I also once considered one of those biomed positions at an oil company hospital just inland from the Gulf of Sirte (or, if you like, Sidra) - many moons ago now, though.
I was put off a bit by the long, drawn out hiring process (getting stuff notarised, and all the rest) and then the idea of 35 days on, 35 days off. As in:- where would I go (Malta, Cyprus)?
I couldn't really see how come the hospital staff had to follow the same working patterns as the (oil) workers at site.
Anyway, luckily, something came up in Saudi Arabia at about the same time, and so back off to the Asir Mountains I went.
Those
were happy days (don't ask about now).
