Emergency medicine is a hospital-based specialty concerned with the initial assessment and management of patients who present with acute illness or injury, and his day-to-day practice reflects this focus.

Clinical focus

Dr. Bozan’s areas of expertise are emergency interventions and trauma care. Emergency interventions describe the range of urgent measures that may be needed when a patient arrives with a sudden or rapidly changing medical problem. In this setting the priorities are usually a structured initial assessment, identification of conditions that need immediate attention, and the timely start of treatment or referral to the appropriate specialty. The specific steps depend on the individual patient, the findings on examination and the results of any tests that are performed.

Trauma care refers to the evaluation and initial management of patients who have sustained physical injuries, for example after a fall, a road traffic accident or another event. Care in the emergency setting commonly involves assessing the extent of the injuries, stabilizing the patient, arranging imaging or other investigations where indicated, and coordinating further treatment with other hospital departments when this is required. Because the nature and severity of injuries vary widely, the approach is adapted to each case, and decisions about further care are made on an individual basis.

How Dr. Bozan works with international patients

Dr. Bozan consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. For international patients, 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. The team also arranges appointments and organizes 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 available options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be useful for an initial discussion or for reviewing existing reports before any travel is considered. Emergency presentations by their nature require in-person assessment, and any observations shared remotely are general and subject to examination in the hospital.
