I will certainly pray anyone under any kind of hazardous actions.  What an awful thing to endure.  Human life is so precious.

The part that really, really bugs me is the part they put in parentheses down there.

Description:

We're looking for a place to outsource our transcription to. Over seas is fine if you can deliver a quality product. We intend to wholesale your service to our physicians. We have over 1500 physicians what utilize our other services, and we want to add transcription to the mix.  You would need to have the ability to handle a large load of work, have the infrastructure to deal with it, and the ability to make our service look seamless (look like we're doing the work for the physician). Finally, you must be able to deliver us a per line charge that will allow us to add a profit, and remain competitive.

I am sorry to hear of your loss.  We might as well  face it, this industry is going to the birds.  I have lost four Docs because of outsourcing to India.  It is a shame that the Docs have to find a cheap way out because of all the overhead, malpractice, etc. that they have to pay.  I have been in this for four years and I thank God that I have 12 years doing medical billing, for which I am going back to school to do coding.  There is no job security in this industry, you are treated like dirt, you do not get paid on time and not treated like an employee should be and now EMR.  What is next?  Robots to do patient care?  Good luck to you, but I feel this is just a little wakening up call to all of us that things are changing and not for the good.

One of the reasons there is still such poverty there is that India still has the caste system.  While becoming more westernized has improved the quality of living for the majority of Indians, those in the lower caste are not allowed the same opportunities.  They live in squalor without running water, food, education, etc.

Interesting article in "The Record".  Would love to hear opinions on this.

Please tell me they are not only undercutting us in pricing, but they are also getting  a break on the CMT exam?  I am "saving up" to take it! – see below from MT India

I'm not real sure I see your point. 

I'm not being difficult.  I just don't understand how a fire would cause companies to not outsource.

There were fires in California.  There was a hurricane in Texas.  I am quite sure these two disasters did not spare places where medical records are kept.
