In Reply to: Heard anything about the Medquist Canada operation closing? - sg

I have heard that the ultimate goal is to close all state-side offices and operate everything out of India. I was told that this will probably happen before the end of the year. Again, I qualify this as saying this is not an official word, just speculation from someone whose opinion I respect. I think the writing is on the wall, especially for those (like me) who depended on the Q for a full-time job to support our families. Good luck, Canada!
