Check out the doc. Trolling the social networks and asking for advice on ‘trysts after dark‘. I find it ironic that he would be complaining about this woman ignoring him and not returning calls yet he treated me much worse. And I was a patient for a year! No notice … nothing… he just ignored me. I guess he forgot how it felt to be tossed aside as if he meant nothing.
Perhaps she wanted nothing to do with him because he is a sleezy man and once she figured out he wasn’t this big shot doctor she wanted out. I wonder how long he continued to bother her.
Scumbag.

I received my records today. 3 months after I first requested them. They all appear to have been done at the same time. It’s pretty clear. And some of his notes are lies. He has me signing a “informed consent” for each treatment but only provides one document where my signature appears. I must say I do not at all recall signing this document and it appears to have been doctored. (no pun intended) But giving Schaut the benefit of the doubt and assuming the document is legit, it has ALL the procedures listed…. So according to this document, I signed off on procedures that had yet to take place.
It also has a disclaimer where spontaneous pneumothorax is a risk that I would be taking. First of all, I have been told by 7 different doctors over the years that I cannot have nerve blocks done because of that specific risk. This is something that comes up all the time and I am very aware when it has. Dr. Schaut and I discussed this many times but he never ONCE presented that as a risk. It was the complete opposite. In fact I specifically asked him about how deep the needle goes and he said it was all surface and I had nothing to worry about. He assured me that a collapse was NOT possible. I would NEVER agree to a procedure where there was even a remote possibility that my lung could collapse. This document in my opinion is false and I intend to follow up on it.
He also claims in his notes that during the needling in which my right chest muscle was damaged, I tolerated the procedure well and it was not painful. This is an outright lie. In fact I was in so much pain it brought me to tears. I had another bad reaction to it 3 days later and discussed this in great detail with the doc via email and subsequent visits. This was also the last time I had the needling done. He even said that the pain he caused should be temporary and over time would get better. It has not.
Not to mention the dates on these procedure notes are all wrong. I have receipts, pharmacy records, & emails that prove otherwise.
It is very clear Dr. Schaut is trying to cover his ass legally. He should have been a little more careful in his deceit because I now possess documents that I believe to be fraudulent and I intend on proving it. There is alot I intend on proving.
I wish I could share all the horror stories I have heard about this moron but I agreed to the people who emailed me that I would keep it to myself. Let’s just say I know more about David John Schaut then I ever wanted to know. He is a despicable man who has abused his power as a doctor on many occasions. He has violated patient’s privacy and broken numerous medical ethics guidelines. There are even allegations that Dr. Schaut has had inappropriate contact with children. How he was able to practice medicine in Colorado after everything I have heard is also something that needs some serious investigation.
I intend on making sure that he never practices medicine again. I intend on suing him, his insurance company, and possibly the board that gave him his license. I also want to make sure any potential new patients or clients understand the kind of man they are dealing with. I have phone calls into the Colorado ski resorts and will let them know to watch for this possible predator. Dr. Dave likes to teach skiing during the Winter as a side job. I emailed one of the local news networks and will use my various media contacts to get this story a little more exposure. Maybe 9 wants to know.
Dr. Schaut appears to have left a long line of victims during his career and it is time to expose him for what he is and what he has been doing. He picked the wrong MFer to do wrong.
You know.. It should be said, that by doing this in the manner I have chosen I take the risk of some sort of retaliation / retribution by the doc. It is clear to me that this guy doesn’t play with a full deck. I don’t know what he is capable of. You never know what a man might do when his world comes crashing down around him. So I want to make this known publicly now…. I have NO enemies. Should something befall me and I should end up hurt. You know where to look.

So I get an email yesterday from good ole David Schaut. I guess my records are FINALLY in the mail. It only took 3 months! My guess is it took him this long because he had to go over and make sure they were correct. I never saw him take a note or write anything down so I also assume he created the entire record at once.
He issues a statement as per advice of “his lawyer” and says any “further derogatory communications” will be forwarded to the “Douglas County Sheriff“. I guess my email subject line “David Schaut: Scumbag Doctor” was offensive to him.
Too bad.
He is offensive. And if these claims of inappropriate contact with children are remotely true, then the term scum bag is letting him off lightly.
He also claims that he has told me in the past that I should contact a family doctor or new pain specialist. This is an outright lie and an obvious cover up for complete misconduct. I have emails going back a year that say different.
So I welcome the opportunity to talk with someone from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Dept. I am sure they would be more than happy to hear all about Dr. Schaut and what he has been up to. I am no expert on the law but I am pretty sure that doctors cannot write themselves prescriptions NOR can they see patients outside of an established office. At the very least he is in violation of some medical ethics. We will soon find out.
For those of you following this blog. Check back later this week when I will have a nice big update. I have come to find out some very interesting information and I think it should be made public.
And again…. if anyone would like to share their experience with me, please email schautaware@gmail.com and we can swap stories. All correspondence is kept confidential and will not be repeated unless otherwise directed.
You know… I have already been contact by 3 different people already each with their own horror story. I am befuddled at how Dr. Schaut was able to get and maintain a medical license in Colorado.
At the very least…. Internet justice is a mother fu#ker.

