For the outpatient breast biopsy (I know, different procedure... but as an example) the cost was over $12,000 ($6,000 for the surgeon, $900 for the anesthesiologist, $5,000+ for the hospital use of a room, equipment, drugs, etc) ! Charity care at this hospital covered the use of hospital equipment and the room.
This muscle is named for its trapezoid shape. The trapezius muscle is a postural and active movement muscle, used to tilt and turn the head and neck, shrug, steady the shoulders, and twist the arms. The trapezius elevates, depresses, rotates, and retracts the scapula, or shoulder blade. Innervation of the trapezius is derived from the spinal accessory nerve.
The trap muscles are the only muscles which can lift the outside of your shoulders to create a âshrugâ. They move the head and neck toward the shoulder of the other side. The middle of the muscles pull the shoulder blades together, while the lower draw the shoulder blades downward. And remember to do your trap stretches. 2  Breastfeeding a baby with your shoulders hunched forward and the weight of the baby in your arms can cause trapezius muscle pain. 3  Check your posture and bring your shoulders back. 4  Do side-lying whenever possible.
