Kooky,
It depends on where you are working in the Middle East as to what to expect culturally. There are a wide range of standards between somewhere like the UAE (most western) and somewhere like Saudi Arabia (more strict/ closed society).
As for the work- Diabetes is a huge issue here so high risk cases are the norm for a lot of the general hospitals. I work in a sports and orthopaedic specialist hospital and find that most people don't realise that Sports Podiatry exists. They think that Podiatry is mainly for Diabetic feet.
Not sure if this helps at all as you haven't given much in the way of details-
You can PM me if you would like more info.