On 9/19/08 I sent the doctor (not for much longer) a certified letter with my formal request of my records and my intent to sue. The letter went ignored and has been since returned to sender.

Well… I am now out of medications and STILL have not been able to get into a new doctor OR get a hold of the quack. I went into the ER last night only to be talked to like a drug addict and denied treatment. They didn’t even look at what papers I did have. I brought in a printout from my pharmacy and a letter the quack wrote for my disability hearing.
It is doctors like Dave Schaut (Dr. Dave) that make patients like mine very diffiicult. He and doctors like him along with patients who abuse the system is the reason the health care in this country is HORRIBLE.
Yet another reason why ethical doctors are very wary of prescribing anything.
If I only could get my records I would be able to get into another pain specialist without a referral.

I have been doing some extensive digging into this Dr. Schaut’s history and I am very shocked at what I have heard and found. This guy needs to be stopped.
So Dave… if you are reading this take note: I am not going to go away and will not give up. You better hire a good lawyer.

That is what one former patient is alleging.
Maybe this is why I can’t get in touch. I wonder if he is sitting in jail somewhere.

I continue to be turned away by new doctors for any number of reasons. The most common is the fact that I do not have any records from Dr. Schaut other than a letter he signed for my disability case. I have repeatedly requested my records from Dr. Schaut with no reply.
So if the doctor happens to stop by this site while he is trolling the social networks,
I WANT MY RECORDS!

I started seeing Dr. Schaut back in August/September of 07. At first impression he seemed like a nice guy and after the previous bad experience I had, I really needed a good doctor. I had spent about 20 minutes on the phone with him prior and I got the impression that he really cared for his patients. How wrong I was. There were red flags along the way but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. I thought we had worked up a good relationship and I considered him a friend.
He specializes in a procedure called “needling and infiltration” in which he would take a needle with a little bit of steroid and poke the area where the pain was. This was to “break up any scar tissues and “cicatrixs” under the skin. I had never heard about this before and I have seen a number of pain management doctors about my condition. According to Dr. Schaut, only a handful of doctors in the country perform this procedure. It is more a “Europe thing”.
After hearing over and over that medication is the only thing that can help me, I was very optimistic about this “technique” and was willing to try anything. After my first visit he had treated 5-7 spots and told me that I might feel a little nauseous but that it would be normal. 3 days later I had the worst vomiting fits I have ever experienced in my life. I thought I was doing permanent damage to my insides it hurt so bad. I ended up in the emergency room thinking I had re-collapsed my lung. My next visit with the doc he was very surprised to hear my reaction. He thought that it might have been due to all the spots we did the first time around and this time he would only do 1. 3 days later… same thing.
I ended up having him do it one more time and on the third time he did something that now causes me daily pain. I was having an issue with my right chest muscle and the nipple area around it. He poked around under the nipple and at one point “hit bone”. This caused me a great deal of pain and I started to cry. I am a tough guy and consider myself to have a very high tolerance for pain. This was unbelievably painful.
That was the last time I had him treat me with his so called technique. For the next 8 months I only saw him to refill my medications. Thanks to what he did to my right nipple, I now have to wear Lidoderm patches almost daily. These patches cost between $7 and $15 each. I do not have insurance.
In June of this year a couple days before my next appointment he informed me that he was moving his office. Over the next 3 months I saw him in a local parking lot. I would pay him his “fee” and he would write my prescriptions. I kept hearing stories about how he was about to get a new office. I guess looking back now I should have started looking for a new doctor then. But without insurance and the cost of a first time appointment… I really had no choice.
The last time I saw Dr. Schaut was on August 3rd. He refilled my meds and his last words were “see you next month.” I have not talked to him since. I have spent the last 4 weeks emailing and calling him. Normally he answers my msgs within hours. His old office line is now disconnected but I have his cell number. Calls continue to go unreturned.
I thought maybe something had happened to him or he was on vacation. But he has since changed his voice mail message AND has found time to post on social Internet sites. I find this behavior beyond unethical, it should be criminal. From all that I have read and heard, a doctor CANNOT abandon a patient without notice and he MUST release my records. I am on a large heavy narcotic dose of medications that CANNOT be stopped suddenly. The risks include stroke, heart attack, and even death.
I am having trouble getting a new doctor because this area of medicine is usually a referral business. Without my notes from Dr. Schaut I am left hanging with no recourse. I have spent the last week trying to find a new doctor without any results.
I cannot get a response from him so I am left with this website. I have all but begged for a response and he continues to ignore me. All it takes is a simple phone call (weeks ago) to say that he can no longer see me. This is what you would think an ethical doctor would do.
This website was purchased by me as a favor for the doctor. I was going to help him create a presence on the Internet. Come to think of it, I didn’t get so much as a thank you or a discount on “services”. A real stand up guy this Dr. Schaut is. (sarcasm)
I have registered a complaint with the Colorado Board of Medical Examiners and I will be pursuing any legal remedies I may have. He may be guilty of some sort of malpractice. I am going to find out.
I am looking for any former patients of Dr. Schaut who would be willing to share their story with me. (good or bad) Please email me @ SchautAware@gmail.com
If you are Dr. Schaut visiting this page…. SHAME ON YOU.
For everyone else, steer clear of this quack.
More to come….
