Concurrent symptoms
I verify which symptoms occur around the same time and which worsen or subside due to the same trigger.

The more an illness resists healing or frequently recurs, the more closely I examine how the symptoms and treatments have progressed so far.

What I Prioritize in Treatment
Diseases that do not heal easily
I examine them within the overall progress of a single person
I have met many people who come to us after visiting various medical institutions and departments due to illnesses that do not heal well or frequently recur. Symptoms handled by different medical departments, such as abdominal pain, headaches, palpitations, dizziness, and insomnia, may overlap in one person. There are cases where taking medication for each symptom does not lead to clear recovery, and the state of being ill has unexpectedly become a part of daily life. In such cases, we must not stop at looking only at individual diagnoses, but examine how various symptoms are connected and change together.
It is difficult to understand the flow by asking only about the most uncomfortable symptom right now. I examine when the body first changed, and what changes occurred after experiencing illness, surgery, childbirth, or after starting and stopping medication. I also check changes in weight, diet, and sleep, and verify which symptoms improved with previous treatments and which remained, in chronological order.
Tests, diagnoses, and the progress of treatment so far are necessary data for understanding the current state of the body. Clinical research in modern Korean medicine, physiological and pathological research in modern medicine, and observations accumulated in classical medical texts are different prisms for interpreting the same body. Rather than fitting the patient into a single perspective, I look for clues to understand symptoms and treatment progress that were handled separately by discerning the scope that each perspective can explain.
Three things checked during treatment
The point in time when the body changed
We review the chronological order of when you suffered from a disease, underwent surgery or childbirth, or when medications, weight, and lifestyle habits changed.
Changes before and after treatment
Based on test results and responses to previous treatments, we distinguish between symptoms that have improved and those that remain.
Questions that continue beyond the treatment
I extend questions that began in treatment into research and writing
Questions encountered repeatedly during treatment are not concluded with a simple on-site explanation. I review classical original texts alongside modern Korean medicine and modern medical research, recording a distinction between confirmed facts and interpretations that still require review.
Gogeum-uigo (Study of Ancient and Modern Medicine) We examine prescriptions, medicinal herbs, and symptoms from classical texts and write medical treatises on how they can be interpreted today. Reading Gogeum-uigo Baekrokdam Research Commons (BRC) We refine questions arising from clinical practice into research problems for modern Korean medicine and modern medicine, and examine what needs to be observed and verified.
