Into the book
“The reason Hippocrates is called the ‘father of medicine’ today is because he brought medicine from the realm of the gods to the realm of humans.
Before Hippocrates came to be known, there was little knowledge about disease, so people had no choice but to ask the gods for help.
Because they thought that illness was a punishment from God.
So, by building a temple and staying there, purifying one's body and mind, and concentrating one's mind in prayer, it must have had a real healing effect.”
--- p.17
“The French Revolution made health care available to all citizens.
This transformed the hospital, which had previously served only as a detention center for social outcasts, into a place where ordinary citizens could receive treatment.
“Thus, the French Revolution marked the transition from the era of ‘bedside medicine’ to the era of ‘hospital medicine.’”
--- p.30
“It is often said that ‘medicine is a science,’ but this is not a correct expression.
'Medicine is a discipline that has developed significantly through the use of scientific methods, and because it deals with people, it should be viewed as a discipline that requires a liberal arts background.'
Therefore, medicine requires scientific, sociological, and humanistic thinking.”
--- p.55
"In a time before stethoscopes, how did anyone first hear the sounds of the chest? In 1819, Laennec, the inventor of the stethoscope, published a book detailing the history of the stethoscope.
According to the book, on September 4, 1816, a plump female patient came to see him, and in a fit of spur-of-the-moment ingenuity, he rolled up a piece of paper, placed one end against the woman's chest, and held the other end to his ear.
However, the sound was better than expected, so efforts were made to create an instrument that could better hear the sounds coming from the chest, which led to the invention of the stethoscope.”
--- p.79
“The hospital where Semmelweis worked had delivery rooms in two wards.
However, we found that the maternal mortality rate was much lower in delivery rooms staffed by midwives than in delivery rooms staffed by doctors.
While looking for the reason, they noticed that doctors would touch dead bodies or patients with infectious diseases and then go into the delivery room without doing anything, but midwives would wash their hands thoroughly.
So when we made doctors wash their equipment and hands when they entered the delivery room, the mortality rate from puerperal fever dropped significantly.”
--- p.130
Advances in body transplant surgery in the 20th century confirmed the theory that body parts can produce new cells and grow.
From this point on, the field of tissue engineering began to develop, and naturally, regenerative medicine became an important element in tissue engineering.
Research on stem cells that can differentiate into various cell types is essential for regenerating cells, tissues, and organs.

Publisher's Review
Medicine is a discipline that studies what and how,
What field and what kind of work can I do if I major in medicine?
One of the most competitive fields for admission to top universities in Korea is medical school.
This may be because the perception is that being a doctor is a stable and socially recognized profession.
However, even if you manage to get into medical school, it is not the end. You must train for a long time, gain experience, and pass a qualification exam to become a doctor. Even after becoming a doctor, you must continue to study and refine yourself.
Because it is such a long and arduous process, it is not an easy path to take on without a professional calling.
So, before choosing a career in medicine, wouldn't it be beneficial for young people to explore what medicine truly is, what it encompasses, and what contributions it can make to society? "Medicine for Teenagers" introduces the exciting world of medicine to young people who dream of becoming medical students or harbor a vague curiosity about it.
Professor Ye Byeong-il, who has been working hard to cultivate talent while serving as a professor of medical education at Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine, will guide readers through various places inside and outside the medical school.
Professor Ye Byeong-il, who has been working hard to cultivate talent for a long time at Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine,
To teach young people who dream of studying medicine the true value and utility of medicine.
This book comprehensively introduces medicine from ancient times, when the concepts of doctors and hospitals did not even exist, to the future of regenerative medicine and ubiquitous healthcare.
By doing so, we look back on the role and value of medicine by examining how humans have developed medicine and what impact medicine has had on human life.
In particular, the stories of medical technologies and people who have made great strides in the advancement of medicine, such as Vesalius, the father of anatomy introduced in Part 2; John Snow, the father of public health who emphasized the importance of drinking water; Semmelweis, who discovered the importance of hand washing for doctors; Jenner, who developed the smallpox vaccine; as well as the stethoscope, the first diagnostic device; the enzyme immunoassay method that diagnoses various diseases with a single drop of blood; and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), known as the coronavirus test during the COVID-19 pandemic, will allow readers of this book to once again think about the importance, role, and sense of mission of the advancement of medicine.
Readers interested in medicine will also find the future medical technologies discussed in Part 4 fascinating.
We introduce organ cloning using 3D printing, regenerative medicine (stem cells) that restores damaged bodily functions, ubiquitous healthcare using information and communication technology, and medical artificial intelligence that helps improve clinical capabilities.
Cutting-edge technologies once only seen in novels and movies are already being used in various medical settings, confirming that medical advancements are reaching another level.
In line with the desire of modern people to live a healthy and youthful life beyond just living a long life,
The diverse and expanding roles of medicine are becoming increasingly important.
In 2022, the life expectancy of Koreans was recorded at 82.7 years.
In 1960, the average life expectancy was about 52 years, but it increased rapidly due to advancements in medical technology and economic development.
As a result, it is becoming more important to live longer, stay healthy, and stay younger without getting sick.
Accordingly, the role of medicine is expanding beyond treating the sick to preventing and managing illness before it occurs. To this end, people working in various fields, including clinical physicians who directly care for patients, basic medical researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and health care officials, are working together.
Professor Ye Byeong-il, the author, says, “Medicine is a discipline that studies how the human body is made and finds ways to maintain health.”
In doing so, he defined medicine as “a role that helps people by utilizing the knowledge gained through hard study by people who are curious about our bodies,” and in addition to directly treating patients, it can be used in forensic medicine, sports medicine, and new drug development, and people can also work as medical journalists, medical statisticians, and humanities and social medicine specialists, introducing fields that people with medical knowledge can advance into in the last chapter of this book.
This book will serve as a friendly and detailed career guide for young people interested in medicine, helping them decide on their own path and determine their direction by explaining how medicine can impact people's lives and change society, as well as the various fields and roles that medicine can play.
