Not sure what to think here!
On the one hand, as a computer support geek, outsourcing to India has put a very noticable dent in my job prospects over the last few years. In the 1990s, I was constantly receiving job offers. Now I have trouble getting interviews.
On the other, from 2000 to 2004 I was the sole caregiver for my father after his stroke. 24x7x365, with a minor break if I could find a friend to watch him while I went to the store.
It was physically and mentally draining. Tube feeding, crushing his rock-hard pills to pump through his feeding tube, bathing him, cleaning him and changing him after movements, transfering him to his chair, turning his fan up, turning it down, finding his TV remote lost in his bedcovers.
I imagine as a regular, 40 hours a week job, go home when you are done, it would still be tough. But when you are CONSTANTLY on call, getting woken when your patient is banging the floor with his cane at 3:00am because he can’t find the remote...it can get crushing!
I can't disagree with you on that - as I mentioned in my post #15. HOWEVER, that is what a nursing home is for. The man wouldn't have to pay one dime out of his pocket if he put them in one and they ran through their money. The issue is that he doesn't want them to run through their money, and actually is enjoying the fact that they're being in India is allowing for an increase in their net worth. He'd rather have them half-way around the world and building up his inheritance than nearby where he could visit them but without any money at the end. He views them only as sacks of flesh that produce money, not as his parents. DISGUSTING!!!
