"ROTFL: You don't mean outsourcing doctors?
STEVEMAN: We do. We've analyzed actual doctor-patient encounters and found that very little goes on that requires the doctor to be physically present. You get just as good results with the patient at one end of a high-bandwidth connection, at his HMO in, say, Connecticut, and with the doctor at the other end of the connection in Bangalore. And everything I said about librarians applies to physicians. India has some of the finest medical schools in the world."
