Unhealthy but unavoidable .. look at what happened to radiology. Outsourcing is an unavoidable consequence of any business model relying on computers. Loosing the human touch is the consequence but on the other hand there are many doctors already in India who practice on the basis of radiology rather than "wasting" time with the touch in form of a physical examination.
That said I believe in the principle of if you cant beat them join them… Infact starting just such a facility for the lazy fellows in US would be " … just good buisness" - to quote the erstwhile captain

You are right Hari, its being done since we don't want to work hard. In kind of brachy procedure requires some surgical skills and is labor intensive, its our fault that we have kept out of operating rooms and are happy doing technicians jobs once the implant is done. By the way Baloon breast brachy is also done by surgeons and for gyn ICA insertions many centre have GYN-Onc surgeon to sound the uterus.
It will probably not hit India becoz of the systems that we follow.
http://mapofmedicine.com/ and http://www.zynxhealth.com/ , people here are working towards getting rid of paper charts and are talking about systems that will talk to each other and data sharing. We are no where in this picture. If US starts outsourcing treatment plans then we will have many more radiation oncologist sitting at home and working on computers rather than patients.

I believe there is a trend in the US towards brachytherapy being done by the surgeons-urologists doing prostate etc.And also corporates using teleconferencing and telemedicine to outsource treatment planning so that a single physician can run an onco facility.This will probably hit India soon .Maybe we should become the leaders in this treatment planning outsourcing(TPO).Does everyone believe this is a healthy trend?

Surely it wont be possible where will i get my pens from yaar? That said I am sure there will be hundreds of legal loopholes from which the errant doc can escape.

Can the MCI derecognize a doctor based on this? I can understand that the MCI recognizes it as unethical, but is that enough to derecognize or de-licence someone? I am not sure of the legal implications of this. How are doctors supposed to know of this new rule that has secretly come into the picture?
Does anyone have an idea?
