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.

In an all-new season of Dr. Death, host Laura Beale uncovers the story of a surgeon who took advantage of a broken system, and the fight to bring him to justice. Dr. Death: The Cowboy follows a charming neurosurgeon who rode into Western towns selling a persona of confidence and care. He wore cowboy boots in the operating room, and became sought after by patients. He promised to heal them, to help them, but instead, he left a trail of broken bodies.
