It's mid-June. I highly doubt that I'm the first person to tell you the current reimbursement system is screwed up. I was told by a vascular attending today that a saphenous vein ablation done in the office pays the same as a ruptured AAA including 90 days of post-op follow-up.
By the end of the day, I'm really glad that there are plenty of doctors who choose to do things based on reasons other than payment. If we were to be business men/women, many specialties would have been dead a decade ago, because economically it makes zero sense.
