There are two things we Humans should accept in life, one being unnervingly optimistic even in highly impossible situations and second and most annoying of all, believing any type of testimonials and accepting it to be true without any second thought.
I say this basis my personal experience, because today I am actually annoyed at our immaturity towards decision making. No this is not on account of any type of loss which I have suffered, but it is on account of all the losses WE as humans are suffering from.
One brilliant example would be outsourcing medical transcription. Accept it, they cost you a fortune in terms of time. Health professionals who’ve invested their man hours on medical transcription know how and what it costs (in terms of opportunity cost).
And when other countries offer to provide the same services at a cheaper rate we develop perceptions about them being unreliable and poor in quality.
India for one has been blamed to have outsourced really poor quality of medical aid. That would have happened once and people have generalized the whole country for it. This is indeed very disappointing. I myself have outsourced medical transcription to an Indian company called Acroseas Global Solutions, I didn’t find any such problem with my report. In fact, the transcriptions were accurate and impeccable.
We need to think from our heads and not from others’.
