Bedirhan Kahraman, MD

Bedirhan Kahraman, MD is a physician in the Emergency Service at Acibadem Taksim Hospital in İstanbul. His clinical work centers on the early assessment and management of acute presentations, including trauma, insect bites and stings, and environmental emergencies such as drowning, acute hypoxia, and airway obstruction. He has more than three years of experience in medicine and speaks Turkish and English.

Dr. Kahraman graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Medicine in 2023. In 2025 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where he works in the Emergency Service unit. His role involves the prompt evaluation of patients with acute concerns and the coordination of further care within the hospital when a condition requires it.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Kahraman’s practice concerns trauma and injury-related presentations. In the emergency setting, this involves a structured initial assessment, attention to the airway, breathing, and circulation, and a decision about which examinations or imaging are needed before further treatment is planned. He also sees patients with insect bites and stings, including bee stings and tick bites. Such reactions vary widely, from local skin irritation to more pronounced systemic responses, and the emergency evaluation focuses on identifying the severity of the reaction, providing initial care, and advising on follow-up where appropriate.

Dr. Kahraman’s areas of interest also include environmental emergencies. These include drowning, acute hypoxia, and airway obstruction, all of which are conditions in which the immediate priority is to secure oxygenation and ventilation. Emergency care in these situations is time-sensitive, and his work involves rapid recognition of the problem, stabilization of the patient, and involvement of other departments for ongoing treatment as needed. Because emergency medicine deals with unpredictable and acute situations, each patient is assessed individually and management is adapted to the clinical picture at presentation.

How Dr. Kahraman works with international patients

Dr. Kahraman consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options. Because emergency care addresses acute situations, patients with urgent symptoms are seen through the Emergency Service; for questions that do not require immediate in-person care, video consultations are available for international patients, allowing an initial discussion before any travel is planned.
