*Set aside Glenn Beck, his needless and uninvited, racist and bias remarks against whole nation of India ----- absolutely rubbish. *
Sure as shooting, most Americans, and, or immigrants, who attain medical education abroad as compare to people attending Med schools at home are not only equally witty, adroitly impressive and strikingly competent but also in some cases proven better. There are many outstanding Med Schools all across the globe ----- which, not only have strove for being competitive with U.S. Med schools for decades but also continue to make strenuous efforts to be the finest of the finest, in spite of being at their best for their state of the art ways to impart knowledge and skills and excellent modus oper-andi these schools are also relatively cheaper as compared to Med Schools within United States.
There seem to be a little jumble that is perhaps taking us adrift and off course from the gist of the argument here, as I have previously mentioned in my posts that it is neither about IMGs and USMGs nor Glenn Beck and his racist views and nor about India for that matter, but essence of this discussion is offshore outsourcing US jobs.
I do not mean to be disrespectful here but let me ask you an honest question, since you are a Med School graduate, you have obviously worked very hard and spent loads of dollars to get where you are right now, after so many years of hard work and taking such a huge pecuniary burden ----- would you want your patients to go abroad to get medical treatment regardless of financial aspects of these actions and the quality of the service they get ----- I would assume that you would not, but please correct me by all means if I am wrong here ----- and that’s exactly I was referring to in my earlier posts.
I would not consider overwhelming majority of Americans going to India or any other country for medical treatment but certainly there are some who would go to these countries completely overlooking the risks factors involved and without having to consider the opportunity cost that needs to be paid in the future.
Offshore outsourcing was thought to be America’s ultimate competitive advantage in the past, but it has proven to be a grave challenge today, after trying to beat each other in the contest of speed that led to the knee jerk acceptance to offshore outsourcing by corporate America ----- just to save few dollars ----- America has experienced a huge setback in manufacturing sector where 2.7 million jobs have been lost since 2000, IT industries which is defined to include four major segments 1) Computer Hardware, 2) Communications Equipment 3) Communications Services 4) Software and Computer Services have been the hardest hit since early 2000s where 14 million U.S. jobs were at risk of being exporting over the next 15 years and guess what ----- these jobs are gone ----- just for the IT industries from $800 billion to $900 billion in wages each year have already moved offshore.
Banks, insurance companies, mortgage lenders, credit card companies, airlines, utility providers and many more are among the corporations that offshore outsource American jobs such as data entry, call centers telemarketing, accounting, human resources and help desk.
Major U.S. corporations such as Bank of America, Dell, American Express, Citicorp, Chrysler, IBM, Oracle, Delta Air Lines and many more have thousands of employes in India, Philippines, China, Russia, Ireland, Israel, Poland, Malaysia and even Canada, thus the bottom line is that the loss of our manufacturing, services and IT jobs is real and it is causing pain to our workers. The problem is complex and has to be addressed properly and immediately.
P.S. I was not able to type word Modus oper-andi due to the abusive language restrictions of GS so I have added a DASH in the middle of the word, I am sure that none of you would have any problem understanding the word but if you do just remove the DASH!
I guess above English word sounds like a bad woman in Urdu!
Nuff said!
