We already have a lot of dental-tourists and health-tourists. It is apparently cheaper to fly to India, travel around a bit and get dental surgery/other medical procedures performed in good hospitals than it is to avail of the same procedures back home. US and UK citizens form the bulk of these 'health tourists'. Also, the UK hospitals/clinics have started flying in Indian doctors on weekends to perform surgeries etc - the newspapers are flooded with advertisements for the same. Apparently there is a shortage of doctors over there. I haven't heard much about lawyers but the accounting firms also get a lot of business from overseas, especially US corporations. It is impossible to find a CA free enough to file in tax returns this time of the year unless you book one well in advance.
