue Pharma.

OxyContin has been causing deaths and addictions which ruined the lives of families for decades.

We speak at length about how young people were coming into his pharmacy with heavy duty prescriptions for OxyContin for 40 and 80 mgs each and sometimes many more at the same time of other drugs.

This led him to start doing research to find a pill mill doctor, Dr. Clegget, who was operating in a town nearby in the overnight hours. What doctor operates over night?

He tells me all he did to get her shut town because young people were dying in his area.

Later we talk about how pharmaceutical representatives were pressuring doctors all over the country to give their patients OxyContin for pain. They claimed it was only 1% addiction, but shortly found out that was a lie.

Watch this second episode about the crusade Dan has taken since 1999 to help people not become addicted to these horrific pain medications.

#murder #danschneider #thepharmacist #netflix

In Episode 208, Part I, I speak with Dan Schneider of the Netflix Series “The Pharmacist” about his son Danny’s murder by a drug dealer.

We discussed how he and his family had to work hard to obtain justice for his son’s murder.

Although law enforcement was involved, they did not always do their job.

Frustrated, because of the stigma involved which was widespread in 1999, Dan did what he could to find the killer.

In a twist of events, the person he thought was a witness, wound up being the killer.

And the Aunt of the killer would be the individual who only two days after the killing, had called Crime Stoppers, left a clear message on their telephone line, yet police never followed up.

We talk at length of how this all came together.

The Schneider Family and Danny’s Girlfriend

Dan, who is a pharmacist by trade, is very candid about how young Danny was taking drugs and how that affected he and his family.

In the second part of this interview, airing next week, we will speak about how it came to pass that Dan got involved in shutting down a pill mill doctor in his area who was selling OxyContin by the millions. And how this led to a fight with the Sackler Family who are owners of Purdue Pharma, the company who makes OxyContin.
