Since the topic of offshoring seems to be of interest to a number of the 
active members, I thought this article would be of interest.  It makes the 
point that after most of us geeks lose our jobs to India, doctors and 
other healthcare practitioners are next (not the general practitioners... 
yet... but heart & brain specialists are fingered as going first).

Of course, a number of people here are going to get hit with a double 
whammie if that happens.  I'm referring, of course, to IT professionals 
who support healthcare specialists.  Even if your job doesn't get 
offshored directly, it might be indirectly when your "customers" (i.e. 
doctors, nurses, clinical technicians, etc) are offshored by insurance 
providers.
