İlke Tıp Merkezi'nde dahiliye uzmanı Doktor Kemal Canayak'a şiddetli karın ağrısı, titreme, üşüme ve halsizlik için kontrole gittim. Yapılan tetkikler sonucunda safra kesemde taş olduğu anlaşıldı ve Özel Egepol Hastanesi gastroenteroloji uzman doktoru Murat Aslan safrakesesi kanalıma düşen iki taşın EPRC ile alınması gerektiğini söyledi ve beni bir üst tıp merkezine yönlendirdi. Ege Üniversitesi Tıp. Fak. gastroenteroloji bölümünde görevli Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ömer Özütemiz EPRC yöntemi ile ameliyatımı gerçekleştirdi ve iki taşı da aldı. Sonunda rahata kavuşabildim. Sayın hocama minnet ve şükranlarımı iletiyorum. Çok teşekkürler.
