A day in Sokhna

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

Yesterday, I went with Ihab to Ain Sokhna to inquire and make contacts with boat owners for a long awaited fishing trip we wanted to organise. Previously we had plans for Hurghada, but the distance and expenses would not make it an easy thing.

We met Rayes Alala, in Sadat Beach (30Km north of Ain Sohkhna). We struck a fine deal with him. We will be paying 200EGP for a boat that can carry 7 …

The bastards stole my camera

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

Some plain clothes police (they had a walkie-talkie) stole my camera and four or three of them dragged me from my shirt violently in the streets. They did the same to my friends. We were no directly upseting them we were just taking photos of another one of my firends being dragged and beaten.

I feel humiliated. They are so mean and invincible.

This happened infront of the Ministry of Justice and after almost everyone …

Repeated power cuts

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

WHAT IS WRONG with electricity these days. Eight (and sometimes more) power cuts a day are way too much. I can't stand it any more, I am getting extremely agitated by this. My computer hard drives will die soon. I am starting to think that this is a deliberate plan to prevent me from reading blog stories about last Wednesday.

Who is the Ministry of Energy and Electricity ? He is from El Omranya.

Go to Heaven

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

To all the assholes, who think that it is appropriate to leave the emergency room and go to the Al Fajr prayer. While the ER is full of patients and a dying 1 year old with only 2 doctors giving him CPR.

FUCK YOU

I hate Lebb even more now

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

Last Sunday, a father and mother came to the ER with their young daughter. A cute 1 year old was in severe stridor, dyspneic and breathing rapidly.

The mother said that the girl's father was watching TV and enjoying some Lebb. He offered his daughter one, the girl choked on it in seconds.

"What the .." I shouted in their face. "Why would you do that ? Don't you know that ..." I found it ridiculous to lecture …

remembering names

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

There is a big chance that I will not remember your name. You will tell me your name tomorrow, next day I will forget it. The weird thing is, if it is a totally alien name that comes from a different culture and easy to pronounce. I will remember it for several years.

My biology teacher in school, she happens to be a doctor, had the same problem. She only remembered few names in class …

Pediatrics take 2 ... and more

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

Started the pediatrics round, again.

Well, I need to explain this. The first ten days in the my internship. We were randomly distributed. I went to the pediatrics hospital in those few days. There, I got the worst flu in 15 years and had a good amount of grief and distress from the conditions of some children and the death of two of them.

After that, I had two months in Surgery. I learned lots …

Quick Break

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

All plans for ROC related matters collapse as everyone decides to abandon Cairo. Why not me then. I am in Marina for a couple of days.

UPDATE: I am back. Damn the me7war was so busy. I spent an hour in 8km. And as usual an air quality shock, while entering Cairo.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

Marina from space.

How to Blog Anonymously

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

Or, how to survive censorship.

What is going on with Bahraini web publishers is sad. They will be facing legal action if they don't register their sites with the government, including sites hosted on servers outside Bahrain.

The good thing is; Bahraini bloggers will do something about it.

What they are going to do will either back fire or provide them with the freedom they want. We, on the other hand, are entering a sensitive …

Updates on personal matters

in «Blogging & Personal» by moftasa

Well, I didn't blog about myself since this post. Three days later I started my General Surgery rotation. It is two months long. I had 10 days in pediatric surgery. Not much work, but the operations are very cool. Not enough to learn much though.

I learned lots of practical skills in the General Surgery and managed to see several operations. Unfortunately, the two months are approaching their end, and I didn't go to the …
