You posted the link to prove that if "Those laws would be the same in India or the companies sending work there would force that govt to do so like the compnuter cos forced them to put up anti-piracy laws as stringents as the ones here." by citing a different country that doesn't have as stringent laws

Now you know what my intentions are? Umm....tell you what....when something similar happens with an Indian transcriptionist, I'll look you up. I'm glad you think there would be a difference in enforcing any American law in India or Pakistan. Guess you'd rather your medical records be in a sweat shop in India rather than a sweat shop in Pakistan. Medical transcription is not rocket science, but there is a lot of room for error, and if a doctor dictates Celexa and the offshore transcriptionist interprets it as Celebrex, that's a big difference. If the doctor dictates 4 mg, and the offshore transcriptionist interprets it as 40 mg, that's a big difference....especially if it happens to be on a medication to be given to you or someone in your family.

Your medical transcriptionist could have been from the moon, and it wouldn't make a whit of difference. Essentially, you are arguing that Michigan drivers should be prohibited from driving in Illinois because a Michigan driver was once caught speeding there.

There is nothing inherently more "secure" about an American transcriptionist versus a foreign one. Your confidential medical record could just as easily be compromised by a criminal act here.

Different countries, different incidents. Just because Italy's Parmalat went bust with widespread embezzling doesn't mean that Sainsburys in the UK will do the same.

The companies would have the same level of care taken whether it's offshore or onshore -- or else they'll get sued with the lawyers not caring where the transciptionist was. Oh and there have been some incidents like that over here as well.
