Your Privacy and Offshore Outsourcing

Posted by michael on from the what-privacy-policy? dept.

An anonymous reader sends in a link to this story about medical transcription work and patient privacy. You probably recall the original story (from around October 2003), but the Chronicle here does a great job of tracing the entire chain of sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-contracting.

      The IMBD entry is incorrect. They have it as a "Comedy" when it is a documentary.

      It is the actual biography of our very own Michael Sims.

    are busy making it harder to sue and capping awards under the guise of so-called tort reform

    So you agree that many doctors should have to have malpractice insurance that runs $50,000 - $100,000 a year?

    Interesting.

    Why shouldn't there be a cap? I suffered due to a mistake so now I deserve to be filthy rich? Give me a break.

    My father died because a doctor misdiagnosed a problem with his heart. I have failed to see how my mother or I would should be allowed to sue for $X million because of that.

    Nor will they be, until you can ante up a few million in bribes. Sorry, donations.

    Why do you think we're still in this situation? Because of the bribes the lawyers groups feed our politicians.

    From 1983 - by the Circle Jerks
    Song -> When The Shit Hits The Fan

    in a sluggish economy
    inflation,recession
    hits the land of the free
    standing in unemployment lines
    blame the government for hard time
    we just get by
    however we can
    we all gotta duck
    when the shit hits the fan
    10 kids in a cadillac
    stand in lines for welfare checks
    let's all leach off the state
    gee!the money's really great!
    soup lines
    free loaves of bread
    5lb blocks of cheese
    bags of groceries
    social security
    has run out on you and me
    we do whatever we can
    gotta duck when the shit hits the fan
