Ex-physician assistant who got nearly $50K for prescribing fentanyl spray on trial for fraud in NH

CONCORD -- Greed was the motive for the kickbacks, according to both a prosecutor and defense lawyer who addressed the jury during the opening of the trial of Christopher Clough, one of the top prescribers in the country of a fentanyl spray.

To federal prosecutor Seth Aframe, it was the greed of Clough, a one-time Somersworth physician assistant who received nearly $50,000 in kickbacks for writing more than 700 prescriptions of the Subsys fentanyl spray.
