OK, so I had the medical at the Anglo-American Hospital today! It went well – I think? Results pending! – but a few pointers about some surprises from the morning:
There were three parts to the medical: lab works (blood, urine), chest x-ray, and a consult with the doctor. People did different bits in different orders...
The whole thing took 4.5 hours, start to finish, so bring a book, or a snack, or both... We got there at 9, left at 1:30pm. I think they told everybody to come at 9am, so there was a lot of waiting around... Not sure how other hospitals are, but AAH was busy.
Contrary to the pdf instructions, I was told I needed 7 photos, not 3—1 for x-ray, 2 for labs, 4 for doctor's paperwork. (When I said that the pdf said 3, they told me malesh, but I can bring the photos when I come collect the final papers in a week).
As of 1 October 2016, there is a compulsory gonorrhea test, which is LE 700, on top of other labs. I thought I brought enough cash, but it was tight.
Whole thing cost me LE 1230:
Chest x-ray: LE 150
Lab work: LE 700
Doctor's consult: LE 300
Missing vaccinations: LE 80
