I am not saying Peter is racist. Imagine if you are from Pakistan and working in Australia as radiologist, how would you feel? Or even if he meant radiologist in Pakistan reporting on his X-rays over Internet.

Bob,
I'm sorry, but it *is* necessary to interpret things. We are reading messages in written form devoid of the usual body language and hints that we get in a face to face situation. Even face to face we misunderstand each other at times.
If Peter said, as I believe, that he doesn't want his medical data shipped overseas so that somebody can reduce costs then I think that is perfectly reasonable. Another country does not necessarily have the same privacy laws or the same controls over the quality of medical practitioners as we do in Australia.
If Peter said that he doesn't want an Australian accredited doctor of Pakistani origin looking at his X-rays then that's a completely different thing. I don't think he said that and to me that was clear from what he wrote.
Cheers,
Rick.
