Spec. MD. Halil Esenli

A 72-year-old retired silk weaver from Bursa's historic Koza Han district was admitted with unexplained weight loss and abdominal pain. Despite extensive prior testing elsewhere, Dr. Esenli identified a pattern of intermittent mesenteric ischemia triggered by a previously undiagnosed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. He coordinated a minimally invasive vascular intervention and started a carefully titrated anticoagulant, allowing the patient to resume his traditional craft teaching within weeks.

A 19-year-old international university student from Central Asia presented with severe fatigue and cognitive fog. Other doctors had dismissed it as stress. Dr. Esenli discovered a complex nutritional deficiency syndrome involving both vitamin B12 malabsorption and a rare copper-zinc imbalance, exacerbated by a genetic polymorphism common in her region. A personalized supplementation plan and dietary adjustments led to complete resolution of symptoms over two months.

A 41-year-old long-haul truck driver was referred for resistant hypertension. Dr. Esenli identified not just sleep apnea, but a circadian rhythm disorder exacerbated by irregular shift patterns crossing multiple time zones. The treatment involved timed medication administration, blue light therapy during specific driving hours, and a negotiated schedule adjustment with his employer, resulting in normalized blood pressure without additional drugs.

An 8-year-old child, recently adopted from a conflict zone, presented with failure to thrive and recurrent infections. Dr. Esenli diagnosed a combination of latent tropical parasites and severe post-traumatic stress affecting cortisol regulation. His holistic approach involved coordinated antiparasitic treatment, psychological support integration, and a gradual nutritional rebuilding protocol, leading to dramatic physical and developmental catch-up over six months.

A 28-year-old female competitive freediver presented with recurrent episodes of confusion and headache after deep dives. Dr. Esenli, suspecting a rare form of dysbaric illness affecting nitrogen narcosis thresholds, collaborated with hyperbaric specialists. He initiated a novel regimen of controlled oxygen pre-breathing protocols and prescribed a specific diuretic to manage suspected cerebral fluid shifts. The patient returned to competitive diving within three months with modified safety parameters.
