Condolences are continuing for the late Chairman Joong-joong, a professor at Asan Medical Center in Seoul, who died in a sudden car accident last weekend.

As a renowned authority in the field of heart surgery, more people are feeling sorry for the passion of the deceased, who usually ‘knew only the patient’.

″I came because there was no hope at another hospital, but the doctor operated and the progress was good, so I’m doing well until now without any problems..″

Professor Joo said he was prepared for emergency surgery and got a house 10 minutes from the hospital.

Although he had a reputation as a top-notch authority on the aorta, he was always humble when it came to medicine.

″Take chopsticks with your left hand and say you want to do surgery quickly and quickly with both hands while practicing, tying knots and sewing on a blanket (practice).″

In a statement, the Korean Medical Association deeply mourned Professor Joo’s death as “a very huge loss to the nation beyond the medical world.”

Tributes also continued online.

In one community, there was a post saying, “Thanks to Professor Seok-jung Joo, my father who suffered from heart disease survived twice.”

While the truck driver who hit Professor Joo’s bicycle was charged, the pedestrian signal at the time was red and the accident occurred on the right-turn only road, so the police believe that it was not a violation of the right-turn pause duty.
