Patient Experience
As a 78-year-old retired history professor with complex polypharmacy, I was experiencing alarming cognitive fog and fatigue. Dr. Şahin didn't just adjust my medications; he spent two hours mapping my entire medical history, identifying three conflicting prescriptions from different specialists. His holistic deprescribing approach restored my mental clarity within weeks, allowing me to complete my memoir.
During my solo backpacking trip across Turkey, I developed severe altitude sickness in the Taurus Mountains. Rushed to Adana Hospital, I was a disoriented 24-year-old foreigner with no Turkish language skills. Dr. Şahin not only stabilized my cerebral edema but personally coordinated with my embassy and family in Norway, creating a recovery plan that allowed me to continue my journey a month later.
Our 8-year-old daughter, diagnosed with a rare autoimmune complication following a viral infection, was referred to Dr. Şahin after three misdiagnoses. He identified macrophage activation syndrome masquerading as common juvenile arthritis. His immediate intervention with targeted immunosuppressants prevented organ damage. He explained everything using dinosaur analogies our daughter understood.
I'm a 42-year-old commercial airline pilot who developed unexplained recurrent fevers that threatened my medical certification. Dr. Şahin ordered a specialized PET scan others had dismissed, revealing occult adult-onset Still's disease. His precise treatment protocol and detailed documentation to aviation authorities preserved my career while managing the condition.
