    Warrant issued for "Egypt's Jon Stewart

    in Middle East and North Africa

    Posted

    Ya it's pretty big news over there and he's really funny. Anyone else have to have the concept of satire conversation with their Egyptian SO or family?

    My husband and I get it and don't think it's going to far because we understand the humor. However from what I understand the comedian is in pretty big trouble with those that are the butt end of the jokes that have the power to do something about it. Freedom of speech and the concept of satire on broadcast television and making others look bad through his brand of comedy is kind of a new thing. He's doing a new thing mopping the floor with them and may be the screwed one. Not everyone gets it like those of us in the West. We've been doing this democracy thing for awhile longer though. Plus you know the thing about never scratch an Arab man's pride or you'll rue the day burning in his fire.

    From the news today the comedian said he would go to the officials house and turn himself in because he doesn't want to give them the satisfaction of coming to his house and making a scene. I guess there is something else going on with the officials or judges there and being illegally appointed. I don't understand it all myself but is seems the comedian and others are in doubt about an investigation getting started on him because of what's going on with the officials there themselves. Plus they're saying this is the old system of corruption and this isn't a new trick. They're just doing the same old thing they know how to do with the people they don't like.

    We had a big family night around the TV with auntie and cousins watching it and they laughed themselves to tears! That was on FIL's side. On MIL's side I think they would mostly get it lol-- maybe a few elders might not...idk. My girlfriend over there-- her and her family 'gets' it too. idk...

    Sad really-- but I think he's known for some time that he is really walking a thin line. He is public enough though that if they're going to make an example out of them, they are going to have the world really glaring.

    Our results in Denmark took about a week to get back to the doctor. Then, we have to wait for him to send him them out and actually arrive and be processed in Sweden. So it will be over 2 weeks since our appointment until the results are in the embassy's hands.

    Ours are completely dependent on picking them up so at the 2 week mark they're not even done at the office. But its interesting and somewhat consoling to know that its not unheard of for it to take 7 days to be doctor reviewed. I was under the impression that the doctor was discussing and reviewing with the beneficiary during the appointment.

    (Move to most appropriate forum plz)

    What is the typical time it takes to get medical results in other countries/facilities?

    They told us 7-10 days to get results. We only had 17 to get it done. At 10 days they say the doctor took a 3 day leave and will be delayed in processing. Now its been 2 weeks and the results are still not done. I find it unacceptable but perhaps this is the norm around the world?

    The other facility offering physicals said they couldn't even get us an appointment before the interview date-- they had about a 3 week wait for an appointment. This one took walk ins and my husband was able to get in the first business day following interview notification.

    UPDATE:

    They said 7-10 days to get the results. At 10 days they said "the doctor had 3 days off so she is delayed in reviewing the cases My husband stresses the fact that his interview is only days away. It will be ready NO LATER than Saturday." Saturday is a full 2 weeks since DH's exam. After spending the morning (Saturday) there trying to get his results, they are still not ready. "They'll be ready by tomorrow," says 'they.'

    alhamdulillah.

    Oh did they want the Egyptian passport sized photos!? That is good to know :) Thanks! :thumbs:

    I don't know what they wanted, or if it makes a difference. I am asking if anyone had any experience with this. That is what he gave them. (isA) It is ok, I hope. They did not say anything at that point. I don't know if it will be a problem later.

    Goes to show that you mush spell out every detail for your significant other, because sometimes you think you are on the same page...but you're not. :D

    I'm not sure how it is in Egypt but I know for the UK you can bring UK sized passport photos to the medical but we need to bring US sized ones to the interview!

    Cat

    Hope thats the case. They didn't say anything at the medical about it.
