I agree with a lot of what you wrote. But I think that there are many incentives driving procedure volumes. The hospitals like the revenue. The attending physicians like the revenue, the prestige, and the time away from clinic. The patients feel like something is being done. And the training is like the experience.

There are lots of drivers to procedure volumes. Maybe the device companies have a little influence on this, but they are from the dominant one.
