Patient Experience
A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Bodrum presented with recurrent episodes of severe abdominal pain and syncope during deep dives. Dr. Çolak discovered a rare case of mesenteric artery vasospasm triggered by extreme pressure changes and hypoxia. He collaborated with hyperbaric medicine specialists to develop a unique pre-dive medication protocol and breathing technique modification, allowing the patient to return to competition within three months without further incidents.
A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master with Parkinson's disease developed mysterious, cyclical vomiting episodes precisely every 11 days. Dr. Çolak identified a previously undocumented gastrointestinal manifestation of Parkinson's medication timing, where drug accumulation created a neuro-gastric feedback loop. He designed an asymmetric dosing schedule that synchronized with the patient's medication metabolism, completely resolving the pattern within six weeks.
A 19-year-old university student from a low-income family presented with what appeared to be treatment-resistant IBS. Dr. Çolak discovered she was secretly participating in clinical trials for extra income and had been taking seven different unmarked trial medications simultaneously. He secured hospital financial assistance, withdrew her from all trials, and implemented a careful detoxification protocol followed by targeted FODMAP elimination, achieving full symptom resolution.
A 41-year-old professional percussionist developed severe right upper quadrant pain that coincided exactly with specific low-frequency rhythms during performances. Dr. Çolak diagnosed hepatodiaphragmatic interposition exacerbated by controlled breath-holding during complex drum patterns. Treatment involved custom abdominal bracing designed with a sports medicine specialist and rhythmic breathing retraining, allowing return to stage within two months.
