Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired archaeology professor, I collapsed during a lecture from internal bleeding I didn't know I had. Dr. Aksoy didn't just stabilize me, he recognized my rare blood disorder from a single case study he'd read years prior. His team performed a targeted transfusion protocol he designed on the spot, saving me from what three other hospitals had missed during previous episodes. He later visited my recovery room to discuss Byzantine medical history.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, suffered a complex pelvic fracture during a training accident. Dr. Aksoy coordinated with pediatric orthopedics while managing her shock. What stood out was how he explained the procedure to her using gymnastics metaphors ('we're going to balance your bones like a perfect landing'). Six months later, she's back training, and he still checks in with her coach about her progress.
I'm a 34-year-old marine biologist who was stung by an unknown species during a Black Sea dive. By the time I reached Liv Hospital, I was in multi-organ failure. Dr. Aksoy identified it as a rare cnidarian envenomation and contacted my research team for the specimen photos. He administered an antivenin cocktail while simultaneously publishing a case alert to warn other divers. He turned my emergency into lifesaving research.
My husband, a 59-year-old clockmaker, had a silent heart attack while repairing a 17th-century tower clock. Dr. Aksoy noticed his hands were still making precise movements despite the cardiac event, a detail that changed the treatment approach. Instead of standard protocols, he used targeted hypothermia to preserve fine motor function. My husband regained full dexterity and recently completed his most complex restoration.
As a 41-year-old professional pastry chef, I suffered third-degree oil burns across my arms during a kitchen fire. Dr. Aksoy created a unique cooling and debridement technique using sterile kitchen tools he had specially sterilized, saying 'I need to work with your tools of trade.' He preserved nerve function so completely that I regained the tactile sensitivity needed for sugar work within months.
Our 6-month-old twins both contracted a mysterious respiratory virus. Dr. Aksoy noticed their symptoms were mirror opposites, one's left lung affected, the other's right. He theorized a congenital synchronization and treated them in the same room, coordinating their breathing treatments. His unconventional approach led to a published paper on twin medical symmetry that's changing neonatal emergency care.
I'm a 28-year-old software engineer who developed sudden paralysis after coding for 72 hours straight. Dr. Aksoy diagnosed a rare spinal infarction, but instead of just emergency surgery, he analyzed my workstation setup and posture patterns. His surgical approach specifically addressed the asymmetrical pressure points from my ergonomic chair. He later emailed me customized stretching protocols for programmers.
My 83-year-old grandmother, a former calligrapher, fell and fractured her dominant wrist. Dr. Aksoy understood that preserving her artistic ability was crucial to her cognitive health. He performed a microsurgical reconstruction usually reserved for concert musicians, then designed a calligraphy-based physical therapy program. She recently completed her first manuscript since the accident.
As a 45-year-old mountain guide, I survived an avalanche with crush injuries and severe hypothermia. Dr. Aksoy used a wilderness medicine technique I'd never seen in a hospital, snow melt rewarming, adapting it with sterile equipment. He simultaneously managed my compartment syndrome while maintaining perfect core temperature control. I returned to guiding eight months later.
My 17-year-old son, a promising violinist, was in a car accident that threatened his bowing arm. Dr. Aksoy consulted with a conservatory professor during surgery to understand the precise muscular mechanics involved. He repaired not just for function, but for the subtle movements required for vibrato. My son performed his conservatory audition six months later and was accepted.
I'm a 52-year-old historical reenactor who suffered a spear wound during a medieval festival, a injury pattern no urban ER had seen. Dr. Aksoy researched 14th-century surgical texts while managing my pneumothorax, then used a modified ancient drainage technique that minimized scarring for authenticity in future reenactments. He even documented the case for historical medicine journals.
Our 3-year-old swallowed multiple high-powered magnets. Dr. Aksoy didn't just remove them, he created a 3D-printed model of their configuration in her intestines to demonstrate to us how they were causing fistulas. He then developed a magnet safety protocol now used in kindergartens across Istanbul. His approach turned our scare into preventive education for thousands.
As a 60-year-old deep-sea fisherman, I was impaled by a swordfish bill. Dr. Aksoy recognized the unique barb structure required specialized extraction to prevent tearing. He contacted an ichthyologist during the procedure and used a rotational removal technique inspired by how sharks dislodge from prey. I returned to fishing with a scar that's now my best sea story.
My 31-year-old wife, a professional perfume nose, lost her sense of smell after a head trauma. Dr. Aksoy developed an olfactory rehabilitation program using scent gradient therapy, collaborating with her perfume house to create medical-grade scent strips. He treated her anosmia not as a neurological deficit, but as the loss of her artistic medium. She's now creating again.
