So how is it that some pain programs are corrupt and others are not? (I am informed that the pain center at USC does not - as a matter of policy - implant SCS's in CRPS patients.) I suppose it happens the moment a physician pitches a "center" as a profit-center to his or her technically non-profit institution.
Any other thoughts?
