A message from the lab dog 'Champ'

After the death of Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738? Netherlands), a doctor who established modern clinical medicine, a tightly sealed book was discovered in his study.
The title is “The most profound secret in the history of medicine.”
The book was sold at auction for a huge sum and was finally opened.
But surprisingly, all the pages were blank, and only the last page had this written on it:
“Keep your head cool and your feet warm.
Don't be too greedy and always keep your mind at ease.
Then you will laugh at all doctors.”

Our country has moved from being one of the poorest countries in the world to one of the developed countries in just 50 years.
Amid this rapid growth, infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis, and diseases such as fractures are decreasing, while diseases typical of so-called advanced countries, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, angina, stroke, and cancer, are rapidly increasing.
However, most of these diseases can be prevented and treated effectively with just a healthy lifestyle, so they are called 'lifestyle diseases'.
What Burhaber really wanted to say was probably to maintain a healthy life through regular, thorough self-management.

In modern society, where the rapid development of science and industry has led to an increase in various diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, angina, stroke, and cancer, continuous self-effort is necessary to live a long and healthy life.
What the author emphasizes most in this book is what good habits are to prevent lifestyle-related diseases and why they are necessary.
It also provides easy-to-understand explanations of the basic concepts and questions patients have about the five most common diseases in the digestive, endocrine, respiratory, cardiac, and psychiatric fields.
Because understanding the disease makes it easier to adapt to the treatment process.


Above all, what makes this book different is its section on ‘medical communication.’
Although our country's medical standards are among the best in the world, we face a structural problem of having to see a large number of patients in a short period of time.
Especially from the patient's perspective, there are bound to be many complaints about communication with medical staff.
The author, who acutely recognized this problem in clinical settings and is the first professional in Korea to earn a doctorate in medical communication, provides specific guidance on how patients can communicate with their doctors.
The author says that, considering the situation of doctors who are always pressed for time, writing down questions and showing them to patients can save time.
The process of patients taking notes on their own also has the effect of clarifying the gist of the question.
It takes a lot of thought to choose a doctor, but once you decide on a primary care physician, you must trust and rely on them.
If you keep doubting and checking, you may end up distrusting each other.
Being honest about your experiences at other hospitals can be very helpful in choosing a treatment method.

If you had to choose between a warm, caring but incompetent doctor and a highly skilled one who would be rude to patients, which would you choose? The author firmly advises that you seek treatment from the eccentric doctor.
Because it is a terrible thing to entrust your body to a doctor who tries to compensate for your lack of skills with words.
For the same reason, we also advise against 'show doctors' who frequently appear in the media.
Additionally, in cases where the disease does not require a high level of expertise, small and medium-sized hospitals may provide better treatment than large hospitals.
In addition, we provide guidance on how patients should cope when a diagnosis is not easily made or when different hospitals offer different treatment methods.
