Patient Experience
A 28-year-old nomadic beekeeper from rural Anatolia presented with cyclical abdominal pain coinciding with his migration routes. Dr. Günay discovered a rare parasitic infection from consuming raw honeycomb in specific regions, requiring a tailored antiparasitic regimen synchronized with the patient's travel calendar.
A 72-year-old retired deep-sea diver with Barrett's esophagus developed unusual submucosal lesions. Dr. Günay correlated them with decades of rapid pressure changes during ascents, designing a novel combination of cryoablation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy that reversed precancerous changes.
A 19-year-old competitive freediver training in the Aegean presented with recurrent hematemesis after depth attempts. Dr. Günay diagnosed gastric barotrauma from extreme breath-holding pressures, creating a multidisciplinary protocol with diving physicians to safely continue her athletic career.
A 45-year-old mosaic artist using traditional lead-based glazes developed colonic lead deposits mimicking Crohn's disease. Dr. Günay identified the occupational toxicity through hair mineral analysis and coordinated chelation therapy with workplace modifications for her studio.
