Come to think of this, it always felt awkward to be reimbursed $50 for a Stellate block with fluoro or less than $20 for an intercostal block with fluoro. Risky procedures with difficult patients for almost free vs some suit making serious $$$ for shaking hands and scripts. This system is so broken. (Source: Student Doctor Network)
