, ” Ilsong Academy announced on the 25th that the autobiography ‘Mighty Doctor’ of the late Doheon Yoon, the Director of Ilsong Academy, who contributed to the development of domestic medicine and made sacrifices for the weak, has been published. The title of the autobiography symbolizes the ethical orientation that all doctors should strive for.”,
,
, ” Director Yoon succeeded his father, the founder of Ilsong Academy, Yoon Deok-seon, and took office as the 2nd Director in 1989. He ran Hallym University Medical Center, Hallym University, Hallym Soongsil University, Hallym International Graduate School, and 6 welfare centers for 35 years.”,
,
, ” His autobiography ‘Mighty Doctor’ contains his life from childhood to the age of 79, including his challenging early years during the war, his awe for life through biological specimen collection activities that instilled a sense of reverence for life, the struggles he faced as a surgeon to save lives, and his establishment of hospitals, universities, and welfare centers. It also includes previously undisclosed stories such as his battle with hepatitis in his youth, diagnosis of liver cancer, and the process of liver transplantation. The book demonstrates his spirit of perseverance and belief in overcoming adversity.”,
,
, ” Director Yoon practiced medicine with a mission to save patients at every moment. For him, medicine was not just a technical skill but ‘In-sul (仁術),’ a practice of protecting human lives. He provided free medical services for vulnerable groups starting from his time as the Vice President of Sengsimjasun Hospital and continued to offer free medical care steadily at Hallym University Medical Center and welfare centers even after becoming an administrator. He emphasized in the book that free medical care was an absolute necessity and an act of ‘In-sul’ that someone had to do.”,
,
, ” In addition, he continued his philanthropic endeavor in burn care. Director Yoon consistently invested in burn care, which inevitably incurred deficits, and transformed Hallym Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital into the only burn specialty hospital designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. He wrote in the book, ‘The reason I boldly invested in burn care, which everyone avoided, was solely due to the mission of saving burn patients. One cannot abandon a life for any reason. Someone had to undertake the hellish task of burn care, so since no one else was doing it, we had to continue.'”,
,
, ” Mark Hardy, a surgical director at Columbia University Medical Center in the United States who had a medical partnership with Director Yoon, mentioned, ‘Director Yoon contributed to the advancement of modern medicine, assisted underprivileged countries, and served mankind at the highest level.’ Robert Kelly, honorary president of New York-Presbyterian Hospital in the United States, described him as ‘the most excellent and inspiring person I know, leading everyone with a bold vision into tasks that seemed impossible.'”,
,
, ” Ilsong Academy will donate all proceeds from the autobiography in accordance with the late Director Yoon’s wishes to the social welfare corporation Hallym Burn Foundation.”,
