동양 최고(最高)의 외과의사 러들로의 생애

Abstract

This article is about the life of A. I. Ludlow who played a significant role when Korea accepted Western Medicine. He, an American doctor, came to Kroea and devoted his life to raise Korean surgeon for twenty six years. Just as Ludlow divide his life into three stages - preparation, activity and retirement -, this article followed his division. In condensing his life and personality, he was a sincere Christian practicing Christ's sayings and an evangelist not through sermon but through education and medical care. As a doctor, he was an actual educator who raised students and inherited his knowledge and skills, a scholor who created a way to cure Amebic liver abscess. Also, he was not interested in the administration of university and contributed the medical development of Korea by devoting only to research. Therefore, his collegues praised that he was condescended, kind, liberal and a volunteer filled with sympathy.
