A new case when Indian students helping out US lawyers. Indian doctors have come up to the rescue.
$300/hour jobs may or may not be outsourced to developing countries, but the offshore outsourcing market is growing like anything. And believe me the when the news spread, it makes an impact on other wannabes too. After all, everyone wants to get the work done cheaply. So, why not get service assistance from India normally cost between $500-$800 an hour? A new use of India via St. Petersburg Times
Sims, the Ocala lawyer, incorporates India into her law practice with a twist on the typical outsourcing model.
After a positive experience with doctors on a trip there, she started MD in a Box. For $90 an hour, the company links lawyers with Indian doctors who screen potential cases, analyze records and perform medical research. The same service with American experts costs between $500 and $800 an hour, Sims said.
The company's most powerful tool is also its most technologically advanced. Lawyers can hire an MD in a Box doctor to be present during depositions using Skype, a software program that allows the doctor to listen to the proceedings in real time.
If the Indian doctors catch a defense expert making a medically suspicious claim, they quickly send literature or rebuttal questions to aid the cross-examination.
Since MD in a Box opened for business last year, a handful of Tampa Bay lawyers have become happy customers.
