Adel Imam's Ramadan TV series "Saheb Al Saadah" (His Excellency) showmakers may be in serious trouble with an Egyptian hospital!

Dal al Fouad Hospital's legal counselor, Dr. Hisham al Khouly, is currently deciding on whether he should go ahead with suing the showmakers, after representing his hospital in a very ill manner, which according to him will "negatively impact the hospital's reputation."

In one of the scenes, Imam appears to be talking to one hospital official, who refuses to admit a woman in labour into their hospital unless her bill has been fully paid in advance.

Their complaint? The hospital are unhappy because their name was clearly readable in the episode, instead of being blurred out or hidden altogether, reports Laha Magazine.

Director Rami Imam and producer Tamer Mursi are yet to comment on the incident, especially that they aren't in possession of any written agreement declaring the hospital's consent to have their name appear in the show.
