15.10.24te 9 yıldır korktuğum yaptıramadığım endoskopiyi tarafına yaptırdım.3 gün sonra patolojiden sonuçlar geldi görüşmeye gittim. Önemli birşey olmadığını gastrit olduğunu söyledi ve raporda o şekildeydi. Ne yiyip ne içmeyip dediğimde sadece sigara içme dedi ve ilaç yazdı. 2 ay sonra tekrar gel dedi. 26.11.2024 tarihinde sonradan gidemeyeceğim için gittim ve bana neyin var dedi bende mide yanması vardı endoskopi yaptınız dedim. Sende reflü var dedi bende gastrit demiştiniz raporda öyle dediğimde sen rapora bakma sana o günde reflü dedim ama endoskopi sonrası ilaç etkisi dolayısıyla hatırlamıyorsun dedi ama görüşmeyi endoskopiden 3 gün sonra yaptık kendisi hatırlamıyor, konuyu uzatmak istemediğim için birşey demedim. Neyden uzak durayım neyim var benim endoskopi sonucu ne çıktı diye sorularıma hep tepkiyle yaklaştı ve kendisinden net bir cevap alamadım. Şu an ki şikayetlerimi söyledim ne kadar süre devam ederse görüşelim dedim ve aldığım cevap görüşmeyelim oldu. Tavsiye etmiyorum.
07.Eylül 2024 günü bana ve oğluma yapılan çok başarılı gastroskopi işlemlerinde başta hocamız Prof Dr. Levent Doğanay beye ve ekibine gastroenteroloji bölümü koordinatörü Burcu Hasdemir hanıma ve ekibine randevu ,planlama ,operasyon, ilgi ve alakalarından ötürü çok çok teşekkür ederiz. Çok olumlu duygularla hastanenizden ayrıldık. İyiki varsınız.

28.10.2015 tarihinde kolonoskopiye girdim.
işlem yaklaşık 5 dakika sürdü.Ağrılarımdan dolayı 3 kere ilaç verildi.
işlem bittikten sonra ve ilaçların etkisi geçince , çektiğim ağrıların tarifi yok.
Sedyede yatan insan.Bunun bilincinde olunması lazım.
Bizler kendimizi hekimlerimize emanet ediyor ve birşey sorgulamıyoruz.
Lütfen siz de hastalarınıza karşı dikkatli olunuz.
Aceleniz var ise işleme hiç başlamayın.Ne aileniz ne de siz, benim hayır duamı almayın.
