That is usually the best way of doing it. However, when you need to 
design something while constantly being out there in the clinics that 
doesn't work or else the guy might as well live in an airliner.

These are not strawmen. I have personally sought and hired people from 
overseas because there simply were not enough Americans available. We 
paid beaucoup bucks plus lots of moving expenses and whatnot. A high 
minimum pay would not have made a difference for us whatsoever. Just as 
it should be.

That is not really a mass product where a large company can rake in big 
bucks for years to come. However, such projects can also require hiring 
an overseas specialist.
