New Hampshire Union Leader - Quotes Seddon Savage, adjunct associate professor of anesthesiology and a member of the New Hampshire Governor's Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention, Treatment and Recovery, about how doctors at specialty pain clinics usually concentrate on treatments and procedures, while nurse practitioners and physician assistants handle medications and prescriptions. "Prescribing opioids, particularly prescribing them well, is very time-consuming," says Savage. "I think everyone needs more training."
