The best-selling book, "That Foolish Young Doctor," which contains the life and love story of a young doctor who lived as a "true doctor" and died at the age of 33, has been published in a revised edition after 9 years.
In addition to the fact that author Lee Ki-seop, who compiled the book, interviewed over a hundred people and compiled and published Su-hyeon's writings, he also corrects various situations that have changed over time and tells the story of how the seeds sown by the young foolish doctor Ahn Su-hyeon have grown into trees and are bearing fruit.


Why are so many people still seeking out "The Fool Doctor"? It's because the life of Fool Doctor Ahn Soo-hyun has had a positive influence on many.
Many who miss him cannot forget that he was a 'true doctor' who practiced love.
Author Lee Ki-seop, who compiled this book, and many others who helped, all say that they wanted to create a book that was good and had a positive influence, rather than a book that sold well.


He was different from other doctors because he practiced medicine according to God's teachings.
He was a true 'true doctor' who knew how to not only treat physical ailments but also deeply understand the hearts of his patients.
Just like Jesus, who came to this earth 2000 years ago, he gave everything he had to help the poor and the sick.
He then calmly said that he was simply following in the footsteps of Jesus.
Although he passed away at the young age of thirty-three, his dedication and passion still remain in our hearts.
I recommend this book to those who are curious about the kind of love that Ahn Soo-hyun left behind and how that love is still being passed on to many people.

The young doctor was not the kind of cold doctor who would avoid eye contact with a patient, say what he wanted to say, and then turn away as if something terrible were to happen.
He asked if I was in a lot of pain, smiled and apologized for not being able to treat me quickly, and even complimented me on how handsome my son was while taking care of me.
From the first day of hospitalization, the young doctor would come to the patient in the middle of the night and pray at the patient's bedside.

The young doctor wrote well.
Since my days as a medical student, I have been a writer who writes about faith, music, and books under the ID 'Stigma'.
His writings, which reveal his extensive knowledge and upright faith, have become very popular online.
The beautiful story of a young doctor and his patients gave us a gentle feeling of warmth and humanity amidst the coldness of medical practice.
In 2004, he won the grand prize for his essay titled “Intervention” at the Korea-US Essay Literature Award hosted by the newspaper “Youth Doctor.”

The young doctor was a man who shared what he had without sparing anything.
If someone needed it, he would give his time.
If someone needed it, I would readily give them praise tapes and religious books.
From the black bag he carried, books and records poured out like an inexhaustible spring and were distributed to those in need.
His love, which did not expect anything in return, brought people closer to God, step by step.
He even shared his own blood.
I have donated blood more than 30 times without anyone knowing.
He received a silver medal for blood donation from the Red Cross, but no one knew about it until after he died.

A senior in his fourth year of internal medicine said this.

“While working as an internist, I learned that patients don’t get better just by prescribing medicine.
“When a patient says they are sick and having a hard time, if you visit them again, comfort them again, and console them again, the patient’s recovery will definitely be faster.” He confesses that it is sometimes difficult to endure the sound of the pager ringing at a moment when his body is extremely tired, the various requests from the patient’s guardian, and the instructions from the staff.
But the words of my senior and missionary Seoldaewi hurt my feet like a 'stone in my shoe'.
Eventually, I pull myself together again and get up.
Hoping that God will give us the strength to handle those things… … .

We may be 'good and faithful servants' within the congregation of believers, but outside, we may be 'busy and evil' religious people who ignore and pass by the 'little ones' in need.
For whom is this busyness and ministry? We must stop the spiritual shaming of interacting and socializing only with close Christians within the church.

I was one of the 'little ones' who came into contact with the sacrificial love of Jesus through the dedicated seniors of the 'Stigma' Bible study team.
As someone who has experienced that love, I want to convey that love even more.
I want to make that love grow even bigger.
- From Chapter 5, 'The Lonely Shepherd'

Still, I am happy that I was able to do the things I had always wanted to do with joy when I was younger, and that those things could play a small part in helping others.
Now, I think I should quietly enjoy my area of ​​interest as an 'amateur' while preparing my abilities in the 'professional' field of being a doctor.
Whether it is a medical setting or a place of worship, the truth is that everything is always a life of choosing the Lord.

Around May 2008, I received an offer to compile the writings of a devout young man.
As a writer, I went to the young man's Cyworld mini-homepage.
And I couldn't help but be amazed by the countless memorial messages that filled the mini-homepage.
A post saying that Soo-hyun hyung was lying in the intensive care unit, a post saying he needed a blood donation certificate, a post telling him to please shake himself off and get up, and prayers, prayers, prayers.
It was an unexpected encounter with the young man, who, at the age of 33, had died from hemorrhagic fever while serving as a military doctor.
I read his writings one by one.
I felt a deep spirituality and intellect, a remarkable writing style, a warm heart as a doctor and human being who instinctively reaches out to the weak and the wounded, and the purity of a young man striving to live faithfully before God.

The young man was not a perfect person.
I have been shy and lonely, and have tried to be a good example to others, which has sometimes caused conflict and inconvenience to others.
Nevertheless, in the hearts of those who remember him, his faults have disappeared and only his love remains.
I learned something from weaving together that young man's life.
God will also pay attention to how much we love, how much we care for others, and how much we strive to do what is right, rather than to what great things we accomplish.
