Eşim Ahmet Özbilenin kalbi besleyen ana damarında incelme ve tıkanma olduğu ve biran önce ameliyat olması gerektiğini öğrendik. Teşhisi koyan hastanede ameliyatın hayati risk taşıdığı bilgisi bizi bir hayli sarsmıştı.
Yaptığımız araştırma sonucunda Hakan Hocanın bu ameliyatlarda çok başarılı olduğunu öğrendik. Hemen koordinatörü olan Şengül Solmaza ulaştık ve bizi süreç hakkında bilgilendirerek randevu ayarladı. Prof. Dr. Hakan Gerçekoğlu ve Doç. Dr. Tufan Şener bizi konu hakkında detaylı ve anlaşılır şekilde bilgilendirerek içimizi rahatlattılar. Yoğun olmalarına rağmen işlemin aciliyeti nedeni ile 2.ameliyat olarak eşimi ameliyata aldılar.
Çok şükür ameliyat çok başarılı geçti, eşimin iyileşme ve toparlanma süreci çok hızlı oldu. Bu süreçte Hakan hoca ve Tufan Hoca hergün bizleri ziyaret ederek yakinen ilgilendiler.
Ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası değerli hocalarımızın ilgileri ve emekleri için çok teşekkür ediyoruz.
Bir doktor olmaktan önce harika bir insan. Eşimi yeniden sağlığına kavuşturdu. Gözünüz kapalı kalbinizi ve sevdiklerinizi emanet edebilirsiniz. Bize dünyaları bağışladı. Sihirli ellerinize sağlık. Teşekkürlerimizle...
