Kızımın trafik kazası sonucunda elini kullanmama durumu oldu. Gittiğimiz her doktor sakat kalacak dedi. Sonra Semih hocayla tanıştık. Kendisinden Allah bin kere razı olsun. Kızım artık elini kullanabiliyor. Üstelik tek bir ameliyatla oldu bu sonuç. Kendisinin bir psikolojik danışman gibi bizimle saa tlerce konuştuğunu hatırlarım. İlgisi alakası çok iyi. Çok başarılı doktor olmanın yanı sıra çok vicdanlı iyi kalpli. Allah başımızdan eksik etmesin. Başarıları daim olsun.

26 Mart'ta çok büyük bir trafik kazası geçirdim. Bunun sonucunda sağ el ve el bileğimde çok büyük kırıklar meydana geldi. Parmaklarımın tendonları kopuktu ve deri nakli oldum. Elimi asla kullanamiyordum çeşitli ameliyatlar oldum ama hiç biri fayda etmedi. Sonra Semih Dedeoğlu ve Yunus İmren hocam il e tanıştım. Her ikisi de o kadar ilgilendiki ve en önemlisi tek bir ameliyat ile elimi kullanılabilir hale getirdi. Kesilmekten kurtardılar. Bir abi, baba gibi yaklaştılar çok ilgilendiler. Yaptıkları mucizevi ameliyat sonrası şu an elimi eskisi gibi kullanabiliyorum. Sonsuz güven veren ve işinin ehli olan Semih hocama ve Yunus hocama ne kadar teşekkür etsem az. İyi ki sizin gibi doktorlar var..
